New project - stunned_monkey - 06 Dec 2006 Almost ready to go back in. - DMC paul - 06 Dec 2006 Mmmmm Looks good, and interesting. One point.... will you clean it before it goes in .................. **Gets coat and leaves** - Chris Hawes - 06 Dec 2006 I vaguely remember you mentioning that this client wanted the black and white coatings on the engine. Can you tell us all about the spec? Is it rebuilt or crate? What it was before you started on it and what it is now? Where there any dyno figures before the work was done? Any other intertesting information? - dmckelv12 - 06 Dec 2006 I want that exhaust system!!!!! sell me one for £50 - LOL - stunned_monkey - 07 Dec 2006 I'll release you all from your suspenders.... It's a 3 litre Renault Safrane engine going into an Alpine GTA Atmo whose engine blew. EFI setup like Richard's twin turbo but an otherwise bog standard Saf engine from our white one that rob killed. The car is white with a black interior so the colour scheme kind of made sense and nobody could think of ever having seen an enging done in art-nouveau style! That exhaust, despite being only mild steel, is actually more expensive than our stainless system! - Chris Hawes - 07 Dec 2006 Why did he go for perishable mild-steel? - Rottbott - 07 Dec 2006 Don't listen to him, I didn't kill it. - Chris Hawes - 07 Dec 2006 you did prang something a little more special didn't you :?: :oops: - stunned_monkey - 07 Dec 2006 We did tell you not to use Sports mode....... He "went" for mild steel because that's what you buy when you go to the Alpine specialists. - NickT - 07 Dec 2006 It's a shame that's not going in a DeLorean for a Demo car........ - stunned_monkey - 07 Dec 2006 If someone wants to fit one in a DeLorean, I'm sure we can help, but not too many DeLorean engines get blown up. And performance seems to be of less interest and "originality" seems to be the watchword. The original engine from this car was basically a B28E with triple webers. Dyno'd at 160 at the wheels and a stonking amount of torque. Went like stink and drank like a fish.....
