building a sportquattro

Its a pity that MRC day isnt a day or too earlier or I would have come on the way to Le Mans

[Jamo]

Nah he's coming to the MRC day! :mischeif:

[madpugger]

Fancy coming to Le Mans or Nurburgring 700 with it?

Awesome project!

Flywheel is made by Repo. Fine bit of kit indeed.

The first outing is planned to Bittburg on the 14th of may. 1/4 miles on the airfield of Bittburg.
I will certainly take it to the uk. Maybe even this year

[URQguy]

The car looks nice buddy. Good work!

[geryS2]

thanks guys.
Just drove it for real the first time to the gas station. How EXCITING can that be

Did hear some alarming noises in the car. The exhaust touches the subframe, this is an easy fix with another hanger. And the right front strut cloinks about. Need to investigate that....

Hope we can see it in real too this summer somewhere in europe ,

awesome job, congrats !!

I am sure i read some where on weavers web site if you leave the engine un run you can cycle the pump with the belt of and a gun or drill to clear it.

Yes you could I just don't like the idea of oil pushing up against the rings of the pistons lower down the bore. Just incase any seeps past into the combustion chamber.

Jeffer, I hope you will bring this fantastic car of yours to England sometime soon

Drain back into the crankcase is a common problem on dry sump setups that sit around for a couple of days. You can easily hydrolock an engine sitting for a week.

Personally I would always fit a dry break coupling of sorts to isolate the tank to the pump when parked up for any length of time.

Other than that good to hear your running again.
