GT wing braces have been added
http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...en/photo-2.jpg
All downforce goes directly to the chassis and to the tyres. The tailgate goes between the brace and the wing mount so it is kept in place by this system also. No need for pins
http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...en/photo-1.jpg
The brace is removable via these clever joiners allowing the tailgate and GT Wing to come off in one piece
Lord latern Jesus.....! This thing is cronic.....! Must be unreal the hours you'v putten into this Darren.....! Your watching way too many cartoons..... :)
good work man cant wait to see this done its goin to be animal love them wheels

Savage Savage Savage... i hope this car doenst go off and hide in america for years.. irish fans derseve to see this at a few irish events :)
Few hours alright but it'll be worth it!Quote:

Here is a quick update for you guys on the Need for Speed D-Mac '86. Our mock up exhaust manifold has been sent to Martelius exhausts in Finland along with our front and rear coolant pipes to be ceramic coated. Here is a shot of the new Martelius manifold being welded in Finland.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...4-manifold.jpg
And here is the finished product. I think you'll agree they have done a great job and the new manifold will be at MCNSPORT HQ very shortly for final fitment.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...3-manifold.jpg
As mentioned above Martelius offer a ceramic coating service. The two treatments we will be using on the D-Mac '86 are a 'Thermal Barrier' and a 'dispersant'. The manifold and eventually the turbine housing of the Owens Developments turbo will be coated with the 'Thermal Barrier' which not only lowers the under bonnet temperatures but also prevents the loss of energy from the exhaust gases to the manifold and housing through heat absorption. The second 'dispersant' treatment will be applied to the intercooler and inlet manifold etc and this actually improves the metals ability to disperse heat and should lead to much cooler intake temps. The coolant pipes will also get coated, the hot pipe from the engine to the radiator with a 'thermal barrier' and the cold pipe from the radiator to the engine with the 'dispersant'
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...0IV/boxout.jpg
While the chassis was being painted, it gave us a chance to prep the motor and transmission for final fitment. For me no engine compares to rotary when at this stage. The contrasting colours of irons and rotor housings is just so cool!! We were working pretty hard as you can see from all the abandoned spanners ! LOL!
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...underbody2.jpg
Here we are at paint. Every process of this build is done in house so this is in my make shift spray booth in the corner of the shop. Thats is Dan in the back round who does all the painting here. The underneath of the car resembles swiss cheese from all the drilling of spot welds holding brackets that we deemed unnecessary.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...0IV/paint1.jpg
With the underneath painted its was time to flip it over and paint inside and under the bonnet. Feels great to get to this stage and get all the fab work done and now when something gets bolted on it can actually be tightened and wont be coming off again, hopefully for a long time.
Here is a link to the official Speedhunters update

is that an R154 box i see???
It is indeedQuote:

The engine is bridgeported yes:cool:
Fair play man, a real frankenstein machine!!......a man of me heart:D

Okay, the Need for Speed D-Mac '86 is back to its build bay in the shop which is getting more and more untidy as the weeks go on! Hopefully it should come together quickly and we can tidy up round here. You might notice the front tube extension has not been painted. This is because at the time the car was going for paint we did not have the intercooler and could not make the brackets to hold it in place and also the brackets for the bumper bar need to be made and we need all the aero on for that part of the build.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...V/IMG_3763.jpg
Bridgeported 13B goodness courtesy of Hayward Rotary in the UK. It has finally been bolted into its new home and not snagging on any part of the rusty old Corolla :-)
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...V/IMG_3765.jpg
It looks so much better with paint on it!
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...V/IMG_3769.jpg
We have to do our best not to scratch it while installing all our interior bits. In the next update the interior should be completed all going to plan.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...V/IMG_3771.jpg
This is the last shot of the rear interior before the view gets obscured by our custom radiator, piping and roof vent.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...V/IMG_3778.jpg
The rear axle is now painted and located with our 4 link system. It's hard to beat black and white.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...V/IMG_3827.jpg
Our custom top link is now installed. This should allow us to fine tune our setup quickly on track, not like the original two upper links that are very awkward to access. You can see the BOSCH pump and bullet filter installed ready to be covered by the fuel cell.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...V/IMG_3788.jpg
The tunnel and bulkhead were just second to the steering in the time consumption stakes but now theyOur MCN/AVO rear coilovers are ready to transmit more power to the tarmac than any other AE86 drift car in history. We wanted to run standard and just off the shelf AE86 suspension rather than a custom trick suspension setup just so we can prove just how good our '86 suspension is.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...V/IMG_3802.jpg
Likewise at the front. We are using the MCN/AVO adjustable front inserts inside the original struts with weld on coilover conversion tubes.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...V/IMG_3797.jpg
This has been the most head wrecking part of the build, the custom steering. I hate and love this steering rack in equal measure. It took quite a large amount of time to get everything working the way we wanted it to, but if it all works out it should perform really well.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...V/IMG_3856.jpg
We made a custom steering column so we could throw away the over complicated Toyota one. A new gear lever has been made for the Supra transmission and we modified the 16 inch ASD vertical e-brake lever to just the right position for me.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...V/IMG_3847.jpg

Right so, that is it for now, time to get back to work. It should start to come together pretty quickly now. I cannot wait to here the first brap from this thing!
Speedhunters link http://speedhunters.com/archive/2011...ae86-pt-v.aspx
Wow!!! now thats a tidy piece of work! the e-brake is brilliant really is the best angle to have it at!
Serious machine , power to weight ratio of the scales
Wow that really is a work of art - i cant describe it in any other way.
Serious serious work there.
work is amazing. any pics of it with the turbo :p, seen it last night some set up..

It's update time again Speedhunters and a lot of work has gone on since last time. When Paddy arrives we scurry around to get stuff out of the way and stuff in the way that we want included. He seems to have caught that moment quite well.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...N/IMG_4050.jpg
The Owen Development's turbo is becoming a more permanent part of the build and very shortly it will be bolted in place for the final time. The downpipe has been made with the intercooler piping currently being done. The oil and water lines are also nearly finished and we just got to fabricate the intake pipe and then it is complete.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...N/IMG_4074.jpg
Wiggens clamps will be used on both hot and cold sides of the intercooler and since Paddy was here the screamer pipe is done and attached to the Tial 60mm wastegate.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...N/IMG_4075.jpg
Speaking of the cold side, here it is and it will be completed very shortly.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...N/IMG_4071.jpg
The exhaust manifold has returned from Martelius Exhausts in Finland and it fits in without touching the steering column. Phew !
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...N/IMG_4087.jpg
The interior has come along nicely and I have to give a plug to K&N as they hooked us up with air and oil filters on very short notice and we are very happy to be running the best filters in the world!
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...N/IMG_4086.jpg
The racing dry cell battery has been mounted under the passenger seat for optimal weight distribution.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...N/IMG_4100.jpg
A lot going on in this picture, our carbon AE86 dash has been fitted and equipped with Defi gauges and controller. You can see we made a custom steering column and got rid of the ugly Toyota one. Pedals are now in, as are the fuel lines and the ASD e-brake has been positioned to my preference. I have decided to install the aluminium centre partition panels for testing, these were made as templates for the carbon fibre panels and will be replaced with carbon fibre at a later date.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...N/IMG_4110.jpg
Here you can see the tubular intercooler mount and i think this picture gives you a good idea of just how far back the engine has been positioned.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...N/IMG_4126.jpg
This gives you a better shot of the aluminium partition panels and fuel cell firewall. The fuel cell will be filled through the quarter window. The rear radiator is now bolted in place and the coolant pipes are also connected.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...N/IMG_4131.jpg
The pipes returned from Martelius in Finland, with their ceramic thermal barrier and dispersant coatings. One is a matt black finish and the other is gloss black which looks pretty cool. You can see the fuel cell filler mounted through the quarter window here also.
http://assets.speedhunters.com/Image...N/IMG_4133.jpg
One change in the suspension is the custom lower control arms we are making. Because of the amount of steering angle we have, the wheel now hits the tension rod if placed in the normal ae86 position so we are making a custom "A" arm which will give us the clearance needed.
Next update will follow shortly and will give you guys a look at the awesome aero for this AE86.
D-Mac
