Whats the motivation behind a possible sale then? Not quick enough? lol .. Dare I say it, 340bhp isn't enough ooophhh for me anymore either ;-) I've still not got around to wiring up the boost controller or fuel trim - does it work well? Ben

ummm... :roll: ..... nope :lol:

Looking good. Do you know the reason for the piston(s) failing? Keep the pics coming!

Good work chap.. you've done that well! Did you get any pics while installing the floor pan? Ben

Totally possible chap.... £360 to the door from the US for the tube bender with 1.1/2" (38mm) die set - http://www.jd2.com

Quick rollcage teaser.... ;-)

yeah yeah.. get on and finish it!

Thats on pause mate while I attempt the cage. Update soon.

I do and when I don't need it I'll let you know and I broke the rear engine mount bracket while having some fun on some back lanes in Norfolk.. was a bit bouncy! Anyway.. Yes the secrets out.. thanks John! ;-) Rollcage production line is up and running!:

Haven't started yet. I've now got all the material and tools to do the job. Just need to fix the pipe bender to the garage floor. I was going to use copper pipe to make rough templates but not sure that will be good enough? I'll see how I get on!

Its a rear engine mount bracket. It bolts to the back of the engine block. And I'm sure your not an amateur.. Well now you mention it i did manage to remove all 4 wheels, clean them and re install them within the hour..... :) :lol:

Its a rear engine mount bracket. It bolts to the back of the engine block. And I'm sure your not an amareur.. Its funny you should mention it ;-) - A new one is already being made, but using 10mm steel this time around. Think it's a rear engine mount? yep!

Fortunatly there was no real damage done to the engine so I'm going to make a seriously strong steel version so that it doesn't happen again! :bad-words:

It could be done in a month if you got cracking I reckon. Boot floorpan would take a long weekend solid then the rest of it is just buying parts and bolting them up to a certain extent. You'll need to move the gearbox mount back and then move the whole end forward by 10mm (to clear rear engine mount with the big TT CV). You'll need to shorten the front section of the rallye prop by 30mm if I remember correctly and change the end to the TT item (reco prop in luton do this for around 120 quid). Custom driveshafts will take a good 2-3 weeks to be made. Weld up the rear subframe to accept the haldex diff and make or buy a controller. Thats about it really. Sounds easier said than done but its not rocket science ;-) B

Hey Bill, There isn't a big part to the job really.. I think the issue is the cost.. custome driveshafts, controller, haldex parts, modding rear syncro sub frame etc etc etc.. it all adds up. You can do the 4wd conversion in so many ways but the most factory way is definatly to use a rallye/syncro floor pan, tank etc Give me a shout if you want any advice or help :) Ben

:salute:

Not saying yet ;-)

hahahaha.. I promise I haven't touched it for 2 weeks! But I'm off home to the folks for a 2 week break from work and I'm taking the C with me - so I'm hoping to get some stuff done!

Hey bud.. I've been really busy at work so I haven't really had any time to spend on the car. No more has happened to the dash since E38.. I need to get going again. However I might have some updates on something different next week ;-) Watch this space.. 8)

Come on Coxy.. lets see some progress pics ! :)

Looks phat Bill! When you guys coming down to no rice again? Actually its this Wed I think? Be great to see the C!

Had to return the SL today :( Could have got used to owning one of those.. ;-) Phil, I had the SL for a couple of days for work - we had a stand at wings and wheels today. Ben

Dude you'll get it finished soon :) Don't rush it.. 8) Ben

Man that looks awesome. A mate of mine had a G6016v in his Mk2 golf. It only ran on a SNS 8v G60 chip and was pushing the 8v injectors too 100% but it was pretty damn quick and very torquey... would say 300+bhp is easily possible with a good re-map :) Ben

looks cool man... :)
