The Tupperware Turd will be back!!

[TeamTotalWankel]

You truly are the Swarfmeister Mr owelly!! Good work!!

Are you staying 2WD or going 4WD (XR4x4?) then mate?

[owelly]

4WD was the plan but it means having to cut off mhy left leg. So the 4x4 will be going in the bumfinger......

4WDs deffo the way to go. Just make it an auto so you don't need the left peg

That's a cracking engine, if it goes anything like it did in my 205 van, it will be hard to catch(until the car falls apart that is)

[owelly]

It's a big old engine!!
Obviously not as big as this piccy shows. It's not really in metres but I pressed the wrong button. Again...

[Jaffa]

Does it fit though ?

[owelly]

Dunno. How big is the Alfa V6?? I may be building a new chassis around the engine...

[Relentless Rob]

Should be a shoe in chap and about 20Kgs lighter as well.

So if the stories about the type 9 are anything to go by, for the 2011 challenge it'll be the box grenading as opposed to the engine?

I'll be watching with nervous interest, that's the same box I've got attached to the Cosworth V6 in my Cortina.

[Jaffa]

The same box was attached to the Alfa V6.

It broke 2 diffs, a half shaft, and two engines, but the gearbox was fine.

[Relentless Rob]

I may have a spare 52 Inch axle with transit (V4-bombproof) diff' if my eBay roulete goes according to plan.

The same box was attached to the Alfa V6.

That's very good to hear. I know the tupperware turd is a lot lighter than a fully dressed Mk5 Cortina but if it's still manageing to break diffs and engines are letting go first then there's hope. After all, the Tickford Capris still used the same gearbox despite there increased outputs.

Any progress on 'Pug ugly' Mr welly?

[Jaffa]

I'ts only taken you two months to come up with that gag, well done to you

[TeamTotalWankel]

Why thankyou jaffa I aim to please
Is it that time of the month already?

PS. I was actually wondering if it was progressing at all
