tom im not happy abour quiff day change….  

done a bit more today now xmas is out the way

finally got round to skimming the bay and getting a bit of primer on



just needs a dose of high build now then i can crack on with the colour

also go the car up on axle stands and removed all the front suspension

spent a few hours cutting and folding my heat shield

500x 1000 sheet



a few bend grinds and cuts later i was left with this



that fits something like this



nowhere near finished but u get the idea  8)

Wow! Top work

Love the re'engineering of parts, if there is a better way 8)

Any more progress?

I remember this years back on ed38, probaly 5-6 years back now!

Pete.

haha yeah cheers dude its been a long time in the making

ditched the whole heat shield idea now as i had a look on the mk1 20vt at crazyquiffs and there is no massive need for it and it will hide my nice smooth bulkhead  

ive mounted the remote servo



will be hidden by the centre console when its all back together

next i sized up all the hidden brake lines ready for flaring tomorrow fronts will pop out here



got my decoded and remapped ecu back today so ill get that mounted up tomorrow too  8)

Nice work!

Where you get that heat sheild from?

demon tweeks mate  

Awesome. Thanks.

Some great work going on here… Looking through the pics on the first page you've got this car 'right' three times now… Looks like a toy on the Brocks! Love it.

got all there hidden brake lines plumbed in tonight when the fronts all together ill bleed it all up



just need to run the vacuum line once the engine is in  8)

painted up the ecu bracket and wile i was waiting for it to dry i took things a step too far and gave the ecu a polish  8O  

a side by side shot with my mates decoded ecu for the R32 I'm putting in his corrado



i need to get some paint on the bay next so i can get the engine mounted

Only the bests ones are :wink:

Lol! - Polished ecu

Liking the remote servo, and location, plus all the hidden brake lines, very trick 8)

Whats the plan for the inside?

Pete.

Amazing work, very inspiring.

How have you setup the brakes? you have 2 master cylinders an 1 servo, are you running the rears straight of the MC?

I have a remote servo and considered using it but didn't want to run all 4 corners of it and had thought to run the rears with out but wasn't sure if you could do it.

nice mate im a abit confused as you have a pedal box and a remote servo, thats 3 master cylinders please can you explane this as im having a real brain blank moment  :mrgreen:

haha ill try and explain lol

2 bias cylinders on the brake pedal

1 goes straight to the mk4 1.8t rear disk brakes via a adjustable bias leaver ( replaces the factory one that bolts to the axle) giving me 100% > 0% pressure on the rear brakes

front ones comes from the 2nd cylinder to the remote servo that boosts the pressure via the vacuum servo then splits off to the 4 pot wilwood front brakes

the single servo only on the front brakes has been tried and tested on crazyquiff rich's ABF mk1 and the system works fine and full MOT complaint and brake roller tested  8)

make sense?  

got the car masked up and plenty of painting sanding painting sanding i maybe ready for the top coat by the weekend
