It looks like you ended up removing the package tray on this one. Did you end up boxing up to the rear window more or less? I'd love to do a similar setup to my 60 one of these days. I'm excited to see this build continue to mature!
I just clearanced it enough for turbo to fit up high enough and for air filter hose to turbo, then ally panelled over that, finally made a carbon rear seat to cover it all
I like it!

That looks pretty damn epic. I think i'm going to copy the carbon fibre back panelling....up until i see the price for the sheets, then it'll be plywood and carpet

Needed a decent fuel system, luckily I ran big enough fuel lines through car 1st time so main upgrade was the pump, went with this from fuelab, next was converting car to hydraulic clutch, fitting a master cylinder is not easy on a RHD car, its a bit tight in there!!!

I told you not to buy the small one. Does that mean I can have my spare back?

Don't remember that conversation, this was way before you ran out of pump on yours, this is pump you now got and supposed to send to John or Lester in february

Richie, I'm enjoying this thread. Do you have a shot of the pedal side of the clutch set up. I've done one on the left side by extending the clutch shaft through and out the left side of the tunnel, but yours looks very neat. Also, which master cylinder?

While this was going on I got the cage checked and certed for 8.50, before it was only tagged to 10.0 as I figured it wouldn't go quicker than that with the nitrous engine in it.
Upped the fuel outlet on tank to be sure it would be big enough whatever i tried later on
Also made some molds of 2 different rear air deflectors to try and then made them from carbon of course
and added some shock sensors to measure the effects of them

That's the plan
I had finished all the mock up stuff needed at this point so could clean and assemble engine ready to go back in

just out of curiosity, did you change the cam? I presume you did, one better suited for a turbo, or is this not being done anymore? and are that pauter rods or the newer CB?

This is a completely different engine, i sold the other complete with gearbox and all the nitrous set up as well
Yes they are pauter rods, i haven't tried the new cb rods yet

Never fitted these ally bearing retainers 1st time round so thought it was about time, also used some Ti hub nuts but they really aren't worth the ££££ - Grams saved
