That is a neat video.

 

hehe, I'll never get tired of riding in that car:P

 

Roar!

What kind of transmission on the rallycar? Sellholm?

 

I want your kit

 

sellholm is correct frode

 

Column looks good, will be a great car when its all done!

 

thanks, I cant wait to be finished with the car so i can drive in it..Looking forward to feel the power of the 20b engine, never tried one like it before.. Only been driving piston engines and 13b engines earlier..

 

a little update after the weekend.

Engine mounts are finished



Mount for the tranny is done, should be strong enough?



A little adjustement of the headlights, made for FD



And a little view of the engine bay as a last picture

 

i love the stance of the car

 

Looking good Roar, seems like there will be a lot of 1.gens next summer! Now, how about starting a thread on the norwegian Mazda owners forum?

PS. Hva slags pris hadde du sett for deg for et panser i carbon?

 

neh, its enough with a tread here isnt it?


pris på karbon panser vet jeg ikke enda, skal tenke litt mere på priser når jeg har fått støpt til meg selv å ser hvordan resultatet blir..

 

i have started the work on the mold of the hood now, will aply 2 layers of fiberglass tonight probably..

 

the mold of the original hood is now finished, i have started slowly on a differenth kind of hood for the FB also, but i will come with more info about that one later..

also picked up the turbo today.

 

little more work done on the car now..

maked a spott for the turbo, started on the exhaust manifold...maked the flanges today..

 

I wish I had all the fabrication skills and tools you have, keep up the great progress, and I will be looking forward to seeing the end result

 

That's it!, I'm learning how to weld!!!!!!!!!

Very interested in your body kit, ........you my Norwegian friend are an inspiration!!!!!!!!!!.............................

 

hehe, good to hear... when i have maked the body kit for my self i will get a price for what it will cost for other people to buy it from me...


weldings is not a big problem...

 

tomorow i will start do some test with the carbon fiber, going to try to make a rear fender or two..

 

Have you come up with a price yet?
I could even pick it up in Oslo, might be a waste of time but hey I allways want's to meet fellow Rotards and touch their 20B's

 

I cant come with a price for the people before I have maked the whole kit for my own car.. This is beacause i need to find out how much time it takes, and I also have to make the last molds of the "wing" and the front and rear spoiler..

I only have molds of the hood and the fenders yet, the rest I havent cared about since its not the most important to do on the car.

Will probably take a month or two before I can come with a price..
Depends on what material you want also, and the thickness of the fenders, how many layers of fibers you want..

But its not to hide that the carbon fiber kit will be expencive, the fiber glass by the way will be a lot cheaper... The carbon fiber by it self and the epoxy for it, is very expencive..And also the process for making it in carbon fiber is a lot more complicated than the fiber glass.

 

this is how the fender looks like now, the test is running and the picture shows the mold with the carbon fiber under vakuum...will stay like this for tomorrow and then I will find out if the carbon fiber is coming of the mold or if it is stuck to it..



comming with a new update tomorrow

 

nice shop setup for all this CF stuff ... hopefully I'll have something similar soon.

 

here are some pictures of how the test ended..
Some marks on the fender caused by to little job with the fiber before i put it in vakuum, going to do a new test on monday where i want the result to be perfect..

well, here are the pictures of the result, i looks bad beacause i had not cleaned the fender after i took it out from the mold when i took the pictures..the surface on the fender is as near to perfect as you can come for a first timer..


Inside of it looks bad beacause of the vakuum-bag maked the marks, but who cares about the inside?


the outside looks much better


some better pictures maybe?

 

Roar, what turbo is that? Bought it from Kai?

Fender looks awesome

 

Frode, the turbo is a turbonetics turbo, what kind of i dont know yet, will be tested with several different turbos in the dyno..

not bought from kai, but from a guy in trøgstad named alf eng..
