Fuck yea

lol, thats my dyslexic sign writer for you, the 'H' will be added at a later date !! :)

Thanks very muchly, I hope to inspire others with this baby. :nod:

Jumping on. Keep up the incredible work.

All aboard !!! lol

It's great to see people are interested. :)

Love the fab work but really hate the exhaust. seems unnecessary to have two mufflers and it looks like it chokes down quite a bit at the point where it splits into the mufflers. Also, seems like there isn't any means of the radiant heat from the mufflers escaping which would make the cabin quite warm.

There are a few tracks over here that require 90 decibel limits, believe me, if we didn't have to have them we wouldn't, on
the plus point we've used v-clamps and have two straight through pipes to take the cans place for the shows and mega noise events ! :)


With regard to the heat issues, they are still outside the car, we've kinda just raised the floorpan over them. :)

I'm sure you're all getting fed up of these pics of the shell coming back but I is excited again. :)

Nice built

That's the best "wide" rear fender I've ever seen.

Thanks fella, I wanted it to look identical to the original FD rear fenders but just wider, you really have to have another
FD next to it to appreciate that it's different and a whole 12 inches wider. lol

Started a little bit of work today, door brackets, fuel filler pipes and caps fitted and the roof scoop is now
bonded to the roof, the black and green theme is gunna look epic. :D

Sweet!

Hope you took a whip with you to fire up the guy with sand paper ;)

OK, back on it tonight.

Cut the hole for the Motec Bezel I got from the states, happy now the dash sits flush.

Not much to report tonight as we're waiting for the inlet gasket set to come in from Chris at ReWorx (life saver, thanks mate)

so just a solitary pic of the gearbox oil cooler that Demon Tweeks kindly sent me today. :)


Attachment 669479

insane, good stuff

Tonight we wanted to get the engine in but we still had a few problems seating the injectors but this is something that
couldn't be rushed as we don't want to have to take the engine back out to sort the problem of a leak, we dry fitted
the joins and connectors to make sure of clearances, we're quite chuffed with the results, the engine goes in tomorrow evening. :)


Our first idea to seat the injectors was rejected !! :D


Attachment 667343


The rails, injectors and fittings in place. :)


Attachment 667344


And checking clearances for the UIM.

Attachment 667345


And just a couple of arty shots as the set up looks rather sexy. :thumbsup:


Attachment 667346


Attachment 667347

Looking top notch :)

lol, not after tonight matt, a bit frustrating to say the least.

We built the engine up and yes we DID put the engine in the car but the oil pressure sensor AND the connector at the
end of the secondary fuel rail caught on the bulkhead, the only option was to cut the bulkhead, that was the easy bit, the
pain in the arse bit will be to weld in some box section, the engine will need to be removed again for the welding. ARSE !!!!


Re-tapped the thread on the retaining nut for the sandwich plate for the oil thermostat and cooler splitter.


Attachment 667214

Fitted the connectors to the FPR

Tonight was a good example, engine in, clutch in, gearbox and the entire drive train is in, all works and fits great.

Would you like an engine with your turbo, sir?

WOW. Very nice.

..and you Brits are a silly bunch... ;)

The best build threads are from the U.K, Sweden or New Zealand.

wow!! blown away at the talent and work put in to this, really cant wait to see it all done and killing it on the track/street!! GLWS!!!

Thats why I had to go 20B.... the turbo would look rediculous !! lol

Thanks.... eccentricity runs rife over here !! :)

Thanks fella, time will tell if we've done it right !! :)

Thanks Scotty, he's certainly turning into a famous car and I haven't even finished it yet !! lol

Tonight I wanted to get the fuel system completed, apart from a small piece of hose and a connector job complete. :D


Not much to see but I haven't posted any pics in a little while !! :rolleyes:

All the fuel and oil lines through the bulkhead now installed.

Attachment 666055


Attachment 666056


And finally the return to the swirl pot.

Attachment 666057

How much would something like those lines cost? Let's say to replace your stock fuel lines or any lines to those?

holy fu**, this thing is a beast...

will you ever drive it on europe mainland? you have to tell me if you visit the nordschleife for example! ;)

May I ask, what dashboard are u using and where to get it?
I want to keep my stock dashboard in my track build, but it just makes to much trouble :( your dashboard would be a nice alternative... or is it custom made?

Not cheap for sure fella, the dash 8 180 degree bends for example are £35 each and the dash 8 hose is about £20 per meter.

Woah... lots of questions !! lol

I'm not a fan of the Ring but we WILL be venturing to Spa in Belgium next year for sure and maybe a few other Euro tracks,
but I'll certainly post on here when and where Kermits gunna be running. :)

The dashboard is Atomic Rex's, I wouldn't have much of his stuff but some certainly have merit and this is a good piece
of kit, the FRP doors of his are very good too and you can lift them with one finger, great for me as I'm trying to get him
down to about the tonne mark. :nod:

Wow, seriously? 900 kg (or 2000 lbs for those of us stateside)? That would be incredible!!

Gorgeous! Great build!

Haha, sorry ;)

Do you/your team has a FB page to follow? Spa would be great, my girlfriend is from the cologne area, would be great to visit her parents and Spa to see this beauty ;)

Oh, didn't knew that he also offered a dash. I have a 2nd hand pedal box from atomicrex/obp, was a PITA to fit it into the car (especially with stock dash und stock clutter under the dash). After all the hacking I've done to it I will use it as a template and make my own box in the future...
Is he still in business? Seems that his website isn't working anymore :/

1000kg would be amazing 0.o

one more question (sorry for spamming up your thread ;)) Is the cage a kit from customcages.co.uk?

Yep custom cages is the kit in the car.... an FD is an ABSOLUTE PITA to put a cage in... just no room to maneuver at all.

Jon goes as Minataur Racing these days but still does some of the FD parts.

The dash is actually quite good. :)

We haven't got a team FB page but I've got my own page and I set up Torque Zone on FB which is our club cars in Reading, England
that I get together a few times a year, :)

Dave

Thanks very much. :) :icon_tup:

Great, can you give some first hand impressions of the custom cages kit quality? Fitment, quality of cuts, any parts not included in the kit which are necessary?
did you dropped the cage for welding the tops or did you cut your roof?

Thanks for the info on the dash and the FB links, will add them for further stalking :D

The cages are pretty good, fitment and cuts,defo didn't lift the roof,cut the floor and slid it through.

The only bit I've got to sort out is the rear bar over the fuel cells as we had to cut it to get them in, think
I'm gunna put the bar back in there with a couple of sleeves bolted in, this will be fine as it's horizontal strength
will be retained as well as a rear strut bar going on. :icon_tup:

Absolutely amazing!!! I love how stock the widebody looks!!! I wish I knew how to do body work and fabrication :(.

Thanks buddy, that was my plan for the looks, I wanted to follow the original lines as it's the most beautiful
car in the world (In my opinion), and you have to have a double take to see how wide he is now although you have to
have a normal FD next to him to appreciate the difference. :nod:

Not too much to see whilst the wiring is being completed.

Many more updates will be coming next week.

The fuse board is nearly completed and will be fixed to the bulkhead shortly

That's awesome. I want to build a car in my living room.

I heard Nicholas Cage had an old Jag carried sideways through a window in his house and set in his living room just as a decoration.

haha does that say Team "Fuck yea?".......

It's actually missing the 'H', my sign writer will put it right

But yeah, Team green - Fuck yeah - inspired by 'Team America' :)
