looked awesome,but is very heavy on fuel:roflol:

do not turn left as you loose about a litre

 

[moranor@axis]

I dont see this lasting long maybe weld some plate to the sides to make it stronger... this will just bend and snap off the frame... its a good temporary job

 

[herr bmw]

tell me was this a straight forward engine swap?
all the mounting brackets lining up,etcas well as gearbox?

I hear you, Thinking of changing the whole cross member that comes with the two vertical plates std, but just needed to get it running so I can take it to the guy that rebuilt the motor and have it tuned (post run-in tune) and get some Dyno figures.

Also have to source that fuel leak, or rather DISASTER :argh:

have to aggree,must do this one again

 

[hennie]

just make a new bracket 6mm thick that you weld to the beam on top that one is too flimsy and will eat up the new mounting

@Andy1gp nice meeting you on Sunday hope you get that petrol leak sorted and mounts aswell. Did you find your way out of there ok. I had a e30 behind me when I went down the road so I followed Coisman, and after awhile I saw it was someone else.:sorry:

 

[Andy1GP]

No worries man, got home ok, after a couple of turns leaving my 'fuel mark' everywhere :roflol: Made it home with just over reserve :thumbdo: Really want to get the car fixed up so I can take it for re tune and finally get some figures :joy: Maybe, dare I even say an official drag :fencelook: Provided I have some slicks on the back :idea:

Cool let me know when and where I've got to see that thing go in anger

 

[Andy1GP]

Sure thing, probably only in the new year at this rate. Work is keeping me away from home for sooo long now However work is fun :joy:

I'll have to start looking out for slicks and drag events. Tarlton and ODI where else? bearing in mind closer to centurion the better...

 

[Henry330i]

Yip work has its pros and cons,

Agreed on the places is the old wesbank race way still going.

You're going to need me just to follow with extra fuel:roflol:

 

[Andy1GP]

I might need a convoy with fuel :roflol:
