Shortsport's shortsport replica

[james_bufkin]

Where did you buy that carbon/Kevlar weave.(2-1-2-1 am 1-2-1-2) I'm looking for that particular weave and have seen it in Europe much more than the standard weave here in the States. (1-1-1-1 am 1-1-1-1)

Thanks
James

The intercooler is off the shelf and i've removed the rear shelf/bulk head so i can brace the rear struts and then it will be replaced with ally instead and also a custom built ally fuel tank

I've seen an intercooler that looks identical to that which my mate purchased for his volvo turbo it was destined for a scooby but it looked quite a good size. I liked the size and look of it but space is the problem at the front of an s2 unlike his volvo which he's cut the bumper and grill and having it sitting out the front (will upload pictures at some point when its fitted so we can have a laugh).

Are you just going to brace across the rear struts or add it into the roll cage? and are you going to leave the back open so to speak into the boot?

here's the link for the carbon/kevlar

The braced struts will be linked into the cage and the shelf and seat rear will be refabricated in allywith the cage going through it.

What are you making?

[Jeffer]

Nice project going on. Are you also fabing a new "trunk wall".
Keep it going!

[shortsport]

Yes i am going to fab a new trunk wall
Here,s an update some new bits and new fabrication work to the boot


new s8 radiator

battery box and hoses

[Jeffer]

Nice, was the trunk rotten? Radiator in the boot or in the front?

[Jeffer]

Sorry, in the boot. Saw the pictures again in the first page

[shortsport]

I decided to put it in the boot due to lack of space under the bonnet + it looks cool

[Jeffer]

Has that S8 radiator steering fluid conections on it? Or is it purely for the coolant. I've got a radiotor for the SQ that has that, I believe it's from an (R)S4. I'd rather have one without these connections.

And do you have dimensions Thanks

[shortsport]

Mine hasn't got the cooler for the steering or auto box just for coolant,i used this link for referance a good online catalogue
