Still undecided on the overall engine spec for the B though.... But got all the bits to build up both doors now as ditcing the polycarb route & keeping a steel boot door for now.
Before a nice sunday dinner I just riveted the door trim on & fitted the awesomeness that is the new release mech.

Not bad considering on WoN site a brand new twin 11lb direct port kit is just under £1k!

Yeah lools like guitar knob, also love the nos kit, want to test it on mine at pv?? lol 12 sec quaters anyone
If i'd have known you were after one, I've got a wizards street blaster 100i kit here with progressive maximiser doing nought :(
Mazz you selling it? humm
Yea I remember you saying before, but for what I paid for the two kits Ive got they were to good to turn down lolQuote:

If your at the nats we can discus it out of shot of womens ears though lol
Wouldnt mind seeing my times on 1/4 mile with that!
No problems :) I will take some pics for you to look at (if i remember!)
Loving this mate, Do you know what engine you want yet?
What spec XE is it getting?
A pretty decent spec N/A motor basically Paul. Omegas, rods, ARP, Autosprint race head, 300ish cams, L&B fly & bottom end, some throttle bodies & a nice old dollop of direct port gas ontop.Quote:

What is the spec of an autosprint race head?
Just being nosey lol
Big enough flow capacity for 320hp IIRC (in a 2.3 conversion.)
Is it not worth downspeccing slightly to get the flow velocity up for faster swirl etc? Or are you going for 300+? ;oQuote:

Bought an engine
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...cker/motor.jpg
And took it to teeny tiny little itty bitty pieces, and got it rebored etc etc
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ker/block2.jpg
And its still in teeny tinny little itty bitty pieces now...
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1.../baremotor.jpg
Played with my knob for a bit. Had a right problem getting it to fit (not the first time mind)
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...gobabygo-1.jpg
Bought a battery & fitted him, along with the wiring for it & kill switch
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...er/battery.jpg
And some harness's courtosy of our very own Mr Merris (thanking you please)
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...er/harness.jpg
Move the extinguisher out the way ~ for two reasons. Its looked shÃ*t where it was, an keeps heating up, setting off & filling the car with foam :S
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...cker/moved.jpg
And put the zoom zoom bottle in its place
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...r/zoomzoom.jpg
Didnt like the kevlar roof vent, so made a carbon one. But dont really like that either
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...carbonvent.jpg
And decided on complete inner floor trays as the grip tape just looked cheap. Will carbon'ise this in morrow & get it fitted along with the drivers side one.
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...innerfloor.jpg
And thats about it really.
Aint this done yet?
Kind off lol Its a little bit more then a simple engine change in my defence lol
Glad to see the engine is getting some work done.
Like the re positioning etc, free roof vent wanted if one's going with inside part? lol
Theres a piston in the block if that counts? Literally just one, balancing on its rings in the top of the block lol lol
But, I only actually work on this when Im bored, literally, that is the only time I kinda go near it :S
Oh, and Ive bought a selection of brake pads, couple of different compound Mintex ones, budget GM & Police spec GM, so in ten years time once its finished I can do some testing & see what falls off & what doesnt :)
As for the roof vent Scott, you dont actually need the internal part to make roof vents work (if youve ever seen the current M Sport Fiesta roof vents with directional ball vents you'll understand)
EDIT: And been making some carbon fibrer door pockets too, so they'll be fitted soon. And put more of the dash back together today lol so I am actually doing er, stuff :S
Yeah but would be nice to have the directional parts etc, then i can go for sliders an pollys all round, but till the time comes for roof vent/pollys I'll stick to glass.
Ah right ok, I havent got the inside mould for this type vent:
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...a/102_1674.jpg
But I do have the moulds to produce the classis Es'cos style vent like so:
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...r/102_1637.jpg
Finito'd this earlier whilst making loads of other tat lol
Carbon composite inner floor w/combined foot rest in one easy step :) reinforced it with a bit of roving so its pretty damn sturdy now.
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1.../innertray.jpg
Had to shorten it down a little as fire extinguisher is in the way so its not full length, but Mrs Mike is a short ass anyhow.
My words I can smell carbon when reading your thread lol
Coming along well Mike, hope the engine gets a full rebuild to a good standard like the rest of the build ;)
Does it smell strangley sweet, almost like syrup but not quite the same as? As thats all I can smell most of the time lol epoxy resin lolQuote:

Mike your the Willy Wonka of carbon fibre lol
Have you decided on spec then for the engine? I've a feeling your looking at spending megabucks :eek:
FLOL lol tbh Im doing more fiberglass stuff now lately, quicker & far easier to produce, saving the carbon'ness for the Corsa :) still yet to do the drivers inner floor aswell :S
Engine spec wise, Ill just make it up as I go along if Im honest, in no real rush. The actual car tho, its soooooo close to nearly finished its unreal! Just a few niggly problems, some odds & ends to buy & the funs over as it'll be all engine. Until I get bored of engine then I might make a complete Corsa carbon dash & definetly a GSi kit from carbon :)

is that so the floor doesn't blow out when the nitrous goes bang, in a fast & the furryar$e sort of way?
Got it in one :)Quote:
