And it came to pass that there was no chance of the A6 20V V8 driveline fitting in the XR4 shell, even in fwd to mid engine rwd. Sadly for the engine and transmission to fit where the rear wheels are meant you have to be less high than @moorey and to push the engine back to allow adults in the driving place the transmission poked out the back. Sadness all round. :( <= token sad face.

So the guru spake unto me, what about the Capri? Alas poor Yorich, that is now slated for an LS swap. Engine and box of gears hath arrived. More power, easier conversion and a better thing to be sure.

So the Audi has gone to a better place among the gumtrees with lots of something something something.

Hark! This has allowed a new project to take the place of the butchery!!! A road registered track toy.

Parts have started to arrive, the car not so much.

Here is a teaser. 4 of these, last in the country.



These ones are marked as road legal, so from home to the track, track, and home...

Stay tuned for more teasers...

Mr Greenfield
Day before Xmas, fuel pressure issues.

Fuel rail isn’t holding pressure the moment the cars turned off. The fuel filter has a pressure regulator and back flow valve in it. Guess I’m paying the dealer parts counter tax today.
