Terrybullwon's Racing S2 coupe

[terrybullwon]

Nice work, I'm getting pretty good at straight line stuff in ali, but I must admit I need more practice on circular stuff.

Where did you get the big lens from? I've just ordered something similar from here

https://www.arc-zone.com/

Prices are pretty good but postage is expensive so I waited and ordered a few things.

Thanks Andy, i must admit my work where i can sit and use the work bench is much better. I am now proficient in upside down back to front and left handed welding. Chassis fabrication is at every angle!

I've mentally just spent £200

This is the cups i brought

you should try one of these too:-

The CK superflex cable is so light and flexible you almost don't know it's there, so much better than the std RTech cable

I've been putting off getting a CK torch i brought a speedglas instead. I must say its made a massive difference i would highly recommend one. Rapid weld deliver to my friend i get my gas from maybe i will stick one on order. Is that the one you have?

That gas lense is not for AC work!

I take it this is all ali tubing? Let have a look at your welds?!

Here you go Andy









All free hand and most of it done in place with the frame in.

I treated my self to this

[terrybullwon]

Jay at DMD will sell you a set

Few pages back David



Welded in at the lowest point, this will take the wagner intercooler and flat floor.

[david1980]

can you get some pictures of the fittings that join this to the rest of the car?

[jubjub]

Incredible really....
I hope you get the uninterrupted track time this warrants

Looking good

[terrybullwon]

Almost done.

Just the last few bits now.

New calipers so so so so light. Discs and bells also new.



Front crash structure almost fully welded





Body on

It looks crazy James! I have never run a snub mount with the solid engine and gearbox mounts there is no need.

Good idea on angling the wishbones I have some pictures of the WRC polo and Fiesta and they run angled inboard wishbone pick ups.

[terrybullwon]

love the see your developing this already great car, the bolt on aluminium front end is a smart idea, have you retained the snub mount or is it omitted?

It would be great if the intercooler was moved from the front axle too, maybe a chargecooler in the passenger seat location and the pre rad in the boot would get more weight rearward.

Anyway great work

Thanks Baz.

Snub mount has gone if the engine moves there is a serious problem, its designed not to move at all now.

That will up set the go pro at idle again.

I choose to push the intercooler back to the orginal postion so now there is a really large gap 100mm+ . This should help the air through the cooler as its not crashing straight into the front of the motor and getting turbulent. Carsten at Wagner did alot of R&D on that cooler and the data from track days show it really did work well. Its also not to heavy like the Chinese Items.
