1.8vvc Track Car Mission Creep!

[jambojeef]

Evening F-ers.

Introducing my 1999 MGF VVC which was going to be a little stripped out track car for some summer fun.

Purists please be aware that the following images contain scenes of a graphic nature.

Somehow it has now morphed into the Audi 4.2 v8, 6 speed ongoing nightmare you see before you!

Updates to come, I'll post links to pics and vids

Caged over original vvc

Rear panels removed to allow coil over fitment and weight saving

VVC and most of rear removed, temporary teasing of the F with a 1.8t BAM engine before realising it was too small.....

That's better..... Audi ABZ 4.2 v8 and 6sp transaxle nestling in their new hone

Umm, slightly nuts.

Longitudinal? Interesting. Have you got it mounted a bit further forwards than the original engine's position? Just wondering about weight distribution.

I've often thought about a V8 swap, but I was thinking transverse because a V8 is roughly the same length as an I4. And thinking about it is as far as I'll ever go

Brilliantly mad! I love it!

There’s going to be a bit of a stretch to the wheel base?

Over the original concept, thisengine transplant does indeed look like scope shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiift!!!!! Really hope you can get it finished!
