Haha, ill try!! Thanks Len.

Im going to spend a bit of time mapping it now. Ideally, i want to find some disused land somewhere. When driving in the good parts of the map, it does shift a bit. Looking forward to getting cracking on it.





Kindest Regards,

Its alive again!!

I got so fed up with Megasquirt and also the development using a supercharger; especially with the weather we've had, so ive gone standard with a renault 21 ECU and loom, and a T34 Turbocharger (Ok, well not completely standard!!).

Not much to do now before ive finished the mechanical side of things now.

Potentially Selling

Right, ive deliberated this for a while now....


I'm thinking of selling the project, due to having another activity that is taking up my time. If i sell, then it is likely that i will replace it with something complete or maybe even a factory built car, but likely to be a V8 at least so i would consider a swap / Part ex. W.H.Y.

The car has a renault 21 Turbo engine in it with OE ECU, which runs and just needs the coolant system finishing. I'll probably do this and get it to a condition where it can be driven. Turbo is a good Garrett T28. Custom Radiator (Cost £350), intercooler and oil filter remote.

Body is all fibreglass and solid, though needs painting as it has never been painted.

Front hubs are Cortina, rear are Sierra. UN1 Gearbox is good. Tyres are new.

I have a spare 2.2 engine that i would throw in with the car (needs refurbishment)

On its last MOT, the car weighed in at a calculated 572Kg with me in it (Calculated by brake roller system). Car will pass MOT at the moment once the engine is running, but i have it SORN due to changing from megasquirt to standard.

Will also throw in the Megasquirt system that i was using, and a rugged laptop.

Not quite sure what its all worth, because it is certainly unique and there is a lot of kit there. I know i wont get all of my investment back, and have enjoyed the majority of the work that i have done on it.

Serious Offers Only please.





(As is at the moment)






Kindest Regards,
Richard.

Sorry to hear this Rich

She'd look good with a lick of paint!

Good luck with the sale.

Cheers Ian.

Ive been quite attached to the thought of having it painted and driving as it should but realistically, i just dont have the time.

Rest assured though, that this isnt the death of my enthusiasm for cars.....

Well, she now purrs like a cat, and gets very shouty at full throttle!

Nect job on the list is intercooler, battery mount and boost hoses, rather than having it directly piped in as it is now!
