Is that a super beetle[1303] strut spindle you are using Micke? Good to see you updated floor to proper spec rather than what they come with ;)

Hi,
Saw the steering column set up on your instagram, what kit did you use?

Nice

Nice job Micke!

Where did you get that jig? Seems to be good to build a car on it.

Hi Mikko
Jig is made from ALU profiles ( 200x80mm)   (as building machines)
/// Micke

Ok! So, there is some company that sells this alu profil?

Hi mikko
I have bought profilena as machine scrap   :)
There are a number of firms selling similar profiles here

Sorry to say, but there isn't any pictures to see.. Not even the old ones.  :(

poxy photobucket....

Not the last 3. All I see is empty boxes.

The rest have the photobucket ransom message

Why don't you just use the built in photo upload? Then we will always see the images as I will never pull a fast one on you like photobucket :-)

Excellent work on the car 'thumbs up'

Hi, Ibg
Shafts are made by a friend who works on bomeck ( splins is 930)
We have a company called Arödsmekaniska here in Gothenburg(sweden), which manufactures drive axles
Steel is UDDEHOLM ORVAR® SUPREME     (   http://www.bucorp.com/orvar_supreme_h.htm   )

I love it! Beautiful work Micke.

I especially like the exhaust work.

Did you make all the carbon work using moulds?

Thanks !!
My goal is to make 95% of all details
I manufacture all carbon fiber details (some molds I have borrowed)

there is nothing that can comment on anything on the building ?

Its all looking good Micke 8)  I think I would have bought some bends for exhaust to make it, that looks alot of welding :o Wiring for the Fueltech looks really neat as well 8)

Looks real good! Are you using steel for the tin work?

It is slowly moving forward with the car
Hope it can be finished this fall this year
It is the old man who is the problem  >:( (should change the hip joint)

Hey Micke,

always good to see progress 8),

Yes there are a few hotels near[10-15mins drive away] but I think they will be booked quite soon as event is looking good already 8)

Micke,
The quality of this build is amazing.

What is your expected times?
Is the car built for 1/8 or 1/4?

Cheers

1/4 and 1/8
///Micke

Started  :D

Sounds great!!

Congrats with the milestone and keep on with the good work. Remember what I have always said: if you wish to be ready for the season you need to finish the build in time for Christmas.

Excellent 8) is that on E85 ?

Yes Richie
Racing E85  :D

It happens a bit in the garage again
Has got started with the inside
But it is usual to have many things going on at the same time as a sunnen honing machine came into the garage

More work on the inside is done

sounds scary  :o
how much hp did it?

I'm watching! I understand the chassis part, most of the engine bits but electrical and electronic stuff scares me, so I have less to comment about. Please keep posting!

what size is that engine? flat tappet cam ?

Why do you want to control the boost?

Just set the spring at wastegate.

Or do you want lower boost at lower gears and higher boost at high gears?

ABSOLUTELY!!!
Its literally that I dont have any experience of this level of fabrication.
I'll ask the odd question but am happy to watch and learn.
VERY interested in hearing the beast and seeing dyno curves and figures  ;D

Keep it up PLEASE

Michael, don't stop posting here !! A lot of people see your post and pictures,
but we forget to write our appreciation.
So here it is: Thanks for all the great pictures and information's you share !!

Stevo L   411 WHp @ 1 bar :D
Bedjo 78  2442 cc and flat trapet
Mikko K  To control with CO2
Can you control the charge pressure as desired
2 solenoid valves are used to control the pressure of WG
Exp 0.8 bar in the beginning late after a tenth you can increase the pressure
When changing gears, you can lower the pressure to avoid wheel spin
You can also have a button on the steering wheel so you can have extra high pressure for a little while  ;D
If anyone is in Gainesville next weekend
/// Micke

good work mate ,car is awesome

Know that there are plenty of us lurkers..

We don’t know enough to even ask good questions!

Better to keep your mouth shut and appear the fool,
Then to open it and remove all doubt. ;D

Gainesville?
Florida?

You are racing the car there?

Phone keyboards just don't work so great when covered with drool! Keep up the good work. Look forward to seeing how this one turns out.

Your Flip front reminds me about the mini bug i ve built, this one had to be modified around the corners too

Fantastc work  Micke , (charge 3 bar  ;D)

Rgs /Erich

Please don't go Micke, we love you really  :D

Can I ask what size is your turbo manifold pipework and also what size are your exhaust valves ?

I'm trying to find out what size people are using on 'bigger' engines before I buy bends/pipe myself.

Thanks

Keep looking at the thread numbers Micke and remember there are plenty of people lurking around

wow, there nice!

I wish I have that skill building carbon doors

Stunning !!!
Far out of my game , but i love to see this kind of dedication and perfection !
Keep up the great work !
I guess we all have “finally” the time we always wanted to build stuff we never had the time for

awesome work cant wait to see it run

It is moving forward with the racing car
Lots of boring jobs

It is fun to powder coat details

Does that door handle weigh more than the door?  :D ;D


Keep going Micke, getting close now 8)

Nice to see your attention to details even when it comes to body work  :) :)

Very nice built ..

Awesome.
REAL shame that youre painting the doors though..  8)

It is fun to know that it is carbon fiber under the color :D
 Little info is carbon fiber is sensitive to UV Therefore there will be a special lacquer over what should be carbon fiber

Now THAT'S a wing!!!
Make sure you get the angle of attack correct or you'll find yourself a couple of KM in the air!!  ;)

That with wing can do good
The last time we were invaded we got 8-9 kmt at the big end
Just for info at 160 kmt things start to happen with wing
But if there are things that disturb the wind on the wing, it may be slower
Unfortunately, there is so much lift in the rear of a type1

Hi
Now they have worked like crazy
To test the car this year
A lot has happened in a short time
The last things in place
[attachment=1]
[attachment=2]
[attachment=3]
So there were loads for testing
[attachment=4]
The car went straight as an arrow the first test
Test no. 2 screwed it on co2 to see how it worked and the charging pressure was very low 0.35 bar
A nice start and it was 7.17@160 km (1/8)
is very happy with the first test

And that is why I will never use that overpriced POS, I just don't get why people waste money on it?   :o >:( ???

How do you mean Richie? May I ask what component is overpriced?

Cheers

Would think Richie is not happy with it
We have made them work on NA worked very well 
(It takes a little thinking for them to work )
But over a limit with a lot of HP I would understand why Richie is not happy with that product
It has still worked very well for me

The RLR rev shit clutch  ::)

Hi

Some improvements so it is easier to charge the battery
[attachment=1]
So it was time to see how the balance is on the car
[attachment=2]
The weight is within a few percent what was the goal (2 kg +)
I know there are many who are curious about the weight but you will not find out ;D
[attachment=3]

/// Micke

Didn’t you post the result on instagram?  ;D

Hahahhah. Tricky Mickey!
If the Left to Right balance is 49.1% and you have adjusted it so that when you are in the car its 50/50 then that makes your weight .9%
Assuming you are 90Kilos that makes the car ~ 900Kilos....
But my maths is probably wrong  :D

Hi
Some winter modifications like firewall in titanium
Just because you can do it like that :D
firefighting in the engine compartment
 if you have to drive with methanol (Swedish rules)
/// Micke

very Nice ...

Micke, what do they describe as the firewall? just the upright vertical part or everything that covers trans all way to back of driver seat?

cheers Richie

Hey!   Richie   we have so many rules in sweden
But I have found a loophole If you have better material type steel or better in the so-called firewall
There is aluminum behind the back and there was a discussion when the chassis inspector was here last year about this
Can be used with clothes in classification sfi 3-2A / 5 with methanol
  Swedish rules, they are crazy to have an inspection of 3-2A / 15-20 as with a period of 2-4 years that you can send the clothes to us for inspection.
Therefore, it is titanium in the so-called firewall (got it for free
/// Micke

Thanks, our rules are just as confusing ::) I have a 3-2A/15 suit as the way i read it I need it for any supercharged/turbocharged rear engine car on methanol but in some classes here it says 3-2A/5 is ok still like Super comp, but Comp eliminator says i need the /15 suit ???  Its a pain sending the suit back to Simpson for recert every few years as well :(
