AdamR28 Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Haha, yeah it is a lot lighter than expected. Technically it still has an MOT, so if I put the lights and horn back on... How're you getting on with the Duratec dude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a torquey motor, it just pulls in every gear! I actually took it for a quick spin one lunch time this week - probably the first time in over a month thanks to the shocking weather we've had. It put a big smile on my face again 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 That looks great fun, Ads! Are you planning on refitting much in the way of bodywork (for aero, rather than roadworthiness) or just enough to make it slippery and full-munter? Some simple lightweight panels just to redirect flow smoothly around the otherwise messy regions seems sensible? @Wrayvon, glad to hear you're enjoying things too man! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 5 hours ago, Wrayvon said: This thread needs more pics It does, but yours isn't showing (at least for me) Here are a couple of mine to help things along. After accidentally buying a TT about a month ago and removing the engine from it, I finally dropped my engine into a car after it sat gathering muchos muchos dust in the garage for a year! Bit of faffing about with gearboxes as I was originally going to put it in the Leon (2wd) and had the box (complete with LSD etc) all mounted up, but now going to give this faux-wheel-drive lark a try, so off with that, standard 4wd box on in its place. It'll probably eat itself, but I'll replace with another stock one if/when it does since they're cheap and then start to look at options. DSG is almost appealing... Added some extra heat shielding to the lines/bulkhead since there'll now be a bigger turbo and exhaust closer to it all. Not a big fan of the blingy gold but it was knocking about so it went on. Not fully wired/plumbed in yet, and some fab work to do yet (downpipe mainly, nothing huge) but it's progress so I'll take it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 Just thinking in terms of water clearance they would tend to be run the way the front left is on. Granted they aren't symmetric about the centreline but in the wet you'd think they're designed to work one way. In other news: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you planning on refitting much in the way of bodywork (for aero, rather than roadworthiness) or just enough to make it slippery and full-munter? Some simple lightweight panels just to redirect flow smoothly around the otherwise messy regions seems sensible? I wanted to leave it body-less, but then checked some more TDO's T&Cs more carefully and I think it'll be borderline, and not worth the hassle. So the regular bodywork is back on and I've spent the last few days in a YouTube 'race car aerodynamics' black hole, mostly in the hands of Kyle.Engineers, who used to be at Merc F1 apparently: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh3tzzP6n5b1EWcMUpiEhXg. Aero is something I've never really bothered with before so it's nice to learn something new! I figure even though the car will be heavier, it will still be ugly as hell and overall faster than no bodywork. How much left to do on the TT Luke? What sort of spec is that engine that's going in? Looks like it'll be fun for some road blasting! Good call on the tyres Sam, far too many people stick 888s or similar on kit cars for the road, then wonder why their cars are scary in the cold and damp And because this thread still needs things to look at (this is obviously pre bodywork fitting)... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
