Let's see it thenOriginally Posted by smithyr5gt
sounds good. im sure it will be great when finished.
a friend of mine has just finished his maxi build. 7 years. 7000 hours and 93 grand. body is exact rep as the original maxi but the engine is pushing 500+ hp. its a marvel just to look at let alone drive
ill see if he will let me take a picture next time im over lol there is a pic on fb somewhere as he took it to a Renault day or some show anyway.
Yea that'll be good, plus ask him to join the club if he fancies it
im not sure he isn't already on here, but i will find out. i hope to be seeing him again Monday.
Hey guys, bit of an update for you, it took a while to get here but the exhaust manifold has arrived which was a big deal because now the bulkhead and transmission tunnel can be fabricated.
It was made in the states by a company called JMF, and they have done a fantastic job and still comes with a lifetime garrenty
The transmission is mocked up for the fabrication of the tunnel to begin plus we tried the seating position, and lets just saysomeone ordered the incorrect size seats DOH!!!
My frame was a bit to big for these so i'll have to sort these out and order the bigger size
The inlet manifold is nearly finished just need to source the injectors and fuel rail so we can fix the fuel rail holders into position.
Here's a few other pictures i took of the engine mounts, and the engine sits nicely under the bonnet
So the next stage is to finally fix in the pedal's and seat and fabricate the bulkhead and transmission tunnel...... oh and order the correct size seatsits amazing how easy you gain weight as soon as you break the 30 barrier

Excellent thread this. Good work!
Top work, full commitment!
Cheers guys
This is going to be awesome once done,
Hi guys, turbo's been fitted up to shape the bulk head and see how it fits, its quite snug to be honest.
A new water housing has been fabricated and a remote thermostat housing has been sourced to make it more accessible for ease of servicing.
The turbo is a standard Evo X TD05 unit, which is sufficient enough for what i need it for The injectors and fuel rail are also en-route, so we can finish off the inlet manifold by welding in the fuel rail supports. I've used Injector Dynamics 1000cc units and an Aeromotive billet aluminium fuel rail, i'll get some pictures up when they arrive.
Cheers guys

Let's keep it amicable though fellas, they have their site, we have ours. At the end of the day we all like the same thing.
Looks like a nice build. Love the manifold, looks top quality! After reading the first part of the build I was hoping it to see an update at the end...doesn't look like it'll happen on here though, shame.
