rally rebuild

[jdrally]

Been following your project with interest. LOOKS good... Nice to see your seat mounts, alot of controvicey (sp) this year about them. Awsome front bottom arms. Are you going to run air filters ? Looks tight to fit them on.
Keep the pictures coming.

I know what you mean about seat mounts. I first built this car in 1998 and all was ok then. But not used this car for many years now. I might get a local scrutineer to have a look, but I have seen alot worse on older built cars that still run today. I might get some modern tubes fitted while I can.
I have also spoken to JRE about filters and they can reduce the spacers by about 1/4 inch to allow filters and should not affect the power. But we will fine tune when one the road.
The bottom arms are well made items from Rix engineering and are fitted to Callum Duffy and Simon Mauger cars. Plus I can dial out the scrub radius which is a problem when fitting 15inch wheels. This should make it turn in better.
Still have plenty to do.

Any more updates? just giving this one a little bump!

[jdrally]

Not much to report on. Friend of mine is making some adaptors for my filter head so I can fix the Stack oil pressure and oil temp senders in.
Bellhousing had to be machined to allow fitment of the centre hydraulic release.
So while I have been waitingt I have made up the fuel and dry sump lines for the engine bay.

I have removed the throttle bodies to allow me to fit the new dry sump lines and fuel lines. I first made a bulkhead plate to cover the old holes, but it will be unseen when throttle bodies and filters are fitted. Tomorrow will attack the wiring loom.

What size tyres are you using?

[jdrally]

Been a bit at the start of this year with work and competing on events. But have finally managed to final fit the gearbox and linkage. As you see I now have a sealed transmission tunnel.
Also spent a lot of time setting up the front suspension, and have decided to run standard size diameter springs instead of 2 1/4 ones. I ran these before on my Bilsteins and found the ride better over bumps.
Next job is to fit a 2 piece propshaft, when it arrives, and make the exhaust.

Tyres will be 220/58/15 on rear and maybe 210 or 200 fronts. I will probably be using Dunlops.

Hi!
Great looking car!
I know I'm digging up an old thread here.
How did the Sadev box work out for you? Did you do the two piece prop?
