Got my body back..........!

I am pretty sure it's not gonna be very quick with that motor :D


way back in about 1972 (? someone correct me if this is the wrong date!) there was a certain F1 car running a big fan to create "ground effect" via a vacuum! that is gonna be my version! NOT!

The entire fuel system is in the car, lines , pumps, filters, etc, but obviously suitably spec'd / sealed from the cabin to FIA international specs

F7r is originally from the clio williams, but this is the 714 version which is the Megane 16v homologation item for the Maxi kit cars, hence the block is 30% stiffer but 6kg lighter, which is nice. Even so i have done a lot of strengthening on the bottomed, with a 12mm steel plate and machined from solid crank bearing caps effectively turning the bottom end into a ladder frame style assembly, and then further stiffened by a machined from solid dry sump plate.

It is obviously running ALS! how else am i going to impress the chavs without a flaming tailpipe otherwise? loL!

not a great pic of the underneath bits:

the biggest problem i have, it that seeing professionally built WRC cars all day long, kinda sets the bar pretty high in terms of build quality and spec, hence the car has taken ages to put together!

Sounds good to me, on one condition! that we get them tested at a track that is not too small and has long straights,otherwise we might both get to look very silly indeed when Rob's pickle wipes the floor with both our cars! :rolleyes:

how does Spa sound? lol!
