Nice!! :D

Do you maybe have some pics of the fitted dash and of the removable rear-valance??

Grt Wiebrand

Hi, yes will get these, i had taken several pics but some seem to be bad focus so will try again.

more pics
 

Air box and plentum boxes are alloy, engine lid should seal around panel filter. Hey it's not carbon fibre but didnt cost me much either, just a dam lot of work. Good to be different eh?
Brent.

this car is so nice!

Clean and.. I just love it :)

Great work on the panelfilter!

Thanks, all it needs now is to have some air finaly sucked through it.

Hi

I’m blown away, that is a work of art.

I noticed that your running your oil coolers in series, feeding from one into the other, I wonder if it would be better to run them in parallel, teeing the line before and after the coolers, that way cooled oil from the 1st cooler would not become sluggish when passing through the 2nd cooler. Maybe it would not make a difference.

Steve

Hi Steve, thanks for your kind coments, yep might be something to think about. I have a friend who runs two of the same here in his big type 4, he has had no problems so far so had no reason to change the route. The joiner between them is fairly big. Just bleed the brakes yestersday so things are warming up already. little bit of wireing left then will be close to giving it a kick in the pants! Brent. [thought best to have brakes first]

brent,

excellent job. very impressed with your car. permission to pull some of your pics over into the GermanLook.com gallery for others to gawk at?

pictures
 

Hi there, thanks for your kind words. Yes that would be fine, I will also attach another picture when guards are on which should be soon...would be great to see this in a prime spot Zen!
Regards Brent.

Hi Brent,
Did you ever get access to take pics of the trailing arms with new coil-over mount?
Cheers, Rich

Yes, I have some older photos on a cd with a good pic, need to reduce the file size so will sort this out tomorrow from work. you have been patient too.
Brent.

Much appreciated :)

Rich

More pictures
 

Here are some pics of the rear end with the modifiied rear arms re new shock mount. Brent.

thanks Brent, looks good! What size spring is that?
Rich

Hi, its 0700.250.0400 and 85mm OD. I would say they are too light but with the shock wound up she is stiff so will run the car and see from here. should be able to work out the ideal rate once on the road/track. I will let you know what I end up with. I think would be bad to have a stiff spring that overpowers the shock. These Ebach springs are fairly cheap and easy to replace. Hope the picture helps your plan of attack? Brent.

Yes, it gives me a better idea of space available. I'm using a G50 pushed forwards so I will have to be very careful with axle to damper clearance. I think I'll have to mock up the trans first to see how much space I have left.

Spring rates will have to wait, it will be in a 1303 cabrio with G50 and WRX engine so that's a new combination as far as I am aware!

Rich

have a look at the j-sport car.the shocks are mounted on top of the arm with a new mount fabricated and tied into the rear roll cage.
this is the way i'm going as the rules say i can run a min of 40mm ground clearance and i want that to be the flat under try and not suspension.
cheers rob

Very,VERY,VERY nice car.....i am in love....

Wow, thats a different configureation. Would like to see some pics of this too?
Brent

Thanks for that, keep watch as things are moving fairly fast. I just want to hear the engine fire and feel the cluch start to grab. Getting that feeling.
Brent

Loads of pics of the build up on my website of this car and my previous projects...

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't notice that when I last looked through their pics! I'll have to think more about how I am going to rebuild the rear end...

Rich

Hi there, well i think you have very similar taste to me by looking at your car. I some how missed your picture so sorry but i would be keen if you kept me in thje loop on yours too. If you have any more pics of the pan, brakes, wheels, engine would be great to see. Thanks.

Hi Brent

You don't have to appologize..I fully understand. :D

Here's an link to an topic of my little car
http://www.germanlook.com/Forums/sho...light=racelook

My engine wouldn't be so special.. I just don't have the money for it now. I first want to ride with it :D :eek: :D

Keep up the good work Brent.

Love your car!!!

Wiebrand

Hi Wiebrand, o yes i have seen these pictures. I also understand how much work is gone on too. I was going to run a larger fuel line through the pan but decided it was easyer to run it throught the car. Turned out costing an arm and a leg and ended up being alot of work anyway. Yes you may not have the big engine but yours will be reliable. If mine decidied to let go it would get parked for quite a while. I think there is around 26k in the engine and box in parts. God what possesed me to take on such a challanged. All i can say is i truely have a patient wife and son who have alowed me the fredom of spending countless hours often till 1 am in the morning in the shed. It would be interesting to hear how others manage too. Some have bulit these amasing cars in 1-2 yrs. How? Single? No kids? or maybe they paid someone to do it? Brent.

Guards in place.
 

New picture of guards in place. They are not the best pictures so will take few more. Just to fill you in, the front guards have been sectioned 50mm and the rear have been sectioned 80 mm. They are all steel. Have also rolled the rim round a 5mm steel wire to retain the shape and strenght. Yes a little more weight but hey, nice not too be glass either. I dont plan on bending one but have concidered making moulds later date. Hope you like .Brent.

Very,Very nice!!! I wanne see more pictures!!!! :trophy:

JUST LIKE SEX!!! ;)

Keep us posted!!!

Wiebrand

Quoted for truth. Is there such a thing as being in love with a car? lol...

Thanks, they will be coming sir.Brent.

Nice 1303 Race Bug
 

:) Hi Brent,


You are very professional. Real craftmanship work done. Your 1303 looks beautiful. Hope to see it and hear the engine sound. Will like to see somemore pics once you installed the four guards. May I know your wheel pattern, is it still 4x130 and how much for the set of NZ made wheels?

Cheers
1303 fan from Rotorua.

Man, that car is beautiful.

Hi sorry for slow reply, yes car is basicaly finished...had it's first run this weekend and went well. I will try get some more pictures v-soon thanks.

Hi there, well i have used a commodore stud pattern, this was to give me lots of wheel options,15" -18" .... Porsche are expensive and few options. The wheels would be camparable to Simmons so probably 3-4k set plus tyres. I loved the old shell sport series in 70's so car was influenced by this a little. Thanks for your kind coments too. More pictures will come.

Thank you sir. keep an eye out for more pics and info coming. Brent.

Latest pictures and driving experiance.
 

Hi, well here are a few long awaited pitures for you all to mull over. I must say im delighted with the outcome too. You can see the finished guards which to refresh you the rear have been widend 80mm and the front 50mm. They are all steel too [without the ugly flare] so one day when can aford may take glass moulds..let me know if anyone interested in a set? the more sets the better the price. I still have the glass dash which fits supperb, may consider selling these too? RHD for those in Europe. Would rather get order for 5-10 sets first if posible. All windows are lexan apart from front screen which is new green tinted laminated screen. I have now taken this car around track here in NZ, and went v-well for first day out, remember every nut bolt has been changed among many modifications so pretty happy. ps num plate position only temp to take around bloc.. Any feed back welcome. Brent.

looking very cool,well done on a exerlent build.know you can have the fun with it :D
cheers rob

Thanks will add more as testing progresses. brent.

lookin forward to seeing it at the taranaki nationals mate.

:cool:

Very, VERY hot! Now how about some video? Of course the smoky burnout ones always do something for me....

Jason

Exelent.... i love the dash
