Steve GT Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 i think just something rectangular to cover the bottoms at the side would look good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jason_l Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 i think just something rectangular to cover the bottoms at the side would look goodYes thats what im doing, then there is a large scoop at the bottom rear that scoops air to engine/filter etc. I may not bother with carbon as its having Manga style graphics done right down the side Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PJN Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Nice to see this project's still going strong.I think out of all the project's I'm following on various forums at the moment, this is the only one that is still ongoing.I need something for a project like this myself, but I'd just get lost in IVA regs.P.S. Nice lookin' turbo, my favourite ones are the ones that look about the same size as East Anglia Quote Link to post Share on other sites

siren676 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 That turbo is awesomeJust modify a small exhaust housing onto it, it should work. Or put a pulley on the exhaust side and make a huge supercharger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tersplat Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I just spent the last 2-3 hours reading through all of your updates, and all I can say is WOW. I never realized that there could be so much work that could go it no one. I think that is an amazing project and can only imagine the time and money spent on this. has to be way more than I have put in to my ep. I cant wait to see the final project. I'll be watching this.

jason_l Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Thanks for all the Great comments guys and gals Makes me so motivated to really crack on with the progress. @ PJN, im determined to see this project through and to be honest i can't see myself ever selling this. Hopefully still be driving around in it when im 80 Im not one to spend a load of money on a project and then sell it when its complete/almost there!@ tersplat, really sorry you had to spend so long reading this . I have had a couple of people wonder in and read the thread who didn't know about it and all seem to happily spend several hours reading all the posts! Im currently at work doing more so expect another update tonight. whoop whoop! Plus i need the help of UKSC do work out the anime graphics im going to run down the side! Will get some pictures up tonight and people can have a go at some designs/photoshops if they are really bored Right, back to it.......Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Progress is awesome on this, that front end has totally transformed it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jason_l Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Progress is awesome on this, that front end has totally transformed it Thanks Iddy, doing my best to really knuckle down now.*** Another Update ***Well, Sarah was at work again today so i got up nice and early and went into work with her so i could carry on with the front nosecone.Made the template and cut the vent profiles and started adding them onto the buggy........Until i reached the other side. As you can see the vent is going to be huge. Could have made it smaller but it works out well with the chassis this way, will put some mesh in the front and at the top of the vent to please the IVA guys.Then continued with building up the sides, still not sure if this will look right when done but hopefully find out when i add the foam inbetween the profiles. I have roughly added the side panels and side scoop as well so i can get a better idea of what it will look like.......Im thinking about bringing the nosecone along the sides slightly, where the cardboard panel is on the side so that it is all one piece front....Thats it for the moment, may get a few more little bits done this week but im back to actually doing WORK tomorrow so progress will be back to the steady pace before christmas. Hopefully the foam sheets will arrive this week so i can add them when the profiles are all added.Going to start looking into doing some graphics for the sides, still unsure of what to do but have a few idea's Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
