Dazab's V70 T5 Project Race Car

[daza-b]

Well guys the time has arrived and i have finally got the v70 i was on about in my other project thread, few plans for this V70 are being thrown around, possibility of maybe trying for a RWD T5 for a bit of fun, maybe FWD or AWD, i will decide more as time goes on but going to show you all step by step as the project grows, unfortunately it wont be ready for cadwell in feb but the engine that is in this (2.4 20v Turbo) is going into my XLT after a full rebuild as its done over 300k haha and a little upgrading to get my much loved XLT upto hopefully around 250bhp if not more, anyways enough boring you and here some pics, please bear in mind i have only just got it and cost me only £200 so its a bit dirty :D

Thanks!! Lets see if Adam has a seat for you, and I might come up with that anyway. I'll be using the T5 more after it's had the work done tomorrow, so a spin out to Morecambe would be nice. We really like Glasson for walkng the dogs, so we could go there as well.

I'll be watching with great interest ;)
Good luck.

does sound really good, just not very keen on yellow lol

[M-R-P]

Initially I thought red (dark metallic with a large fleck) but thought about it and gloss yellow on satin black seemed to stick out for me;)

[daza-b]

that does look pretty smart i must admit, spray the inner shell like a nice glossy black, yellow roll cage, black buckets etc could be a plan :D

[M-R-P]

Like Gok Wan, me, but with cars (and a preference for women;))

haha love it! really in a pickle on sorting a rollcage out, thought about building it myself but dont know if i want to risk it, i mean i really dont plan on rolling it but hey s**t happens lol

[M-R-P]

So long as the welds are good and the anchor points are correct you'll be fine. Sure you'll find.plans on tinter-web somewhere :)

[daza-b]

does anybody know what sort of tubing is best to use for roll cages?

[local-looney]

does anybody know what sort of tubing is best to use for roll cages?

my mate built mine in a race car
http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x451/850-shane/fone197.jpg

cheers buddy, whats the name of the tubing? the only time i have ever bilt a cage is in a stock car and we use scaffolding pole haha

[local-looney]

lol....i did when i was doing bangers!! it was just normal mild steel tubing from our local tube place...never used posh stuff!!

[daza-b]

lol....i did when i was doing bangers!! it was just normal mild steel tubing from our local tube place...never used posh stuff!!

lol cheers bud ill have a look and see what i can find, going to get the dash and the rest of the interior out tomorrow, then a bit of fabricating and then on with the cage :D

[M-R-P]

you might want to hold the cage for a bit... When you stripped the car as much as possible, you may start removing things like bulkhead panels, roof supports etc. You can then build the cage to fit.

[daza-b]

yea know what you mean buddy, got plenty to do :D lol

[claymore]

You could go for something like my old Fiat

u and superchargers! haha i just dont get how they work, bit dumb i know but i have always worked with turbos, its like how do they get the power to drive the belt etc etc are they electronic or ram air? im :confused:

[M-R-P]

Who is spraying that fiat?
My missus and my son swear blind that it's me!

Instead of the exhaust gas spinning the compressor, a belt off the crankshaft does it instead, so boost from tickover.

right i get ya now, no electronics then?

[claymore]

Just good old mechanicals and a bit of plumbing

[daza-b]

Just good old mechanicals and a bit of plumbing

i do like the sound of that, seeing on your project you have 2 intercoolers, you need one for the charger too then?

[claymore]

The top mount is to cool down the charge out of the Turbo (if the air is to hot going into the supercharger the lobes would expand to much and seize the charger)

i get you, i might try and get 2 coolers in front of the rad, unless i get 1 big ass cooler with the twin exits, i seem to recall seeing one of them in your thread claymore?

the one with the 2 outlets was just a cheap bargain off ebay, i welded up the outlets and welded t some new ones where I needed them, that is now my front mount, there is not realy enough room for two intercoolers at the front.
