*** Update ***

Well, what a difference a week makes Big Grin

Been working a bit more on it this week and im sure the pictures will help to show that.

Monday and tuesday i spent the evening round my mates house machining the hubs to accept the new sexy callipers. Took ages as i didn't want to **** them up so spent a while machining a little and testing them, then a bit more and so on. Second calliper was a bit easier as it was then setup to machine the correct amount. Tomorrow i will be going into work to weld the holes up and redrill them in the correct position, then hopefully get them reskimmed during the week.

Here's how they currently look.........

While i was at my mates i remembered about a turbo that he has lying about in his workshop, was thinking about fitting it to the buggy but i think it may be a little small? What do you guys think? LOL

My nice HKS (fake) SSQV arrived on Tuesday as well, looks pretty good, has a few marks on it but will look good on the pipework. Already started filling down the adaptor to be welded to the pipework as i don't want to use a silicone adaptor.

Then spent my lunch breaks throughout the week machining the 1-2.5 inch adaptor from the solid piece of billet, took flippin ages as i could only work on it a little at a time but came out just perfect.

Just finished.........

and after a quick 5 minute polish...........

Looks 100 times better than some of the intercooler pipework i have seen on the market.

Then today i got up to TGT to spend the day doing a little bit and measuring up for more custom parts i will be making over the next few weeks. When i finally got round to getting out of bed and getting to the workshop i was greeted by this.............. Big Grin

HELL YES!!!!!! The engine is in!!!!! Im so happy its really starting to look like a buggy now, not just a pile of parts and some scafolding.

Then spent the whole day adding parts so that routing can be worked out. Inlet manifold will come back off later when the frame goes to paint so i can polish it up, and rocker cover is not on as its currently being polished. It looks so much better with a few parts added and that inlet manfold looks amazing on show at the rear of the buggy. Exhaust was just placed on the back but will be at a lower angle when its fixed in place.

starting to route the coolant pipes........

With fuel rail added.......

Going to spend next week making all the new parts that i have measured up for and i will update next weekend as i usually do. I have loads more material now so i can finish the fuel cell and it will be getting welded up next month. Also bracket for induction kit, exhaust and fuel pressure regulator.

comments welcome as always Big Grin
