985cc Turbocharged Nova Sprint Car

Any picks or links mike - sounds interesting

I have loads on a memory card somewhere from my friends JWRC Swift, Maxi C2 R2 & a DS3 R he/his business currently building. Hes also done a few "conversions" on 106's & normal C2's to repositioned tilted rads. Works really well IMO.

EDIT: Found memory card but not got a reader for Mini SD cards anymore :/

EDIT2: All is not lost, I have a DS3R build manual somewhere...

does sound interesting, i have a good idea what i want to do though and some alloy sheet and a bit of imagination may suffice, but pics/links would be ace either way

Details of Citroens rally build manuals show basic pictures here - page 14 onwards

But we still need your pictures


Edit : Loads of bedtime reading here on the works C2'R2D2's and DS3's etc

nice links there dave, looks exactly like what i want to do!!

Pages 14 ~ 17 in the first link are what you want The OEM rad shroud is fleixble plastic type stuff, the lower dummy bar is steel obviously, as are the replacement rad mounting brackets.

Its a dead simple design TBH, shocked that no ones though of using it sooner on a track car TBH although with a standard manifold implacation with downpipe interference will definetly happen. The works cars overcome this by using a titanium over gearbox type manifold & heat insulated thermal plastic air intake above that (Citroen type) the Suzuki setup is same theory but slightly different in design.

A lot of the works build manuals I have in my loft for these have similiar photos to that link. Being the acual book that comes with the kit though, its a lot more detailed. And FYI theres just over 540 parts in the DS3R rally pack.... so theres a lot of pages to said book

i have already sealed the rad in as efficiently as i could in stock position, but i wanted to do it properly now, i reckon i have a bit more room too with a tubular front end, as i certainly cant afford a titanium manifold!::

The manifold is one of the most expensive parts of the kit pack!

Honestly lee, its really easy to do, sheet matierial, same angled Y shaped brackets & a bit of lateral thinking = result. The problems start if you get manifold interference though.

EDIT: Another trick as fook thing aswell.... in the Suzuki Swift JWRC rally pack, the cabin air feed, thats a work of GRP art! No roof vents needed, a proper trick two piece affair that leads from front of bonnet, to bulkhead an then through into cabin. Really simple awesome idea.

[lee303]

i like my roof vent! i have enough to do anyway, need to finally make my splitter out of wood so i can get a good radius on the front of it, and a few other things, anyway, enough chit chat in colins thread i would imagine, i am looking forward to seeing this back together though!!

Some maybe useful pics from my facebook...

Note lower front dummy bar, rally pack add on



OEM lower valance should look like this, on my old 106



C2 R2 works type air cleaner feed with works manifold on my friends C2.

**** thats nice!
