PhoneDrome · April 24, 2004

This is cool. I'm working in Kiel. Not far from the trailer company. Will get some Ramazzotti for the race-car-baptizes.

Will get some Ramazzotti for the race-car-baptizes.

GOOD IDEA :winky:

ive worked in Kiel, at the sailing school.............As a diesel fitter, i hate marine engines :shutit:

PhoneDrome · April 24, 2004

Noooooooo really? Can't belive it. I had to make my round (touch) over the sailing port. Such a small world.

Then you know system "WOLKE"?

Monster-Mat · April 24, 2004

Then you know system "WOLKE"?

nope????

are we talking the same school,

where the British Army keep there boats, its not far from the "Marine" Kaserne

anyway Kiel is a real nice place, lots of very good bars :winky:

PhoneDrome · April 24, 2004

Its the same place. Where the SeaKings are.

WOLKE: Wasser, Öl, Luft, Kraftstoff, Elektrik:

WOAGE :P Don't know what to make of it in English

We had to learn the sequence so we won't forget to turn on the cooling. But this is off-topic.

Monster-Mat · April 24, 2004

........................... But this is off-topic.

yeah......... :D

.but the cars finished, so thumb twiddling is taking place.........

well there are a few bits and bobs need doing............

Fit roll cage padding

Finish 3 wires

erm.....................thats it

SHAHZ · April 27, 2004

Looks well good -- i do like the black rims

RoadRash · April 27, 2004

Looks good! :winky:

What I'd be interested in is what the weight of this car is about.

Must be a lot lighter than a stock IS200, right?

Bazza · May 5, 2004

comments on the race car :

it looks better in real life, them pink looking bits really are orange :winky:

it sounds awesome

it goes blooming quick

a job well done,

congratulations mat

and thanks for the drive :D

Wosket · May 5, 2004

yeah some of the shots are a bit misleading as it looks rather pink instead of dayglo orange.

cant wait to actually see it

............ are there any links to the instal of matts rover v8? i remember him talking about it.

Also if anyone has any info on the out of the box "ford cammer" engine i would be very greatful

el_gencer · June 16, 2004

I've found some info on the ford cammer engine, not sure if it will fit in an is200. it is a rather "big block".

http://www.performanceparts.ford.com/parts...rtKeyField=6787

or there are other engines for sale at this site, and most of those seem to offer crazy power.

TheDon · June 16, 2004

i was just thinking of that engine coz they dropped one into a focus!

cheers for the links

TheDon · June 16, 2004

well a brand new standalone engine from ford is $5000 with stand alone engine management! 400bhp.

with conversion rates so good thats a little over £3000.

maybe it should happen. shame to put a ford lump in there tho :o
