Where did you got the "special" battery cable from?

[Aram]

I got it from a friend in the race world.


Picked up the collector tank today, I already had one but this one has the pump inside it.
This is to cool down the pump, like it does in the original tank.

SS brakeline nipples:

Did some work on the radiator today, same treatment as the FMIC cores..



Making some cuts:



Flattened:



Difference in height:



One side finished!:





Did some minor mods to the feul surge tank, now a pic of it put together:



Mike had finished the endtanks for the FMIC, now it can be welded up!!

[robokill]

tw do you have enough room for all this stuff? I mean this big ass IC and the radiator ?

[Aram]

Len,

I do have a bit of room there, but it is limited.
With reshaping the sides I already made them alot thinner, and I need some space for the shrouding behind it.
Some thinking about packaging is needed though.

How difficult is it to weld those endtanks to the IC?
I have a volvo 440 core that i plan to use on my 360, but the endtanks are impossible to fit in there. I'm wondering if it's worth keeping it and welding different endtanks on there, or to just buy an ebay chinese IC.

[MartinS]

Insane welding! just crazy.

Just a question? Why you are building the IC by your own? you could get a realy nice one, for a decent price. As I see that build nothing is j4fun so what's the reason?

[Aram]

@Ivan,

I haven't had them welded on yet, hopefully this week.
But making your own endtanks does give you the oppertunity to make everything fit perfectly to your wishes.


@Martin,

The quality of factory IC's is generaly far better than "cheap" asian ones, that's a big reason to make my own.
Plus it's nice to do by myself offcourse, probably the first and last time I have (and want) to make them.

[projectrollas]

where can i find the surge tank?? i would like to have on for my upcoming project.

work is looking awesome. keep it coming

[Aram]

The surgetank is home made.
And thanks for the kudo's.


The 2 IC cores are welded together, but I found out today it was leaking, so we will adress that later:







Dismantled the first brakecaliper for painting.
Empty:



Dust seals:



Pistons:



I got the 2006 hubs now, with PCD 114.3.
It should have larger bearings on the front ones, which is always nice.
Unfortunatly the front struts won't fit anymore:



After the wintertyres the car now has semi-slicks without having moved an inch:



When changing the hubs I also put in the rightside brakeline adaptor in:
