nice project mate! going to be great when it's done!!

[DugganC17]

i ave seen the spares carried in the back seat and was accesed by a removable rear screen and i think there was one similar at bingly this year

 

just an idea for you and they the had the boot with tools to get the heavier tyres in the centre toimprove cornering and COG

[RODZMINI71]

Thanks for your comments and ideas Guy's. I think i'll stick with Danny's idea (Ta Dan) ;)

 

Any thoughts or ideas on which Carb to fit Chaps ? We might be on a bit of a roll here !!!

[RODZMINI71]

OH ! By the way, I would like to bring the gear remote inside the car.Is it just a simple case of just cutting a hole and fitting a suitable gaiter

[danny1]

No worries, look forward to seeing this complete
It's come on so far so quick gonna be a head turner for sure

What tyres are you intending to run??

 

12" gravel tyres take up loads of room in the boot...just double check you'll be able to mount the fuel pumps where you want them.

 

Also, if you are stuck for room for the fuel pumps....might be worth swapping them for the smaller square facet ones as SU's only need 3 psi fuel pressure.  Not sure what the weber will want though.

 

And from a safety point of view (boring i know) you might be better mounting the pumps well out of the way underneath the boot floor.  You don't want to knock them if you are rushing to change the spare etc etc.

 

Just a thought and all looking good.

 

Sorry to hear of the man flu.....surprised you've got enough strength to type!!!

Hi Dave ;) Every avenue seems to point to The Maxsport RB1's pal. I know you haven't had much luck in there reliability but what other option do i have ??? 12" 70 145 ????  

 

I'd sooner have the pumps where i can access them. Really don't like the idea of having them on the subframe, i wouldn't mind so much if it was going to be a full on Track Car but as i will be doing a little Stage Rallying/Road Rallying with it i wan't as many Electrical/Mechanical item's in board and out of the ******* as possible ;)

Please don't say  "change to 10" "  ;)

True...but a good skid underneath and they'll be safe and sound.  One thing that would be worth doing (a bit late now though as your boot is painted) is to fit a kind of battery box type recess in the boot floor under the petrol tank....getting the pumps well down and out of the way, but out of the crud....an idea i may use myself.

 

You have a few options for 12" tyres......Maxsport RB1's (cheap and easy to get hold of but have suspect reliability in my experience), or Black Rocket tyre Co.'s rally tyre (Expensive and unknown quality...and in Finland!!!!), or Kingpin do a 12" 'rally' tyre...but they don't fit!! 

 

Another option would be to go with winter tyres...Yoko do a new one which looks good...but I've never tried them so can't comment.

 

10" you are no better off.....Maxsports or Black Rocket Tyre Co. ........Colway are no more. 

[RODZMINI71]

Oh Dave ! But look how good it looks underneath 

 

 

You have a really good idea but i must draw the line somewhere ! Ha Ha !

 

I think dropping a Battery Box under the tank would be a awesome idea ;)

[rally1380]

Looking gooooooood!!!

 

You do realise all that shiney underside will be covered in all sorts of cack after your first event!!!!  I jet washed under mine a few weeks back and couldn't believe the pile of soil, stones, cow muck, small aminals that had stuck under the car and then piled up on the drive!!!!!

 

The use of a 2 post hydraulic ramp is cheating by the way!!!

[RODZMINI71]

Iv painted the entire car with two pack epoxy primer so should take a bit of Hammer.

 

And as for washing it, A Telehandler will be the only lifting equipment ill get my hands on but will still do the job ;)

[Artful Dodger]

id fit that delorto carb it it was me:)  just prefer twin choke carbs:P
