Chassis is back from being finish welded, suspension getting hung and motor being mounted.

 

[Trimmy]

That is pretty sweet for sure...

sweet!

This is awesome.

How does one go about getting the engine to run standalone like this? I would think there would be some major hurdles to jump.

Also, what kinda of transmission is that? Porsche? Is some sort of adapter plate user to bolt it to the ALH block?

Pardon my ignorance, but I would love to learn these things.

It is a VW/Audi 01E 6 speed transmission used in those cars that have the engine longitudinal instead of transverse, such as the Passat B5 & B5.5, Audi A4 & A6, etc.

Stupid easy to make an ALH standalone. TD Tuning or Malone can set up the ecu for you. The wiring is extremely simple in a minimalist install like this.

As sailor said, it's a non quattro trans from a tdi audi a4, a6, or passat from europe.

Oct 26th, 13 hour at VIR.


On wheels for first time

That is sweet.

Your going to be ready for the 13 hour this year? See you there, pretty sweet ride. I'll look forward to checking it out.

 

[Shiftlink]

I think this car is probably already finished, show us the goods.

 

[Growler]

Why so much tire in the front? or are those only to make it a roller?

 

[1854sailor]

I think you got it right Aaron. They don't look like track tires, or wheels for that matter, to me at least. I might try to make it down to VIR to check this out.

Class?

In which class will this car be competing?

That's the entry list so far. It must be Ryan Ellis, that's the only RCR car I see. ITE is NC regions catch all class.

Unlimited I'm assuming.

Ryan is driving our other car we're taking, not sure who's driving this one.

Nice job, Matt! What engine management bits is it getting? I assume you got a pretty tall geared trans?

 

[1854sailor]

Looking good, Matt! How current are these photographs?? Is that a certain B4 that I see in the first picture of the shiny green block?

McNish and Kristensen are in between the WEC Fuji and Shanghai LMP1 races that weekend...

 

[DieselZappa]

Nice work! I like the bellcranks for the shocks. How did you do those long bends for the main tubes?

p.s. don't forget the Gurney Flap on that rear wing...

Today was playing with body work.
