XUD powered kit car

[Wor Jimmy]

Nah it's not for sale Pump mods will follow shortly

I actually had a useful experience with the DVLA recently, which was nice. V5 will be sent off soon along with a letter/photos to update CC and fuel type. I've done engine swaps before but the engines I've used before have all had engine numbers. I thought this would be a big problem but apparently not

I've made an inlet plenum from scrap steel. Not the prettiest thing but for getting me on the road and clearing the bonnet it'll do fine for now, and there's less intercooler pipework and less mad bends. When the car is on the road I'll work on a V2 plenum that's lighter and flows better.

My headlights have been modified (from a motorbike so beam pattern had to be altered) and I've made a good start on the gearbox remote linkage. As it stands I have to lean forwards to change gear, the gearstick would be underneath the dash if it was attached! So the linkage will bring it back about 8". A fuel return connector needs to be made on the tank, then fuel lines. Working through the list nicely but dreading the wiring Not that wiring an XUD is hard it's the mess that the loom is in at the moment, needs an overhaul.

Nice to see them gas bottles are useful!.. cause they hold feck all gas wize

I shall continue reading this thread now

Great thread mate. I was talking to Dean, saying I wanted to make a DT Trike (due to being on a bike licence) so he sent me this to give me ideas
