Hello all
I;m new on this and just found this site, for sure, after i'm cloase to finish the project
Beeing upset on my R21 europacup replica with 2.2l turbo engine and FWD, decided to save by scrap an old VW Golf MK1 made for rally on late 80's, then used on hillclimb and stationed on a yard for 5 years wayting somebody to mount an audi quattro transmission.
because the car was owned by different friends of mine during time, i decided i don't let it go to scrap...had a crushed Yamaha FZS 1000 engine (initially bought as donator for the other project, a Formula Easter monopost-on restauration-choosed to use an original engine for that piece of history and not a bike one)...and that's the story...few months of working on and after work, took it to my shop to make something when time permitted(because at home, no chance)...not so many informations, just few pics and a dream...an aspirated with lot of rpm's and sequential gears
even i have already made an LSD for chain drive for the ex easter(donator was an BMW big box diff) restauration project, i decided to use a small LSD differential complete from BMW( i don;t know E30, 40, 50, 100, i'm not a bimmer fan
, but this time, a small one-considering the weights.
thinking a little and working a lot, buidling and modifiyng without a project, this is what resulted
first test was surprsingoy good, even false air comming on carburettors joints and obtained only 5-6K RPMs, even changed 2 water coolers on different positions(just temporary solutions) now finally mounted a new one, need only the ventlilators and fresh air ducts; saturday just painted the cockpit, now i have to remount the brake lines and stuff, rewire and add new wires, programming a PIC for making a kynd of electronic dashboardwith rpms, speed, water temp etc...and...just 1 month till the first hillclimb race
forgot to say, that;s the only place were i will go with it, hillclimb, because our club organise hillclimb races and , to be fair, it;s the onlyk ynd of races that i really like and i can participate
i have to say again, nice to meet you guys, thanks for your time and sorry for my bad english
few pics, maybe more to come if anybody's interested
