Project Car / Motorbike thread. Let's see 'em.

Are you and @moorey are the same person?

Stuck caps lock reminds my of @Hellyeah perhaps a menage Audi trio going on here.

@Dales Cannon Aye, back in the day had this setup on wifey's daily:

The Fiesta chassis is so sweet.

Still trying to get the Polo there - still only 95% as good...

I like your wife's undercarriage but that tyres a bit bald.

 

[hifiandmtb]

Bald's good.

 

[link1896]

That’s amateur excess camber wear. Mind you this is a 285 wide too.

Inside edge goneski

 

[hifiandmtb]

Because BMW. Fuck they are hopeless with tyre wear!

 

[Haakon]

Wouldnt say no to be honest. A couple of projects in the pipeline and one has rear drums at the moment. If you are happy to hang on to them until things settle I will happily pay postage if you are ok to ship them north. That project needs a BMW K1100 RS head...

PM me your address, I need to go to the post office this week anyway at some point.

Still looking for a donor drivetrain for the red xr4 shell we have. Mazda 6 mps too expensive still and the Focus rs came and went and we missed it. However... partner in automotive atrocities has found a possible car. Will be ludicrous if we can pull it off. I now have to do some measuring. If it is just plain stupid I think it is a goer. One of my favourite engines in an awd layout. Hmmmmm. Stay tuningered.

Smaller capacity, double the valvolas

Kluger? ZB commode? RS6?

 

[Dales Cannon]

One of those... but not a 6. I don't think it will fit, but I will try.

If you can get a sillycar gt4 into a mini, you can do that. The bar has been set

One of the few times I'll agree with him.

Off to find some popcorn

 

[hifiandmtb]

Holy cow.

 

[beeb]

Holy cow.

Way too much talk, not enough car!

Love 90's era spoon cars, so subtle, so OCD.

 

[Dales Cannon]

So we bought the donor car.

I have this amount of space:



So will this:



fit?

Plans are to do a measure but first of all do a few sprints when we can get back on the track and see what is likely to break and have a bit of fun howling a 2t Audi around the track. Happy to redo the entire front end and use the Audi gear and make guards fit. The wild rally flares are the right size for the track increases and the back is a blank canvas with the roll cage to fit around the strut tops. I think the problem will be that the XR4 cannot accommodate the length of the engine but there is a mkI Capri that is looking for a drivetrain. Those things fit 302 Windsors so thowing this in will be a doddle.

Also means my Spridget project is postponed for a long while though that gives me time to find a K1100RS motor.

 

[Haakon]

fibber - you said it had twice the valves of an LS...

And yes, it will be fine. Nothing an angle grinder cant fix.

 

[Dales Cannon]

I was wrong. LS has 16, this might have 40. My favourite Audi motor.

Nice clean simple design...

Oh-my-fucking-god. You have to make that happen.

I'd offer advice, but I don't think my angle alloy and fencing wire will actually help much
