Are you going to baffle around the pump.
PhilTo prevent lost of fuel when cornering etc. Hence why I having a surge pot built into the new tank. I don’t think there’s anything on the RR pump to prevent this ? I’m sure someone here used a pump assy from a MX5. Ive got a 4inch diam pipe im fitting inside the tank, and the pump will sit inside the pipe,it will act a bit like a baffle for the pump Dave |

Hi Steve Does sound rough, but if it work it works. The pump does look a bit exposed but if you have had no issue, I might fit it there as it will be easier than above the axel. Regards Barry |

I thought I had something UNF in my tank.. I converted mine to a banjo fitting. I'll see if I can find out what I used. /edit 1/2in UNF. It's been in there for about 3 years without leaking or falling out so even if it's wrong it's close enough! |

Slight update. Now allowed back on the farm. It’s going to be moved inside one of the barns early next month. Once I get the subframe (Modified to fit a Escort Quick Rack) back on. So progress should be better this year. |

Slow steps forward. Changing the front lower arms to rose joints. Modified the location they mount as well. Bit more work done on the subframe. Question. What’s the distance between the crossmember brace the rack bolts to the ground. |

Finally getting back to this completely mad project. Spare engine and Supercharger is now with my mate who works for a Enginering company that has some rather tasty and complicated CNC machines. Who will be machining brackets for mounting the Supercharger. Possibly machined a new pulley based on the Petit Supercharger bottom pulley but with 6 ribs and larger. And a revised alloy top inlet manifold. Bit more strengthening done to the subframe. CAD (Cardboard Added Design) design fuel tank in progress to sit between rear turrets (As the Works Escort Style) Ordered some more parts from various suppliers to keep this project going. |

CAD fuel tank finally in its last shape. Just need to measure it up and put the dimensions on paper. Will talk to CompBrake about final tweeks. Fuel foam and baffles pump and filter mountings etc. Drag strut are now adjustable for length and rose jointed. Manage to pick up a NSF door from Alun ( Via James Thank you Both) as the bottom of my door was rotten. I’m now doubting if she really spent the last thirteen years in a barn. |

New Lettering Sprint. 231 is the standard BHP for the RX8 6port. I’ve actually got two sets and the original test sheet. So Three sets in all. From the guy that does the 135 ones. |
