Lol, my pockets aren't deep enough for anything Z Cars related!

It'll be a backyard conversion like the Outlawz effort.

(I'm thinking N15 GTi front end cobbled into the Micras arse!)

Next project running alongside my slow ass engine build will hopefully an Austin Mini or a Metro SR Powered

I've been in a VVC powered Rover 100 and it was idiotic...

 

[white_biscuit]

Can imagine being so

That is some shocking welding!!

I take it that you are using micra outer CVs?

Yes using micra outer cv

yeah but the problem is, its like tacking a long weld, it sticks a bit but you dont actually get any penetration and so end up with a piss weak weld.

Iv done that, so hopefully no problems

how do you know its very very strong?

Had the engine in for a week with just a spot weld and held fine

obviously i will find out once i start driving it ;D

Hats off to you guys, you really do get stuck in!

Nice little project, which will be hoot to drive.

Its called the birdshit method iirc...

Good progress all the same.

Cheers everyone for the comments... its not a professional job but something we can improve/learn on

I need to drive this when its done!

Have The shafts been balanced?

 

[white_biscuit]

Indeed they have

 

[Stu-E]

Looks sweet guys gonna be a right beast almost wish I still had my micra

 

[damienga15de]

how much was the balancing?

 

[mov_mera]

It was part of the cost of getting the shafts made

 

[damienga15de]

how much was that then id like some custom shafts made for a few years time using gti cv joints as the pulsar ones are over€500

Shaftec in charleville damo had them do that exact job on my black one man. it was years ago but remember thinking they were reasonable at the time!

Things are looking good so far lads, hope the wiring goes as well as the rest of the build and get this bitch rolling!

 

[mov_mera]

Everything nearly finished now!

Engine out fitted the LSD box, new clutch and engine/box painted silver... manifold also sprayed with VHT paint.

GTi brakes on with Goodridge brake lines.

Front/Rear ARB and panhard rod fitted. Will need spacers for the front to stop it touching the gear linkage and manifold. Had problems with the rear arb will need drill out the snapped stud.

Recaro Seats fitted

Raditor on with two slime line fans

Nismo Strut brace on


Booked in Unique exhaust on thursday cause no exhaust atm... getting 2.5 mandrel bent system with either a SPOON N1 backbox or a Skyline R34 backbox

 

[Dyldo]

Nice work, you lot must have been flat out the last while to get this much sorted! Is the wiring completed then?

 

[white_biscuit]

FLAT OUT!

Swear i aint seen Omair work so hard in my life ever!!

 

[Spook]

Huge progress boys. Excellent stuff. I'd defo get those seats cleaned up though. Should be a right little pocket rocket when finished. Good luck with the rest of the build.
