CroftCraig Posted December 19, 2018 Author Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Hmmmm almost managed! Struggling to get them in chronological order!! So, starting at the bottom is how I bought it, as a rolling chassis. Previously had a 5.6l V8 in it. Its a 2008 kit, was built by the previous owner to ~95% complete, but never finished and put into storage. I then bought it and put it in storage Edited December 19, 2018 by CroftCraig 3 Quote
CroftCraig Posted December 19, 2018 Author Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Then a few months ago I decided to finally "crack on". So I've stripped it down to bare chassis, painted, and in the process of building back up. Ive just made the side panels, going to fit them tomorrow. PTFE lined braided brake lines with crimped fittings throughout. Also in the process of making the dash panel and making a new full loom - should have that finished by next week.

CroftCraig Posted December 19, 2018 Author Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Waiting for a hydraulic release bearing to arrive so I can start building up the engine & transmission, then make mounts and plumb it all in! Edited December 19, 2018 by CroftCraig 1 Quote
CroftCraig Posted December 19, 2018 Author Posted December 19, 2018 Basic spec: Chassis - Dax Rush, wide + side pods for additional stiffness. Additional Caged front hoop & bars Suspension - Gaz units & aluminium front hubs. Rear DeDion Dax set-up Brakes - Front: 285mm discs & wilwood billet 4pot calipers. Rear: RS500 Cosworth discs and calipers Wheels - Compomotive MO 17" - Standard for a Dax I guess, but planning to ditch these for 15's or even 13's (would mean changing front discs & caliper position though I guess) Engine - Ford 1.6 Ecoboost, standard hardware + Jenvey intake. ~230Bhp. Currently shopping for a dry-sump system. Plan is to change turbo and aim for ~300-350Bhp once vehicle is fully set up and shook-down and road registered. SCS Delta GDI4 PCM & Race Technology Dash2 Pro & bits and bobs for data logging. Transmission - Quaife 60G sequential, Geartronics position indicator. TTV ultra lightweight flyweel + 184mm single plate clutch. RS500 Cosworth Quaife LSD & driveshafts Aim is for a competitive Sprint/Hill-Climb vehicle, which is road registered for the odd blast over the Black Mountains 2 Quote
