hi guys

i have nearly finished my frame, engine is going in on tuesday, engine mounts are here and i will be final positioning this week. Rear subframe is going on as soon as i repair the mounting panel.

i will also be making up the hubs on the front frame and positioning up the tie rods and welding on the mounting points.

So next monday i will have a rolling shell with the engine in and be positioning the alternator and the radiator then getting ready to plumb in.

also this week i got the ecu out of the swift and the gear linkage.


SO it is all steaming ahead and i will hopefullly have a surprise for you soon........ where has that 20 inches of metal gone......... surely not 105hp in a micro machine!!!!

watch this space

Any updates mate?

[superted87]

Yeah i had some positioning errors and some serious workload in october so this month i got the engine mounted nice and solid. WHen i get my Spi sorted out it will be ready to go.

Unfortunately being in the forces i have to go away for a while but when i am back i will be able to crack on again.

Might remake the frame over my xmas leave time. Or finish my house , one of the two


Cheers for keeping on my tail guys !!
