Started stripping the old engine and box out tonight, time spent 1hr 45 mins and about 1/5th of the way to having it out.

impul split rims make ace stands btw

I think this car has seen some action judging by the stickers.

Thanks

where have you seen it before?

Squizz · 20-07-2007, 13:47

HAH! Is that Razza's car? he used to use it for sprints/hillclimbs.

He got the battery idea from us - My wife races in the MR2 Challenge and we prepare the car. They're great cars to work on compared to some.

Great project you've got going!

gtst lad · 20-07-2007, 18:46

I bought it off someone called Jim a few days ago but he'd only owned it for about 4-5 months.

They're ace little cars, very well made, not one bolt was seized they all undid and everything came apart like a 2 year old car

gtst lad · 22-07-2007, 15:17

new engine and box is back on its mounts and also invested in a hydro wand.

It's getting there slowly, can't wait to test it out

gtst lad · 24-07-2007, 20:58

Everythings all back in and wired up but am having abit of a mission to get it timed up, also have a coolant leak to sort.

also started on some of the more fun bits whilst head scratching, weight loss...

mouwt · 25-07-2007, 00:01

Cool car mate,

Old Skool Cars · 25-07-2007, 00:08

frickin hell....to save some serious weight u cud cut that big dirthy tunnel up and chuck it away! not like u have a prop or anything! kool car though dude.

gtst lad · 25-07-2007, 07:14

Cheers

Carpe Diem · 25-07-2007, 07:19

Might have a problem with the fuel tank though... It sort of lives in the tunnel. Cool little car BTW.

hmmm tempting but tbh i'm going to try and stay quite quiet (stealth mode

)

small update.

After fannying about for days try to sort a timing and wiring issue, its alive..woooooohooooooooo, think my neighbours thought i was weird running round the garden like i'd just scored a winning goal

i have since the vid retarded the timing so it ticks over nicely etc now

Stavros · 31-07-2007, 12:07

400quid for a powerflow for a mid mounted (ie dead short) exhaust?!
They usually only charge about 200 for a normal front engined car?!

Cool project BTW, i like anything thats different

Dex · 31-07-2007, 12:08

nice

the video would have been such a laugh when you left it in a gear
