Sold the Meglio Cup Car... Now project 205...

Right...
How heavy will this still be... I'm starting to guesstimate... anyone else have a 197 on a diet?

Full glass and metal panels

Original weight with "100kg" driver was 1290kg

Driver -35
Stripped interior with r019 rollcage
Stripped dash and matrix - 15
Race heater + 2
No AC comp or idlers -~ 4
Racer wheels - ??
2 fibre seats + 8
Stripped engine bay with carbon box and li batt - 30kg (so much crap came out!!)
Carbon scoop +.4kg

I reckon about 1200 with the driver @65kg and fuel

Circa 1100 minimal fuel & no driver is the target I think

That's +50 on top of a cup racer which also has metal panels and glass

Am I realistic?

Who has some scale shots?? :wink:
 
Hi guys,

Here's my big update on the car. I have finished the interior, the camshafts are in and the header tank from a Dacia installed. I have also removed the A/c compressor the cheapest way possible!!

Car should be going for mapping in the next month. For now a bit of loom tidying

Any further pics needed please let me know

A/c delete is the 172 pulley/racer
4pk810sf stretch belt
Idlers and tensioner not needed

Battery is the lithium ion magnetti marelli

Heater is from T7designs

I'm by no means a professional, but it's the best I can do in my little garage!

Top work doing it all yourself.
I want a sabelt steering wheel so much but I'm buggered if I can find one. Don't think they're made any more :cry:

Whats the header tank there? Looks like a good fit.

2013 Dacia sandero mate... in the meantime tbrich is working on a berlingo one but not sure if that will fit!

This one is all good though..

Hi,

So mapping is booked for January at Engine Dynamics

In the meantime fitted the supersprint decat in the manifold, makes it similar to the cup racer manifold. Fits nice and sounds good!

What foot rest is that mate (Drivers)? Been trying to find something similar to which I have no luck!
 
That looks great, did you make the carbon part yourself?

Nice project, keep up the good work.

The wee panel is from Maxi Motorsport, along with most of the carbon parts, the scoop is from flaca

Thanks for reply, I've been looking for a panel like that.

The one on maxi motorsport page looks to have the square marks around were the radio fits but your pics it looks very smooth, is it smooth were you have your switches?
