This will be one of the PH legends! Can't wait to see it finished, if such a statement can ever be true!

Why did you swap to LHD?

4 reasons:

1) try getting a RHD WRC rack!
2) LHD means the hot side (exh side) is on the passenger side (melt the passengers shoes not mine!)
3) the engine is canted over to the offside, putting the heavy turbo and manifold/exh down low, and raising up the light CF intake system, making room for the pedal box underneath, as engine is well back in the chassis
4) just about all the cars i drive at work are LHD, so i'm more comfortable sitting over there when going for it....

simple really! lol

I actually wasn't gonna read this when I saw the thread title, but....

That is unreal!! I'm guessing it's for rallycross? We currently have a rallycross mk 5 escort in at the minute, it's really just a WRC car with the restrictor removed but is neck-snappingly fast. This, however, is just something else..

Top work!

Hi,

Wow this is awesome !!!!!

I got the same engine.

I saw in an other forum that you are using heads studs for your engine on the Head and the Crankshaft. Also you are using some interessting parts.

So my question is:

would you please tell me the manufacturer and the part number of these things.

The inlet Manifold looks very impressive. where do you got it from ?????

Wich Gearbox are you using ? Do you gt more pictures of it ????

The oilpump ????

And last but not least one more time the Head studs ???

This is the most insane thing I have ever seen. Is it going to be road legal?
You could embarrass, well, everyone with that thing.

First sunny weekend of the year, went out for a bit of a "Spring clean" in the Garage. And found this in the corner under a pile of junk:





Really must get on with it this year............. ;-)
