How are you getting oil pickup to the rear sump?



This is my favorite thread on r3v currently, keep it up !

Thanks Z28!

econti: Just the engine oil cooler (+ simple powersteering fluid cooling loop) will be mounted in front of the radiator, you can see the mounts in earlier pictures. Intercooler still sitting behind the engine in cabin side :)

[econti]

Going for a full V mount cooler and rad setup?

The wide body is looking great, Im really loving the radiator hood vent.

[Miuge]

It sure is :-)

I spent few days with the hood before our holidays, to be continued next week. To perceive the next part of the puzzle I already cut the front bumper in pieces

[econti]

Getting closer

Bodywork fabrication continues, driver's side is already quite good. I remade the side skirt model which is much simpler, lighter and should work better. I'll take a picture for the next post.

Before I cut the hood I made a tunnel for the radiator, all the air goes in front bumper and then exits the hood vent, should be effective enough.






I tried to remain some orginal body shapes yet not forgetting functionality.

Some pictures before I cleaned the garage, the reason why I have now worked with the car outdoors:




Today the driver side rear quarter looked like this, soon getting ready for molding. Front fenders are almost done too, some minor spots that I'm not happy with, but after all it's going to be a race car, so...




Batch of these were sold out quite quickly, so if any of you M20/M30 builders are interested send me a PM or contact via facebook, new batch is coming. Also there will be a U.S. vendor for these :)

Okay where were we..

Oil pan bolted to the engine and it still fits, couple of small additions need to be done before I can say it's complete. Oil stick will be attached with AN fitting, as easy as it gets:


I ordered a batch of AN12 fittings and hose for IC water lines and oil breather lines (yeah I already welded stupid hose fittings in the breather can so I need to change them):


Had to push the car out while cleaning the garage, notice my nice new wheels:

One more aluminum tank.. Fuel surge tank that has been in progress for a loong time. It needed a baffle inside, end cap and AN fittings for fuel in and out, unfortunately AN6 fittings were out of stock at the local store so I wasn't able to completely finish it Underneath my FPR with AN10 in/outlets:


Finally got this part I've been waiting for, shiny aluminum bit from Italy:

So much fab work involved. Coming out great

[Miuge]

Here's even more, coolant reservoir and oil catch can with crankcase and cyl head ventilation:

[Miuge]

Lol, very little indeed.. I guess :)
