Better than an amateur lol

Mate you certainly have some serious fab skills, coming along awesome. And yep its certainly going to have a firm grip on the track!!

Thanks all, yes tbh at least in my eyes they have handled this terribly and look childish with some of the comments they have made and the personal insults.  But at least I did get a chuckle when I saw they said I made “amateur mistakes” building the engine.  Yes, I did, I happily admit that.  It was because I am an amateur!! But in my def…[Read more]

Agree with this, sweet as

Thanks all, at least theres a lot of activity on some other very cool builds on here.

Thanks guys. Yea that was pretty much dyno time . TheiT dyno went down for 2 1/2 days with a sheared water pump through the session . No mention of that from them. No apologies for the delay, nothing.  Just so over it right now. Sort of feel angry at myself feeling like that but also just can’t bring myself to touch it.

Hi all, well those that have been following my build, know I am passionate about my car, and also that I try to be very open and honest about the whole build process.  So people have been asking for updates.  The fact is the engine is just literally sitting on the shed floor right now covered in a blanket as I really am not feeling the passion f…[Read more]

Thats a bonus.

Looks very open like that, maybe easier to work with?  Its similar to how the VE front is set up with the chassis rails?

Thanks very much, trying to find the motivation to put it back in.

Steering feel on mine is excellent, tbh I can’t really pick the difference between how it was before and after.   But bear in mind there quite a bit more weight over the front I would imagine compared to the little 5.0.  But very happy with it.

Very ingenious mate, nice work.

Already look nicer than the white whale

I reckon they will be the same pitch as the rear axle bolts.  Pity you arent in SA, I have some spare I would have donated.

Does the way the front diff works, means the engine sits where it sits in relation to the front axle centerline?  Is it possible to change the way that works so you can get a better choice in diff ratios?  or is that too hard?

You thinking whole new sub frame / cradles?

Congrats mate .what a weapon.
