The Cal-look Lounge

hello guys,
heres a first pic with my front wheels installed... ;)

Looks good so far.Looking forward to see the car finished.  :)

nice, but what we want to see is the big turbo engine  ;D

Hey Nicolas,
I didnt work on the motor yet,
I still need to fabricate ALOT and buy some stuff...
I hope its finished before EBI (it should :) )
scored an early rear subframe for it yesterday, will convert it to IRS; i think it will be stronger with the framehorns..

yes it will be stronger and if you can replace the rubber supports that hold the frame to the rest of the floorpan with stiffer urethane or teflon ones. (i am trying to get those made if i take the trans out) and that will stiffen up the rearend as well.
and if you keep it IRS you need to weld in the brackets OR you can use the top of the IRS frame and the bottom on the early one, then there is no problem with the fiddling and measuring of the brackets.

enough about rearends and bottoms though

hey nicolas,
I read somewhere that type 3 detectives had the harder rubbers for the subframe..

here Nicolas:

Nice new project  8)

yep that is what i mean.

Sold the Ghia today,
more money for the notch :)

hey Guys,
got my rear drums redrilled and installed today :)
I think i will keep her like that, without lowering it

Very nice!

Indeed looks good like this, has a certain element of agression in it's stance. Start with the engine now, see how it handles and go from there. Early notches were known to lift their noses at speed, that's why the nose was changed to creaye more downforce. Let's see what this fat chick will do.

Looks very cool !  :o

What are your tire sizes ?

Nice !

Hey Guys,
thanks :)
tires are 145 michelins and 185 70 vredesteins

The 185 70 vredestein look fat on your car.

I though there were bigger.  ;)

thanks a lot
I like em too :)

no rubbing in the back?
alloys are 5.5 in the back?  do you know the ET?  I guess 5.5's are ET 45 ?  ???

I also would like to use 185's on my notch, but my sprintstars are 5.5 ET 34.

is an IRS car wider then a sprinplate car?  ???

those are late 6" fuchs. you can google the ET i think. ;)

Hey Dem,
as Dieds said, they are late 6", dont know the ET,
I didnt drive her yet, so cant tell you they are rubbing or not..
they do come close to the wheel wells
IRS is wider is guess, but how much i dont know
Youll just have to try it :)

okay, thx D and P.
I'll give it a go. 

Hey Dem,
I drove it around and no rubbing with the 185s
i can can just stick my fingers between tyre and fender...
nice car for cruising too :)

Here you can check your ET:

Greetz!

Timeless wheels , make any car perfect

Thx Felix!  car looks great, wheels make the car!

hey guys,
started to mock up the header and turbo.. :)

Well,
I decided, I will use a charge cooler, I dont like to have too many tubes and all that,
but its smaller and i wont have to cut holes in the car... would like to keep it looking stock...
so here it is:

still need to order, but its not expensive at all, and i will use an electric waterpump from a merc that i found for 15 euro :)

lowered in the front...
dont know what i like best; before or after....
and the new cooling system

nicely lowered, don't change a thing now  ;)

don't worry 'bout the stance, Ninove is 8 days away ;D :P

Hey Peter,

I really like the porsche fan,looks great ;)

 ;D

Yep looks good, I would just add bumpers.

Thanks Nico!
bumpers just add weight :)
i have a set of t bars i want to try out...
been busy with fabbing the intakes for the motor

X2!

weight added with bumpers= 1%
look added with bumpers= 90%

For my taste you need those railway tracks.

Have fun!

railway tracks  ;D ;D
been busy welding the intakes..
a mockup before the motor goes apart:

seems like it's coming along nicely, will be a killerride, without bumpers  ;D

Love the setup!  :o

Sorry if this is a stupid question but would there be any icing issues with the manifold is a setup like this?

Cheers,

J

thanks,
not stupid at all,
didnt think about that yet...
we ll see  ;)

any updates???


Greetz,

Michiel

got my solid mounts from t3d today, so i will mount the subframe in 5 mins :)
got a lot of other parts, and i am busy mocking up the longblock.
Its a bit sad, i ve got even some ricer parts into the engine... but i will try to keep em out of sight :)

Pics soon :)

good to see you used some hachiroku parts for that bad boy!  :P

mocking up a bit more :)

starting to look like trouble :-D
can't wait to see it go!

the case is closed since yesterday :)

hell yeah!
thanks for the help :)

getting closer :)

you are running a dog shelter overthere?  ;D

impressive! finally we can see a 9 sec run @ EBI!  :P

really nice work Peter!!!

Dem,
no thats where i put my wife when she disobeys me..  ;D ;D
the blanket is that she zouldnt freeze in the winter

That's the spirit!  :D

there was oilpressure yesterday :) but still a lot of things to do.

Yes indeed;
hope to fire up today or tomorrow latest :)

Nice!
I'll reserve you a spot next to me in the pits!

good luck peter!

thanks guys..
Dieds, is the super diff installed now?

no, still waiting on the gearbox to get done. gotta control myself until then ;D ;)

It ran yesterday!
still got to fix the alternator and i can drive this thing :)

nice one, got any photos to back it up? ;)

Hey guys,
Some more crap keeps popping up:
oil leaks, almost no oil pressure, intake leaks (i think)...
i think i have an intake leak, because 3 and 4 side is getting much hotter...
will try with some brakecleaner tonight.. F###CK! i m getting tired of it  >:( >:(

Come on Peter, do not give up! The break cleaner / start gas test will give you a answer ASAP. Or you can try to make a adapter and used your compressor to test the turbo system / intake system for leaks.

Thanks Kalle  ;)
will try a few things tonight.....

Good luck, it's part of our hobby  ;D

hey guys,
did some work today...
took off the sump to be able to install the stiffer spring and other piston at FW side ...
maybe its normal, but the cow magnet was filled with metal debris...
i hope its from breakin...
will show a pic of it later
anyway, installed everything again and cranked for oil pressure....
nothing....even after a long time cranking  :'( :'(
next, i ll take off the pump cover and otherwise it will have to come apart again...
i did prime it but didnt hepl now...

pic of the magnet....
tell me if it looks bad ???
i didnt find any aluminium flakes from the bearings though in the oil
cheers, Peter

Outch, I hope the best for you Peter.

yikes, what's that coming from?

i guess the cam  >:( >:(
its metallic, so it cant be the bearings

not sure but looks like quite a bit of metal to me.
most be metal as it sticks to the magnet.

henk!!!

hey guys,
just checked the oil pump and it looked ok,
but while reassembling, i noticed that i connected the oil filter backwards!!!!
this must be the stupidest mistake ever  :'( :'(
i can kick myself in the head now :)
i guess this explains my low oil pressure

hey buddy, You gave up or still fighting to get to DDD?  ???
Hope to see you there with the notch!

Hey Dem,
still fighting :)
I rebuilt the complete engine because cam, lifters and all bearings were gone
i got oil pressure yesterday and tried to start it today, but no luck...
hopefully tomorrow this bitch fires up or i ll start to pull my hair out :)
i also just installed the outer valve springs for breakin, so hope the cam and lifters wont fail on me this time

sounds good man, I'll pray day and night and I'll visit "scherpenheuvel" with 659 candles to burn for you!  ;D

GO GO GO!

Damn !

SHE RAN!!!!  ;D ;D ;D
now tuning, install the innner springs and maybe i can drive to ddd

it sounded good  ;D

Good luck!!!

Wout

did you not make it with the engine?
didn't see your cat at DDD,more problemes?

henk!!!

hey Henk,
I made it there,
but i destroyed my gearbox when I went to the burger king...  ::)

Dam Peter, that`s why they call it FAST FOOD! Very dangerous for weak gearboxes  :)

HAHA :)
we didnt get there fast though :)

so you destroyed it before could look at it,that was fast.
at least you got the engine running,that's good.

henk!!!

time for a mendy  ;D ;D

Hey Kalle,
For now, I am happy :)

the original gearbox is getting tired quick  ;D

Nice Peter!!
When is the real box coming??
