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
no mate it really just going be a 1/4mile car lol hoping to go to the show on 29th may ope to be finished by then gon to have a big fire extguser n there lol wiv the fuel tank next to me ope see you all on the 29th
wat did you used to have andy
got on order
fibreglass bucket seat
front mont for the rear
boost hoses
need to order in the next week or 2
new green air filters
some shiny bits just to set it off
then the out side body just a genral tidy
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 !!Quote:

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

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

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:Quote:
