Come on Beggers...

There is this thing called time, which only some people have, especially when they are fully booked with other work, so can't drop things at a moment's notice It's coming along, so don't worry, i'll do an update after the new year

Begbie, change lashes's name as punishment!!

If you need a hand with anything Beggars then let me know - I may have some time to spare

Is this still moving on Begbie, I've just noticed a worrying number of significant parts for sale in that section of the forum?

Still going, engine was put back in on Friday. The collection of parts that are up for sale are items i've just had hoarded away with the car, so being up there over the weekend gave me a chance to pick them up and be able to sell them off to pay off some debts

so it looks like your car will be with us soon then!
hows the work on the manifold going?

Manifold isn't made yet. Car is booked for 1st Feb with OJZ engineering

nice one, as ive said fingers crossed for you mate!

Good to see it coming along. How long do you think the manifold will take to make?

Not sure, approx a week or so to do

Phew, good, I know you've looked at the wall and wondered if it was worth scaling before. Glad it's still on track!

hmm... Photos of nice welding please, I love nice welds.....

That is some Project Begbie, fantastic work and dedication been shown here. I dread to think what this has all cost you (apart form the sweat and tears). Keep up the great work.

Looking good mate!

Can't wait to see this in action at TOTB!!

Great thread, what perserverence, you must have a hair-shirt or no shirt on your back by now. Great commitment

It is one week later and I demand pics of a shiny new manifold.

You'll have to wait. I'm not back up in Lincoln for a few weeks yet, so no photo's till then. I might try and get Phil to send me one though

Seconded

Photo's now posted

looks lovely begbie!!

i hope things go ok at Phill's!!

I've just messed in my pants.....

want a tissue Nobby??

i got a spare! lol

Looks nice. Getting close now

Nice manifold. I like the fact its not squished up against the rocker cover like most others are due to them also being designed to fit the Integrale.

BTW I know the nuts in the pictures are just temporary but in case you didn't know (and for everyone really); the name for the correct type of lock-nuts are M10 x 1.5 K-nuts. Spread the word and let there be an end to the tyranny of manifold nuts undoing themselves once and for all!

This is probably down to the turbo being moved to a more central position and that i have a slim line fan that is on the front of the radiator giving more room

Manifold looks great, Car is coming along really well

Hello, been following your build progress a little.

I have come all the way from the integrale world over on delphi, im interested to know what size ID the scara manifold was and was the restriction that was mentioned in Guys report, a combination of undersized tube and tight bends, or was there more like a physical body preventing ample flow ? What size ID in comparison is the new manifold ?

thanks

Edited that for you Tricky

Are you going to ceramic coat coat it?
