Ripper:
I'll use modified stock fenders, not going to be M3 or "avesta" style.. You'll see then.

I'm a little bit excited because I should get this car on track next year!! Lots of work to be done, lots of hours at the garage..

I installed top mounts to the chassis right after christmas:


After that I started to build the rear axle, parts fitted to the jig:

Things seems to fit, but it's a little tight there:

Today I continued with the differential cradle, 90% done:

Sjukt grymt!

Tackar!

Differential/carrier mountings done, I'll put a 25mm aluminium spacer/bushing between chassis and carrier:

Jig for the rear trailing arm for welding camber and toe adjustment parts:



I should also get these from machining, carrier big ends:

Time for a sunday update

A few new ideas which I decided to fulfil:


Earlier I though to arrange parts this way, but seems there's no enough room for the radiator:

So I started to create mounts for the front end parts:


Mounting points:

Hood with a figure to show where radiator hot air comes out:

Pipes welded together:

I also welded a sidemount turbo manifold and V-band outlet for my friend's Mazda Miata:

Lite har hänt igen...

I got this order from my friend a while ago, including rear trailing arm adjusting parts, rear axle carrier big ends and rear upper spring plates. 25 row oil cooler beneath:


Coilover assembly:

This weekend I built rear trailing arms ready, first I fitted parts to the jig, then made sure it sits in the rear axle carrier:


Welding:

Next thing is to modify mounting points of the carrier, including roll center correction etc..

Shitt va grymt!! Härligt att det även levererar grymma projekt härifrån!

Extremt fint metall arbete! Lycka till i fortsättningen! Hoppas du hinner få den klar!


MVH. Mattias

Tack så mkt! Hoppas jag får den klar till 2015 säsongen


Recently I modified the axle carrier mounting points to meet the modified trailing arms:


Carrier is now almost finished, only a pair of extra fastening to the chassis needed..

Today I played a little with TIG AC mode, changed the oil filler cap location:

It's a strange alloy or maybe it has sucked oil in itself by time, here's another try with pure alu plate:

Few hours spent with the oil pan, it has approx. 8litres of oil capasity.

It's been a busy summer and no time with the car, but now we've got lot's of motivation to continue I did some planning for the next summer and decided to use STD M30 bottom end with low boost. Found a cheap one, cylinder head still missing..


We also did some research of blow-off valves or dump valves and noticed cheap ones had serious quality problems and those well known brands cost a million.
I spent days modelling our own product which finally became even lighter and more compact compared to similar valve! And the price tag should be no problem for anyone looking for a dump valve
Yesterday we started machining the first prototypes (raw version) for testing, let us know what do you think!

Awesome Project, will defently be following here for updates

Thanks volvobrage!

Today I had a feeling, that I must continue with the project..
I dig the front piece from the garage and finished mountings for the oil cooler and radiator. Bottom of the radiator will lay on two rubber pads.


Welded upper mounts:


Earlier I started to fit the brake calipers, finally made them fit "deep" enough, needed some more cutting of the king-pins.. 17in wheels will be no problem I think RF centres needed a 20mm spacer:

Fint projekt, du är inte rädd för att kylaren/oljekylarn blir för låg? Som det ser ut kommer det vara 2cm från marken =)

Tack!
Dom är några centimeter högre än framvagnsbalk eller stötfångare, så är det ingen problem

Rear brakes only need adapter plates to fit, measured all critical dimensions today. RF wheel centre might fit even without spacer:


Adapter will be made of aluminium and it has threaded holes:


We also tried DIY anodizing in our dump valve:

Here's a picture of front king pin modifications:


Yesterday I got my rear brake adapters and I anodized them dark grey:


I'm planning to buy Ferodo DS2500 brake pads, haven't heard any good about EBC (though I have a set of greenstuff in my bicycle ).. Any other suggestions about pads?

Finally after anodizing our dump valve got laser engraved texts in it's cap:

we used ferrodo pads on our rallycar.. they did not fix 2 competitions.. then we bought carbotech xp10 and we got perfect brakes and we used them atleast 10 competitions..
