Tonight I had the time to mount my new fuelcell and to make a mount for the pump.  michael  Looks very good,something I noticed recently is the cars being built have a small loop around the front of the fuel cell to protect it from a frontal collision,I believe this is in the aftermath of Pat Mcdermotts fiat crash,might be a good idea to add this? cheers richie,uk |

Well I am back and was it a great time in the states.sure met a lot of nice people. I had the chance to take a set of frontrunners and a wast gate in my luggage so the "to have list" is getting a bit shorter allthough it is getting longer due to all the great stuff I saw in the Us.   Put the hairdryer and the wastegate together so they could get to know each other  michael |

Made some braces to stiffen the front as it was moving all over.They are made of treaded steel but I am making them of aluminium eventually.  Mocked up the wheelybars to see how it would look like.I don,t know if I need them but I had the chance to buy them so I will see if they are nessesary( let's hope I have the power to lift the front ).   Now it is time to deal with all the little details and to start working on the engine. michael |

had the time to pick up some parts I bought from Airspeed(owner of a fatchick with a typ4 turbo DTA intercooled dailydriver). It's a scat billet 86 mm crank with chevy journals and a set of cb H beam racerods.   I think this is a nice start for the new engine that will be in the tiki. Michael |

Yes Why? Michael Interested thats all! Have you more details on what you plan with the engine? Case, bore size, cc etc? I will be running my old 2.4 engine nex year with a turbo. And I am planning to build a brand new engine.Again typ4 but with pauter heads. It probably will be 86x103 which is close to 2.9 liters. The plan is to have the case machined for 6 studs per cilinder and for typ 1 lifters. The rest of the enginespecs will be determend when I have contact and advise from the enginebuilder as I need some one to do the machining and to help me put it all together. Michael |

Should be quick with the old engine, it looks like it will finish off being light. When you have the 2.9  I am so looking forward to seeing this finished! Have you any drawing of how you want it to look? Rob. |
