Right, I have done some work on the car, but mostly not update worthy.
But here some stuff that might be interesting.
First up, we are making an airbox, because it is bettter than a mushroom.
Here is the mock up:
Then I bought a Renault aftermarket radiator.
A copper one, it is now fitted in the car, bad pics, will get some better ones soon:
Then I had to remake the coolant inlet into the engine, it faced 90 degrees sideways from the block.
So I cut it diagonaly making it face forward towards the radiator and had it welded up again.
With some sanding it now looks like this, although it is not finished yet:
Also because the radiator has no filler cap I need a way to fill up the system.
So I got me a '98 Honda Accord expansion can which I will use.
It should end up right around there:
Mocking up a bracket:
I reworked the throttlecable holder also, coming from a rhd car it was set up to a cable coming from the rear, but I have a lhd car so I have to get the cable around the engine:
Then the cable itself was way to short, so I had 250mm added, fits perfect now:
More next time.
