My new alloy tank

My old shell all stripped.

I'm really struggling with the new forum, can't work out how to space out pictures and stuff!

Minus clones!

Have you tried your coilovers into your rear arches yet? I'm going to need to modify mine!

Yeah I have fitted my rear coilovers but they didn't fit due to the wrong sized titanium rear arms which were swiftly sold. I still have to buy some rear arms i'm thinking specialist components which are lighter than the force racing ones.I know i have to move the top mounting holes outwards a little but i don't think i will need to modify my arches. Are you going to be SVAing yours? p.s I like your tank.

If you move the m

If you move the mounting holes out on the arch surely it will mess up the coilovers upward movement? I've drilled the holes in pretty much the correct place but the top of the coilover is to big to fit up to where it should. I will have to modify the inner arch to create more room. It's the next job I need to do.

Thanks I'm pretty pleased with it. Only thing that let's it down are the screws on the top have been almost rounded of which I was not to pleased about.

Yeah but it wouldn't be by that much and to be honest you can move the rear arms in and out via the setup you have. What make is your fuel cell?

[jonny f]

True. I don't want to make the back end any wider though. It shouldn't take much to mod it.

It's a demon motorsport one.

Have had to modify my seat a little as it was a bit to wide to fit where i wanted it to go!

How come you have so many intets / outlets on your tank?

[jonny f]

Thats how it came, I have just blanked the ones i don't need.

Also give's me more possibilties in the future if i run an elctric pump on a non a-series engine.

Not quite sure why you would need 6 outlets/returns though!


off topic but i messaged you about your CWP the 3.1 one, i don't need it know as i have sourced another. I presumed you no longer wanted it as i hadn't had a reply!

Whats with the pegs? Regards Blue

[jonny f]

Using them to hold the extra bit of green foam i have put in while the glue sets.

Had to put more foam in as the edge would be to sharp and rip the fabric without it.


I have made up some alloy spreader plates for my rear subframe now so that should be finished of this weekend, maybe with some wheels!
