tripple rotor FD project...progress report

[Brett]

Looking outstanding mate!  Did you change the exhaust in the end? I remember a few months back there was some doubt over the efficiency of the custom job that was on there? (Having said that, with the amount of grunt thats gonna put out I doubt it would matter!)

[chrisBoid]

Wow, a lot of time and effort has gone into that and I sure appreciate it  Great eye candy and I can\'t wait to see/hear it running.

[Oedipus Rex]

mate please have it running for RSII. I\'m sure everyone on here is desperate to see it running, I know I am.

Massive respect to your dedication and skill. Seriously impressed mate.

(I take it thats dean shepards number then)

yep,  i\'ve known the shepherds (all of them) for many years.  We have a little banter about how good cossie\'s are and how sh*t rx7s are until my FD was doing 12.5 1/4s, which is as good as their 4wd cossies,  although they are still in the lead as their 4*4 escort Van (cosworth) has done a 11.8 run with nos now.

Its a target...........................

That van is v.fast and set some good times, good luck, but with time should have them.

I cant take the credit for this beast,  its my cousins car that we have both worked on,  he is not a computer type person but give a piece of metal and he can do anything.

All the fabrication was done in his workshop.   I am the engine builder and he is the parts fabricator............... and yes we both have understanding wives but the day job gets in the way, other wise the car would have been finished a long time ago.


Here is mine, waiting for its little microtec,  heavily ported and rebuilt amoung other things.

[antnicuk]

here is last years project,  great car,  hope she is still going strong

[Dan Norton]

wow. i never saw this when it was first posted. you got to let me come and have a look at this.

ill show you mine if you show me yours :rollin

[diabolical1]

this was a great buildup so far ... kudos to you!

i have 2 questions though:
1. did you keep the exhaust with those sharp bends in it?
2. are you planning to have the car weighed? i\'m just curious ...

[antnicuk]

I thought i would put a little update,    a lot has happened since the last updates, including several rebuilds and ditching the supercharger for the big turbo thats now fitted,

The oil system has been seriously upgraded as has the chargecooler cooling system.  

The car is now silver but was sprayed very badly indeed and may change colour again.   Its been  mapped to 7 psi and has just been put back together roughly today,  see pics,   its all very dirty and needs cleaning and polishing again but its just been put back in place to make sure everything fits, it will be pulled out again tomorrow and cleaned a little before we start running it in.

Also sorted all the bushes, braces, suspension and diff. A few custom body mods have also been done.

I will update once its been fully mapped.

Sorry for the poor pics, camera phone!
