20b Turbo track car build (England)
We've been building a 20b track (and road legal) car for the last few months, thought I'd better share some build photos
for all 20b enthusiasts.
The build for K-II has commenced after Sundays run around Rockingham, here's just a few early pics.
Inspiration for the wheels... Team America... FDUK Yeah !!

Thanks Phil.
And another parcel from Pro Alloy
The filler covers and fabricated funnel inserts ( one assembled and one broken down)
Not too much to report until Pip sorts his phone out and retrieves his pics.
Here is one of the last bits of kit to arrive for the build, a lightweight ally Sparco remote fire extinguisher kit.
The new carbon roof scoop arrived today.
Well, pretty much my last bit of expensive kit arrived yesterday and HAVE to say... it's fecking amazeballs !!!
This race battery is only 1.5 kg and is about the same as an oversized rubics cube with big power output,
considering it's JUST a battery..... it's ubber cool.

Righty, again, without the car I'm limited with what I can do but today I've secured the switch panel and MoTeC
digi dash to the flocked dash, we couldn't resist to fire them up using a jump pack to see what they looked like......
...... OMG, FDUKing awesome !!!!

As we were working on the Scoobie to sort out an oil leak on the gearbox and the fact that were waiting
for parts we didn't work on Kermy, I just finished off the fuel filler necks and firewall tubing.
Apparently we're just about to build a church organ !!!

Welding them in place
The finished holes.
The holes will have a custom carbon cover and the 3" pipes that come through the holes will have a reducer
pipe welded on to make a 4" exit.
The seond job tonight was to position the radiator and intercooler so that we can make the brackets.
Temporarily securing the bumper to check for clearances
Securing the splitter in place to check fitment with the wider bumper.
Positioning the radiator to make the brackets
And overhead view of the newley sited Rad.
