Not my happiest moment, but atleast i didn't hurt myself or roll the car on the roof..

I have started the bodywork, so i have sorted out wich dents can be straightened out and wher i need to weld in fresh metal.

Also now i haveto paint the car, so it will hopefully be turning white with black details before the summer is over

 

Don't feel sad about that! There's a lot of people that never use their cars to the limit. And to find were the limit is you have to go past it! That's just the way it is! :-)
There are alot of people that totaled their cars also...
Keep it up man, it's just getting better and better!

 

I won't give up, i just need better tires :P

So plans have changed, i'm going to use Apexi pfc, FD uim and t2 rotors, since i got the pfc cheap and using the t2 rotors means i don't haveto buy


My new UIM

FD vs t2, adapterplate should be fairly easy to make.

Started working on the T2 lim so it works with the pp's


My first attempt at porting.





Finished ports. hope they work good in conjunction with the pp's.

 

Thumbs up for a sick FC

 

It's very sick indeed, hope to gett it healthy again :P








Thanks

 

 

 

 

 

some progress, spaced the widening plate out 20mm from the base plate, and applied some foam and tried to shape it towards the door, not real happy with the result, need to change some things, maby start tapering in earlier.

 

 

the build is a long one but looks good... i cant wait to see where you go with it

 

Are you going to ACR next weekend?

 

Plutten: No i didn't go, i went back to school to get a proper education so i couldn't afford to go.
Progress will be slow, atleast when it comes to expensive things.

But i have an PFC with datalogit ready to go in the car(just need too learn enough about to make shure i can get it drivable in a weekend).

I have all the parts for the semi pp shortblock, so it will be buildt this winter.
Have vband clamps on their way so i can get started on a new stainless exhaust system.

+++

So i have enough stuff to work with, just need some more spare time than i have now.

 

Body repairs/modifcations have been put on hold since the engine now is mixing the antifreeze with it's oil. So getting the new engine up and running is priority nr 1.

Assembled the rotors this weekend, and i plan on building the shortblock next weekend.

After that i "just" need to make a new intake manifold from scratch for my itb's and modify the exhaust system to better suit the ported engine.

 

Almost done with the shortblock.

 

Nice build! The over fenders are pretty impressive.

 

Thanks, i have some neve pictures of the over fenders in wich they look a little better, but still it's the details and getting everything lined up properly that is going to take a lot of time. So it's postponed until i get done with the engine and drivetrain.

 

Need to get my new flywheel from the states before i can set the endfloat and finish the shortblock. In the mean time i will get started on intake manifold and exhaust.

 

Took a pressure test of the coolant system, and turned out there was a leak, the front iron must have had a weakness in the coolant seal groove, cause it had broken loose while assembling the engine, very glad i found that now and not with the engine running.

So new Front iron on the way from UK.

While i wait i have taken care of some other small stuff.

Pfc is installed and the stock fc engine idles and drives ok with the base map, decided to test it on a engine and sensors i know work, so i can be shure that any problems with the semi pp engine, won't be related to the PFC hardware.

Built new exhaust from the header and back, used 2,25" SS pipe and v-bands, so it will be easy to take it down and modify later if nececary.

Have removed the old speaker shelf since i wasn't realy happy with how it looked, installed a new sub, should take about 10min to change out the sub for the rear tower strut.






Could clean up the wiring, but it's not realy a priority.




Changed to my spare door, and went from a lexan to glass window(finally).



Hmm, i think the old window might be beyond repair...


That was easy, no special tools needed


Removed the unececary wiring from the car, only thing going out to the door is power window/mirror.


Better than before, but i am realy looking forward to getting to the point where i can get it back to one color.

 

great build

 

Thanks, i just hope i don't break it again this summer.

 

So got the new iron, ported it and assembled the engine with the semi pp housing, and the coolant system did not hold pressure. So i dissassembled it and found out that both the semi pp housings had leaks thru the filler used around the p ports, so i will nee to repair those before they can be used.

I decided to use the old T2 housings and just get the engine buildt and in the car, and then i can add the Semi pp housings on the next rebuild instead.
Assembled the engine with the stock housings and the cooling system held pressure.
Shortblock nearly done:


Started on the ITB setup, made a flange from 12mm mild steel. Still needs some more work to the ports and cleaning up around the flange, but that can be done after the runners are made and welded on.

 

 

Getting closer.
