Hei!
This is my racecar build wich i am working on.
Spec. Engine:
2l 9A bottom and head.
83,5 bore
Pauter rods
Ross pistons 8,5:1
Sputter bearings
Arp Studs
Shcrick oilpan
Ported head
Race valve springs and titan retainers
Autronic Sm4
Gt2871R turbo
Tial 38mm wastegate
Home made exhaust manifold
G60 transmission with peloquin limited slip diffrentsial
The car has bin totally stripped down and all paint removed before priming. Then i builted the rollcage before making of the chassis and engine mounts. Right now i am working on the wheel arches and front and rear bumper plugs for molding it in fiberglass.
I have most likely forgotten manythings about what I have done, as you might read/see my English isent the best in the World! But what can a norwegian do?

Re: (bikkjaa)

so when can i place my order for the front bumped rear bumper and the front fenders and rear panels, are you doing any thing with the side sills.. pls let me know. how much..
this is an awsome deal, love it keep me posted. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Update!
Have got the controlarms mountingbrackets on and it looks like it woul work pretty nice. This pics shows the angle of the controlarm when it sits on the ground at normal ridehigth, a bit better then before I would say

Then i started modifying the frame to make place for the driveshafts, and it need some "minor" modifing to work but i think i got it all sorted out for now, think this will make up for the loss of the org frame.

Definitely... I have a suggestion for you. You should look at using mk5 Bearing assemblies when you build out your hubs. They come as complete Hub/Bearing units that bolt onto the lower strut housing and are extremely beefy (also easy to switch if needed)... Just an idea... http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Re: (secondgen)

Don't know if you thought of this or not but did you make sure that your control arms are not going to hit the body when they are at their maximum compression?

^^^X2 and will there be enough room for suspension travel? I know your going to be running really stiff racing suspension but you never know....

I saw that too...but in the last pic it kinda looks like there is more than enough room. Im sure he has it sorted, probably just hard to tell from the pics.

You have a pic of what you mean, should i replace the whole hub or just the bearings to mk5? My english is a bit crap..

The control arms will not hit the body before the shocks has been compressed 4 cm wich I think is enough, with that much compression the floor nearly hits the road.

Re: (bikkjaa)

i have been following this thread since the beginning. you have progressed very very much and the work you do is amazing. i even see the people, who have no appreciation for absolutely anything, posting positive comments. that must say a lot.
there's one thing i've been wondering about for a while now. i can see that you are very skilled as far as fabrication goes. you seem to know what you're doing. but how about the aerodynamics? did you know exactly how to make the fenders for the best performance or did you simply do what you think will be good? in other words, what factors were involved while designing them? and will they be strong enough to hold the car down at 200+ km/h without breaking?
i am just wondering. my self, i have not a clue what is better and what is worse when it comes to such fabrication.

Heh, good question. I don't have any experience with aerodynamics from before, so I have read some articles about it. Then I just made them how I think will be good. There are a few factors in the aerodynamics, low and big front lip create downforse, same for rear wing, but this hould be placed at the same hight as the roof. I also will make a airchannel under the car running from front to back witch is very small in the front and expands towards the tail, this will make the airpressure under the car decrease and downforce created.
But then back to the fenders and so, they arent very aerodynamic, they will create some drag, wich is when the air gets turbulent after passing a wing. The form of the fenders is made to make downforce in the front and match the look of the car and what I think will be good. I either have the equippment or skill to make some advanced aerodynamic parts.

It is the whole hub and bearing in one ppart. I will see if I can find one to tale a picture of today.

Re: (bikkjaa)

living where your living, there probably aren't too many wind tunnels. you could however use baby powder to give you some measurements. what i mean is before you take it out on a test drive. sprinkle large amounts of powder over the car, run it for a test drive at race speed and see where there are streaks on the car and where the powder collects in bits. kind of ghetto but wind tunnels are expensive and i've seen it used before in home builds. it will at least give you a baseline. just a suggestion, and mount a camera so you can post vids of your first runs.
good luck and awesome build http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
