Proper flowed inlet and exhaust for a B18FT

I've got a temp solution, but if nothing appears, I'll be arming myself with some bends, and making them myself otherwise!

piper cams also have a regrind , you need to make lash caps for it to fit tho .

ive got an engine mount jig for my locost with a redblock , if you need any info/dimensions just ask .

ive got some .dwg patterns of the redblock inlet/exhaust for laser cutting - ill see if i can get some flanges made for the 1.4/1.7 - anybody any to hand ?

another idea is to make the rear spring base/platform with a spindle , so it can adjusted for camber . Im still gonna say proper IRS not de dion isnt to hard .

but definietly stuff like brake discs/pads/hoses - sport systems air fiters - that sort of thing will always sell , but youre market is always limited .

What engine is the piper cam intended for?

The jic for the locost is that not going to be different?

I think the gut who does my exhausts will be a ble to do the plates without any problems.
The manifold he made for a mates asrta GTE proved to give a noticable gain in power over the (janspeed I think) manifold that was on it.

hiya , its a regrind , but they can do turbo or NA for 1.7

price worked out at £160 , i thought cat cams were doing one anyway ?

the redblock jig , follows 240 mounts exactly , but it can be altered - im sure ive a pic somewhere .

It would be intersting to see what profile they gring it to as I can get regrinds done for less than that.

360 mounts are suspended and the 200 ones are compressed so would not be a direct swap or am I getting the wrong end of the stick?

a picture will save us !!

the fabricated engine mounts are a direct replacement for 240 ones , but i can alter the way they work . its just i have the bolt holes and everything jigged up .

well I could get regrinds for less but that was the retail price .

Some styling parts would be nice like clear indicators n rear lights!

this is really taking off isnt it?

im still looking for a GLT!!!!!!!! (someone point me in the right direction!!!)

yeh brakes would also be nice - like that other geezer did with his impreza brakes and all that - if you could get some carriers made up and whatever else so people can easily bolt on the bits needed without having to machine/fabricate stuff?

oh yeh almost forgot: a short shift kit maybe?

Clear indicators for the front have been done, so you should be able to order the lenses individually now the inital setup has been covered and the first minimum order fulfilled.

This looks like a nice car - was tempted to buy it myself. Mk2 fenders and wings, mk3 alloys (unfortunately) and a B200 under th bonnet. he has better pics if you email him. Less than 64k on the clock too.

Looks interesting that one, although it won't have PAS, and also bear in mind that it will have the high compression engine. Which means more low down grunt and slightly more power

But also means you're condemned to a lifetime of Super Unleaded/V Power/Optimax

Hmmmmm............Id be keen for,

rollcage,
sumpguard,
engine mounts,
Front clear indicators
front and rear strut brace!!

That car's been on ebay before, about a year ago - wasn't that tidy, think it did have some rust. Shame it doesnt have the nice Mk2 bits being so late

nah mate ive seen that before and i dont like it. a bit too old for my liking. something around the late 80's or as late as possible would be better for me.

there must be someone on this forum with a glt for sale!?!?!?!
