Well, it will only run for about 10 hours per season so it will probably wear more from standing still...

[BradGTV]

how is the build comming along?
i would like to see some pics of your manifold if you have made it yet?

[Mats]

Have had too much at work lately but now I've finally started with the manifold, will post pics.

Några framsteg med bilen?

[Mats]

På svenska minsann!

Not really any huge progress lately though I did manage to get my manifold flange milled the other day. It still needs to be dressed a bit to be perfect but it's soo much easier to do that then to have to do 4x 42mm holes at 40* in a 10mm thick stainless steel plate...
My arm still hurts from polishing the 90* elbows that will make the manifold. Not a funny job that one.

Have done a few things to start off the cambelt job on the 155, waiting for parts for that. Other then that I have been totally unmotivated to do anything really. Pity, but that's the way it is right now.

Hey Mats , post some pics.

[Mats]

Sure, of what?

Manifold build or cambelt rage?

[BradGTV]

manifold!

[Mats]

At the moment it's just a flange and some poished bends, not much to show.
Will post pics as the build progress.

Some guys with pretty toys showed up and played a little. I had to shoot some video, naturally...

Youtube really fucks upp everything that isn't 30fps so there will be a Vimeo version for sure.

Feedback appreciated.

Feedback?

awesome event.

The driver of the yellow Ferrari is not a racer. The orange Lamborghini sounds best and the Nissan GTR driver is a driftking.

I like the Wiesman with the M v10 in it, probably sounds as mean as it looks.

And of course i'm missing a bright red GTV from a crazy swede...

[Mats]

hehe, not sure they would let me drive. No racecars I presume.
I assume the fee to drive at an event like that is a month salary for me or similar.

[Mats]

PICS!







Starting a new job tomorrow, more commuting time...

[Giuliettaevo2]

Very nice engine and plenum!

Have you got a picture from inside the plenum? Did you use trumpets inside?

[Mats]

There are pics back on page 20 (or April 2009 if the pages are split differently), I also have a small video from a simulation on Youtube.

Also started to make the collector for the exhaust manifold today. My welding guy is going to kill me I think...
