[Biff]

Bet the reaction was pretty good. Lol
Now for the R&D side. :)

[AshDVS]

Wow.
Any idea of final weight?
Will you get a chance to put it on a set of racing scales for an idea of corner and cross weight?

[Nari]

Is it 100% driveable now? How does it feel?

[stribo]

Hope you didn't drive it on the public highway with the rear wheels sitting out so far from the bodywork. ;)

we are not worthy!

[Wobbly Dave]

I guess in some ways the rear engine is less complex as there is no PAS to run/ route. Be good to see it soon.

Yep, a lot of work to do yet.


Wow.

No,I'm afraid not, I'll put it on a weigh bridge when its all done, just to see the overall weight.

Is it 100% driveable now? How does it feel?

of course not ;)

thank you :)

It's definitely easier to work on :)

[iancho]

Caught up with this at last Colin.... My, my it has come along way!

The thought and effort that must have gone into this Build is mind boggling :)

I hope Whiplash is Standard now for any passengers! :)

Credit to you bud.... You did it ! :B_thumb:

[claymore]

Something like this I think:

[M-R-P]

Interesting deviation from the norm there Colin but I don't think that tape will hold when it gets wet lol

[Jamest5r]

But it will go all soggy when it rains :)

[Jamest5r]

Too slow for M-R-P again lol

[claymore]

These are the comments I expected...lol

[Biff]

Will you be refitting the rear arches to match the fronts Colin? It might as well be a bit wider! ;)

[claymore]

front wheels still have to come out another 40mm, and will have the same quattro style front arches

[Harvey]

Looks spot on to me..

Front & rear like that...

Front & rear like that...

I was thinking Delta Integrale when I saw the mock up, and I like it. :D The cardboard mock up will probably last longer than the steel Lancia used on their cars. ;)

[WOODY T5]

Too slow for M-R-P again loldon't think he sleeps jim lol

[stribo]

don't think he sleeps jim lol

He doesn't work either. ;)

[M-R-P]

He doesn't work either. ;)

[MoleT-5R]

How is the fit of the front wings, do you need the inner wing box sections to make them work, let me know and I' ll drill the spots out and get them off for you mate.

[JT]

did you get your TT fixed??
mine has a problem now, it shut the engine off whilst cornering at 65!! :(

[claymore]

Nop, tried reflashing it but made no difference. and I don't think Adam is interested in doing anything to them now.

[JT]

we need to find someone who can sort these out, or they will end up in the bin:(

[Jamest5r]

I'm praying mine holds up

[Nealevo]

You need to sell whilst its working........!!










Sorry JT XXX

[JT]

I wonder if it's a programming problem or a hardware problem???
Dry joints maybe ??

I know of a company that repair Pcb boards, I'll try and track them down tomorrow

[claymore]

I'm going to pull the lid off mine and compare it with a standard ecu.

[LiamT4]

What is the law regarding wheels that are wider than the body? I know a few people who have those stupid "euro" look tyres, where the wheels stick out about 2" and the tyres are stretched to fit..............apart from looking f-ing stupid and ruining the ride, i thought they were illegal?

[claymore]

Tyre tread must be covered by the body work, I can't stand stretched tyres.

[t5 pete]

Nop, tried reflashing it but made no difference. and I don't think Adam is interested in doing anything to them now.

Well that's really ££££ what a ££££ service rob people of their money for a product that obviously doesn't work correctly for long periods of time must be really cheep components used.
It was before my time with the adam/Hamish thing but obviously following suit from what ive read

[LiamT4]

Tyre tread must be covered by the body work, I can't stand stretched tyres.

So the alloy itself can stick out, but not the tyre tread, strange.

On one of my mates cars, there is actually a gap between the edge of the rim and the tyre, its looks stupid and its so stretched that there's no give in the tyre. The ride is sh*te.

[claymore]

the wheel itself is only allowed to stick out by a certain amount, but I can't remember what it is.

Sure there should be a 30mm radius, eg no sharp edges.

[claymore]

Started making the mounts for the Supercharger:

[jamesy12345]

I don't think you're going to need the radio back in with that charger over your left shoulder

Love the 70-series look :)

[claymore]

Well, I feel like having a break from all the mechanicals, so it's time to start on the arches,

First, start off with a nice piece of glass:

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u258/claymore2k/T10%20Projects/20140916_140400.jpg (http://s170.photobucket.com/user/claymore2k/media/T10%20Projects/20140916_140400.jpg.html)

lay out the cardboard templates to see if I can get them all on:

Followed by a couple of layers of fiberglass:

And if I'm fiber-glassing, that can mean only one thing :)

mark out ready to pull off the mirror in a couple of hours:

[M-R-P]

Nice to see Mr. Branston pulling his weight.. bloody freeloader ;)

[claymore]

This is what the first one looks like, imagine some wide sills, the front bumper pulled out, and the side repeater and trim back on.

Great update mate, things seem to be moving along nicely

[AshDVS]

Are you planning on having a firewall between the rear engine and drivers compartment?

[claymore]

Are you planning on having a firewall between the rear engine and drivers compartment?

As has been said probably a thousand times. Yes there will be a bulkhead. (opps, that sounded a bit harsh, but I get asked about a bulkhead all the time)

[claymore]

Tonight is rear arch test fit.

Wing strip is straight and level, it looks wonky because the arch comes out so much.

STILL no mention of a firewall though?? ;)

STILL no mention of a firewall though?? ;)
there will be no firewall, I've purchased a 3 layer nomex suit :)

[MoleT-5R]

I think the firewall if he ever makes one, should be made in clear acrylic sheeting so he is able to see his rear engine working and would able to see any occurring fires in his rearview mirror........;)

Erm...

Think you'll find that's my department!

[claymore]

No mechanicals or fiberglass today, Today was a bit of wiring, one of the things that has pecked my head since the engine went in was the temporary starter switch (screwdriver, which I've lost a few times) and having to turn round to start the car, so now I don't have to go through all that anymore.

mine lights up at the first click of the ignition switch......just got lucky I guess

[claymore]

I probably won't even clean it when it's finished....lol

[claymore]

Not much done today, but got a skim of filler on the front arch, then used 1 of my £1 rattle cans to see how bad it was (it's bad....lol)

Not much done today, but got a skim of filler on the front arch, then used 1 of my £1 rattle cans to see how bad it was (it's bad....lol)

some from of flat-bed sander will be necessary with the integrale style arches to get the flats pronounced properly, no curves to hide in here, nice job so far mate, sure you don't fancy her in integrale red...?????

[iancho]

At least your trying mate :B_thumb:

Gives us all a good idea of what it will look like when it's eventually finished :)

[AshDVS]

As has been said probably a thousand times. Yes there will be a bulkhead. (opps, that sounded a bit harsh, but I get asked about a bulkhead all the time)

It did come across as pretty harsh and yet you chose to still post it. Odd.
Best of luck with the rest of it.

A bit of work on the rear arch today:

starting to look interesting I think the fronts look pretty good not sure on the back yet but time will tell

[AshDVS]

Saw that. Might have been worth deleting then?
People often forget their manners on forums.

It's an interesting project, I'm cool to ask no more questions.
Best of luck with it, you're bound to end up with one of a kind when it's done. The front flares look pretty good!
I'm looking forward to seeing more of it and what it comes out like when you're done and you've worked through all the tidying up stuff (which of course is the most time consuming.)

[Wobbly Dave]

are you making a hinged section for the fuel filler or does the fuel go elsewhere (I forget)

I don't know yet...lol, but as the intercooler will be ducted out of the back, that should be fine, the air filter needs a little more thought ;)

[Dangerous Dave]

Wouldn't a baffle in front of the filter work? Just to stop it getting soggy.

It may improve on a hub, but looks similar to my tight fit brakes.

But clearance is clearance!

Be interested to see on the hub.

Loads of room

[Jamest5r]

Maybe more room under a set of original pegs?

[claymore]

Maybe more room under a set of original pegs?

I think I've got a few more mm's on my Rays wheels :)

[Ettienne]

Maybe more room under a set of original pegs?

Those pegs are pretty much identical to originals, allegedly made in the same factory in Germany (these and originals both stamped Germany).

[Ettienne]

What are you doing about the centre bore difference? Making a spigot ring or similar.

[claymore]

What are you doing about the centre bore difference? Making a spigot ring or similar.

Centre bores will be machined out.

[Ettienne]

I don't think so, jags use 71mm Volvo 68mm

[Ettienne]

Unless ceramics are different to steel jag discs.

[claymore]

I don't think so, jags use 71mm Volvo 68mm

Yep they're smaller than the Volvo 68mm

[Ettienne]

I was going to make a thin ring and tack it in place on the steel discs to centre them to avoid disc wobble, then possibly get them balanced if needed.

[AndysR]

Loving the brake set up Colin, looking awesome, as said clearance is clearance ;)

[Ettienne]

Yep they're smaller than the Volvo 68mm

Unusual the steel xfr 380mm use a 71mm bore, maybe they go on specific hubs for the ceramic discs.

I can only go on what I have in front of me, and was told that I would need to machine out the centre bores, perhaps they come like this and then Jaguar (or whatever maker) have them machined out to their requirements.

[Ettienne]

They must be rears lol, 64.5mm centres. Unbelievably they use 376mm discs (steel).

[claymore]

They must be rears lol, 64.5mm centres.

Yes they are, did you not know that :)

[Ettienne]

Could be that, I'll buy some rears for the front of mine, as long as there is no handbrake drum.

[Ettienne]

Yes they are, did you not know that :)

No, you wouldn't have guessed from the size of them 380!

What's the width of them?

[claymore]

Next to a 336 disk:

[Ettienne]

Looks a bit thicker, bearing in mind the 336 discs aren't small.

The rear xfr steel is the same thickness as the 320mm fronts (v70) discs 26mm.

[claymore]

[Wobbly Dave]

Dumb question - but do you have a separate starter for the rear engine or is it wired in to start with the front engine?

[claymore]

Both seperate. I think theres a short vid a few pages back of the rear engine starter

[Wobbly Dave]

Given that the 2 gearboxes work from the same lever - if both engines are not running then assuming that the clutch control is also linked - doesn't that mean that you can't run them independantly - or am I missing something? How do you run it in single engine mode?

[Doingitsideways]

The rear linkage disengages, Dave.

How come you've got 2 engines, but only 1 exhaust?

[claymore]

How come you've got 2 engines, but only 1 exhaust?

I haven't made the exhaust for the front engine yet :)

[claymore]

swapped the 50mm spacer that was on the front near side to the 40mm, and the wheel wont go over the caliper, so I now have 2 choices, I'm going to Greenwich on Monday to pick up some 18" Jag wheels, if they don't fit then it will have to be 19" :(

I've always wondered, will there be a problem with syncronising the engines speed wise? One could be faster than the other which can't be good, can it?

[claymore]

Have a bit of a think about it, how can one engine spin faster than the other (apart from a hard launch)?

Black ice,snow,grass.:rotfl:

Different size tyres ?.:B_steerin

[claymore]

as long as the wheels aren't spinning, then the road will synchronize the two engines.

[Nealevo]

There are some 19" pegs for sale on vtuning..?

[claymore]

There are some 19" pegs for sale on vtuning..?
Yep, i saw them, if these jag wheels don't fit, then I'll probably look for some non Volvo 19's.

[Nealevo]

I may be able to help with that

[FIREBOLT]

I have a set of new 19's blocking my garage you may be interested in, they seem quite light as well.

[Dangerous Dave]

Makes sense that way round.

[t5 pete]

Looking great as usual colin really like the look of the addition to the diffuser

[claymore]

Had a little jaunt to Greenwich today to pick up some more wheels, and the internal diameter is exactly the same as the pegs :(, so the hunt for some 19" wheels begins :(

[Jamest5r]

You not tried an original peg yet?

[claymore]

Don't know anyone local who has one.

[JT]

might be interested in those 18's if you need to get rid?? :B_steerin

[claymore]

might be interested in those 18's if you need to get rid?? :B_steerin
I made a bit of a bobo with them, I assumed (wrongly) that they would be 5x108, but they're 5x120, so they should be easy enough to sell as they're BMW fitment.

[JT]

I meant the pegs! :lol:

[Jamest5r]

I meant the pegs! :lol:

Me and Colin have an understanding on those peg's....1st dibs over here matey :)

[Jamest5r]

Don't know anyone local who has one.

If you can wait till Cosford i don't mind popping to your's either before or after

[claymore]

I meant the pegs! :lol:

I have many other Volvo's for the pegs to go on :), plus as Jim says, when i get fed up of them he has them off me, then when he get's fed up I have them back...lol

[claymore]

If you can wait till Cosford i don't mind popping to your's either before or after
At the moment, the car won't move and i need to sort something before Cosford, to be honest, I think I'm not going to bother taking it to Cosford, I'll just go in the green Bitch.

[JT]

:cussing:

lol

bloke in nuneaton selling 19" pegs cheap

[claymore]

I should have bought them in hindsight, but they're sold now :(

[Dangerous Dave]

How about an XC90 wheel? Wouldn't that fit?

Would it look god on something like this

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281483140156 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281483140156)

not so sure how it would look on an 850 though, would need something a 35 profile I would guess, was going to say, to fit the arches but that is not such a problem on this particular car

[claymore]

What colour? Black, Yellow, or leave them silver?

[M-R-P]

Gay blue :)

[claymore]

Lol. I might go for a royal blue :)

[claymore]

Black it is then, should make the yellow calipers pop :). Pictures are crap, bit to dark to take them at them moment.

[Tomcat]

Loving the alloys Colin, are they a straight fit?.

[claymore]

I had to flappy wheel the center bore out 1.3mm

[Nealevo]

They should look good on the car mate. Black is better.

[craigoodwood]

if you want royal blue all the machines i make are painted in it ;)

[claymore]

At last I have a Wheel, tyre, brake combination that all works together :)

[claymore]

A bit more done to the rear brakes, needs 3 more holes drilling, a plate cutting and welding, and that should be another corner done :)

[S70T5Chris]

Looks crap. :B_thumb:

[stribo]

I think it's safe to say braking won't be an issue. ;)

[claymore]

Apparently the T10 is in mid wales at the moment?

[mitchyboy01]

What is that Claymore?

[p fandango]

What features has it got? As it says telemetry I'm guessing you can wire in the accelerator & brake positions etc

[MoleT-5R]

thats easy .... accelerator....flat to floor ........brake used rarely .......lol

[claymore]

I can wire all sorts of things onto it, but initially it's just speed g force and of course tracking.

[claymore]

Rear brakes done on one side :)

I haven't been entirely happy with the Steel caliper brackets, so bought a milling vice for the drill and spent ££££ing hours making these :)

[martin_r_smith]

They look awesome mate, nice work.

[t5 pete]

Well worth the work and the effort Colin

[Hound]

That's impressive. Working with aluminium or steel... I couldn't even make them out of plasticine!

[Nealevo]

Just think you'll have to make 4 more soon :)
