I live in East London. About 50% thru a 2.0L Zetec build, also trying to fit it with a MT75 g/box.

Cool
How long has it taken to get this far? Have you had to do any welding or anything else tricky?
Cheers

Probably at about 80 hours so far not including striping the Sierra donor. No welding required, although MK did knock up some engine mounts for me
once I had made a pattern of what I needed. First few stages are just bolting old Sierra bits on so worth getting them cleaned and up to scratch
before starting the build.

Zetech- What bit's did you take from the Siera and what engine are you using?
I think we ought to start our own club down here in the south.
On another note, how much room is there in the Indy? I'm a bit of a fat git (18st) and am worried that i will be too wide. I have had it on good
authority from MK that the cockpit will be wide enough for me. We'll see when i visit the factory!
Heathrow Bob, not far! YAY!

I think there might be a clue as to the engine kevin is using in his user name on posts.
I'm 16 stone mate and there is plenty room for me,i reckon a tight fit is better cos you dont rattle around too much.

D'OH! silly me!
I had a friend who built a Tiger 6 about 5 years ago (when i was ALOT lighter!) and i could not fit into the drivers side but just managed to
painfully squeeze into the passenger side. DAMN GOOD FUN and you are right about being better not moving about :O)
Just found a company who can supply all recon parts i need when i need them YAY!

I stripped a 2ltr DOHC Sierra, G reg. took off brakes (disc front and rear), MT75 g/box, diff (but latter bought a LSD one from breakers for £75),
steering rack etc, drive shafts and hubs/uprights. The engine was out of a crashed Mondeo 2.0Ltr and was £400.

A friend of mine had a 2 liter Ztech in his Tiger and it absolutely flew. He also used his laptop to adjust the ECU for track days. I'm going to
stick with a 2 litre pinto with twin 45's. As long as i get 100bhp plus i will be happy.
