Well, after a bit of a hiatus getting distracted with other projects, i thought i'd try and get my little 'bitza finished. It's beeen sat in the corner of the garage being ignored for about 14months, so it was off with the covers and out into the sun today:









There are a few little jobs to do, and it needs a bit of mapping with the new knock control ecu, but i can feel a track day beckoning! driving

Max i think you need to post some pics of the engine bay and tell people about some of the 'features' of the car.

Don't think some people quite understand whats gone into this cars. smile

Please tell me you're going to MOT this and drive it on the road as well!

Looks like a monumental quantity of work, top effort!

At the moment i can't decide if i'm going to MOT it. It was originally going to be a tarmac rally car (before the MSA banned such things for being too much fun........) so can be made road legal pretty easily (just needs a mech handbrake adding to comply). But, it's a right PITA to drive at low speed, with an ultra low intertia engine, carbon/carbon triple plate clutch, sequential dog box and 1st good for 60mpg, getting into going, and driving at low speeds is really very tricky indeed!


Spec wise, it's a smidge over 940kg as it sits, with a fairly trick 2l turbo engine, mounted longitudinally upfront (well, mid front really) driving back through an engine speed carbon prop to a quaiffe 6spd seq dogbox mounted under the rear floor, and finally into a BMW M diff. Suspension is WRC uprights / proflex all round, brakes are 380mm front 6 pots, and 340mm rear 4 pots. All the body work is carbon or kelvar, with custom wide arches, perspex windows, and a pretty comprehensive multipoint cage.

I'm guessing the laptop isn't for periodical facebook checks?

correct, i'm more of a Twitter man tbh......... ;-)


There are a lot of custom electronics controlling systems on the car, which take a bit of setting up! The main engine controller is a Motec unit, and it runs my own custom systems driving:

Electronically actuated port throttle system,
High pressure (6-9bar) returnless pressure controlled fuel delivery system,
Pneumatic gear shift system for the transmission (inc flatupshift/downshiftrevmatching)
Cylinder specific, adaptive knock sensing controller,
Multirunner Crank Angle PLL'd manifold pressure sensor system
Cooling FAN speed control module for rad / IC fans
Various CAN devices for intermodule coms and I/O driving
Manifold Water injection and I/C water spray controller
CAN controller for the EHPAS system, with steering angular rate / roadspeed dependent calibration
