For those of you that are interested, I thought i'd give you an update on how my trackcar is coming on. In true 'Ed' style, its got a bit more than the last one, but at least will have the power to back it up

So far, all the suspension is sorted, fuel tank is on and windows are in (I really did just get a shell), new brake lines fitted, V6 brakes are on, diff is in the 6 speed box. Im fitting the clutch next week and then attaching the box to the engine ready to be located in the shell. Once I get back from a stag do in bulgaria this week the engine and box will be dropped in and then the real fun can begin.

All that I actually need to buy for it now is an exhaust and an Apexi boost controller for it. Everything else (bar a few hoses) is sat somewhere in the garage.....

Excuse the links, cant get my photobucket account to work for some reason

So, let me introduce you to my l'il f'kin friend

Chavtastic

Wide arches front and back

300 reasons to like this engine

fronts

rears

Polybushed

Powerflex

Had to get 17" wheels due to the arches

but they are nice

So we're looking at ~300bhp & 300lb/ft in ~870kgs

I dont think it'll be that bad...diff + 17" + R888s + proper suspension should allieviate alot of it. Obviously booting it out of a 2nd gear corner wont be sensible, but at least with the boost controller I have 3 settings of power dependant on the circuit and weather conditions. My mate has one of these engines in a Corsa and has had ir GPSed at 162mph Cant wait to take it the 'Ring

You don't get the torquesteer so much from corsas though - must be better geometry. Guess its all seamwelded etc etc?

Nothing to see here

Corsa's have a wider track than the Nova's, but then this is wider again (doesnt yet fit on the trailer - nothing my mates plasma welder wont fix ) and a longer wheelbase. Yes the shell is all sorted for that. Used to have an XE on Carbs that the guy did tarmac rallying in, its in cracking condition for a '92 shell. Only 2 small rust patches that are easily sorted, plus it will always be dry stored

Coming along nicely mate

is it easier to put a c20let in rather than a z20let?

And how's this Old school motor coming on then?
