Thats absolutly awesome work,looks like 110%,normaly a fuelsystem is a few fuellines and fuelpump,held together some clamps,but thats really a work of art

WIT BLITZ · 19th April 2007, 08:35 AM

Sparks it looks very clean (the parts) the attention to detail is amazing. Rob has realy come through for you.

Snowfiend · 19th April 2007, 10:15 AM

That sump is crazy

Wow

Is there going to be any clearance issues underneath the car ?

sparks · 19th April 2007, 11:01 PM

Been talking to Rob again (as I do most nights, annoying the hell out of him!) he said that a lot of people have asked about the fuel system so here is another pic. Still a long way from done but looking incredible

Cheers Sparks

Cool !

SR BEAST · 20th April 2007, 12:32 AM

Nice car and a great setup

a question to rob..using the cp pistons ..what ring end gaps are u running ?

Daz · 20th April 2007, 07:22 AM

Your car will need a bodyshell made of perspex so that you can see all this fabrication work. Looks great.

Snowfiend · 20th April 2007, 07:37 AM

That fuel system is stunning !!!

Asim R32GTR · 20th April 2007, 07:39 AM

WOW!!
That welding done to the parts is totaly insane!
The only other time i have seen welding like that is on products from the big tuningpart makers, like Trust, HKS etc...

And my uncle who has been welding for 30years also does this kind of welding, but it takes lots and lots of experience to achieve...

Asim....

Thanks

Its no-where near as low as a trust sump extention and as this is not a real low track car it will be fine, we've put a 'lead in' on the cooling fins just in case Sparks takes on the speed bumps a bit too quick

Gaz Walker · 22nd April 2007, 10:13 AM

Amazing quality, just amazing

sparks · 23rd April 2007, 10:10 PM

Rob has been super busy again putting in a weekend's worth of work on my engine

The engine is going together now and is looking absolutely incredible (massive understatement!).

Bits going on are ARP Head Studs and a Tomei metal Head Gasket.

Last thing is a few more bits waiting to go on, Wastegate , BOV and front damper!!!

Things are coming along nicely, feels like christmas everyday at the moment

More updates soon,

Cheers Sparks

Wanabee Kiwi · 24th April 2007, 03:24 AM
