I have been holding off starting a project thread until it started moving, I have just been collecting and cleaning the parts i needed over the past few months. Its a continuation from my old white 5 thread https://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=720
The orange shell used to be a EP Motorsport drag car and ran a 12.9 at the pod and seems to be well know across the internet. The shell was bought from ian at EP by the last owner & was used to reshell a Ph1 Rally car fitted with a 1000cc to compete in Formula 1000 events. It competed in 2 events and was put up for sale on ebay
I already had a Williams engine and all the conversion bits that i was going to put in my White 5... So after some cleaning and painting it should be just a case of bolting it all together... famous last words lol
Another twist to the project after a 12 hour round trip to bristol.... Alpha Weber ITB's from an ex K-tec demo car... I got them for a good price.. and I was praying no one beat me to the deal lol
Car ready for the conversion
First job was to fit Lighterned and balanced flywheel, Clutch and Gearbox... I had tryed fitting the flywheel on saturday but one of the bolts sheered off (I won't be using the impact gun in future to torque them up lol).. I managed to get it out and all went together as planned today... sorry no pics
Second Job was to bolt the gearbox to the engine and mount them both on the subframe with uprated GT Turbo mounts.. I also fitted both manifolds
Third job was to fit the Renault cambelt kit
Just need to get a few mates around and lift the car onto the subframe... then i can really start getting stuck in.
