you're quite at one with the engine... do you have any plans for firewall or anything or do you just drive around with the blower on for fresh air :)

I bet the power to weight is good tho' :D

I've got a bit of metal between the back seats and the engine on a frame, it's made out of steel but I think I'll be changing it to aluminum at some point, and then a sheet of 4mm polycarbinate for the upper half so you can still see the engine in your rear view.. it was mainly incase of fluids suddenly erupting, which I experienced when a top hose blew.. I was kind of glad I had the polycarb in place when that happened :) it went everywhere except down my neck !!

This year I'll be building an aluminum frame and sheeting a bit like the rally turbo 2's over the engine in an attempt to cut down on the fumes :)

he's a pic whilst I was making it.. most of it is removable with a few bolts for ease of access to the engine

A lot of work gone into that, looks awesome :agree:

Would not want to get tangled in them harnesses in the 2nd pic :laugh:

I know its limited for space, but securing the harnesses there will be as helpful as using string if it gets rear-ended.

eddie

10-03-2009, 10:20

i havnt fought where to put the harness yet lol

Andy, you could seal the bulkhead up gas tight to kill the fumes and noise, even with a tight fitting cover over my old rear engine you still got sick of the fumes after a couple hours driving.

Have a look at andy's clio conversion, he's welded a bulkhead in tight, sealed it up and uses a glass window in a rubber, it's real smart :cool:

I have to admit that looks real neat! ..I was hoping get a bit of storage over the engine for a few road trips.. although that method looks quite lightweight and secure - I notice he hasn't got a roll cage to navigate.. I'll have to get the expanding foam out ..:laugh:

c7borg

10-03-2009, 12:01

i havnt fought where to put the harness yet lol

you see that bar in front of the roll cage that's where mine are.. the angle is a little tight but I think it's safe

Mr Blocky certainly doesn't do things by halves!!! If it makes anywhere near the power of Mikes corrado it will be very interesting indeed!!
