Popular Post Blackngolds3turbo 217 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Unfortunately, we’ve been ridiculously busy for the last couple of weeks, so haven’t got quite as far as we’d hoped by this point! Although, after a long couple of evenings, the progress has been very pleasing! Please ignore the fact not everything is perfect, cobblers and their shoes and all that! Anyway, the icing on this cake will be revealed in the next few days... 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ekku 41 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Looks very nice indeed, but I kind of hope that I will not have to see that sight in my garage in any time soon... Quote "Older I get, faster I was" Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Blackngolds3turbo 217 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Another part of the project is now almost put back together! We are very pleased, and think it looks much better. Many thanks to @Steve V8 and Sharon for getting the carpets done and for all your help! The workshop lighting really doesn’t do this justice! 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Blackngolds3turbo 217 Posted September 6, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Thanks Sacha! Another update! Sorry that this thread has been moving a little slowly in recent weeks, work has been mental! We are certainly still working to our deadline of getting it to the 70th anniversary in Hethel. Things have made a big step in the right direction in the last couple of days, as I showed on Monday, the interior is almost done. The engine is also now back where it belongs - with a few little changes - which is one of the biggest challenges now ticked off the list. The gearbox was a true disgrace to the man who previously rebuilt it, but now it’s together again - once again back in its rightful place! The list is getting very short now, albeit still waiting to turn the key and hear it run - hopefully in the coming days! I will elaborate further on the gearbox when I’ve got a few minutes spare! 5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gold FFM cweeden 172 Posted September 6, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 I'm very interested to hear it, I wonder what impact those headers will have on the noise if any? Looks great keep up the good work. cheers -Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve V8 1,310 Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 I feel it may be more of a symphony than a noise. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackngolds3turbo 217 Posted September 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 @cweeden @Steve V8 we are hoping for a symphony of V8 sound that the originals didn’t completely master! Until we turn that key, we don’t actually know! If I can post a video of the sound, I will! Otherwise, you’ll all have to wait until the 29th Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM Mightymetro 275 Posted September 8, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 That’s manifolds look great . Are you going to run a chargecooler Alex ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackngolds3turbo 217 Posted September 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 @Mightymetro I won’t be running a chargecooler at the moment - I don’t think it’ll need it - although that’s not to say I won’t in future. It’s in the prototype/experimental phase at the moment so anything could happen! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LotusFella 112 Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Those seats are nice. What model corbeau are they? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackngolds3turbo 217 Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 @LotusFella they are Corbeau RS1’s, I believe they either sold out after my set or were discontinued! They fit absolutely perfectly in the Esprit. They are very nice, photos actually don’t flatter them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dclare 29 Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 BUMP...... How did you get on with the tubular manifolds - any difference in sound or performance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
