I have a 962 Aluminum tub chassis built and designed by a Aircraft frame technician, all the panels etc are also in CAD form, also have a lot of other information needed to build a complete car. Will also sell just the CAD info if you want. Please checkout my other 962 videos as that car was built from my CAD drawings and will sell all the drawings needed to have every part of that rolling chas...
Off to get the exhaust finished !!!

The wiring I knew would take a while seeing as we through the kitchen sink at the electronics . But we are now very close to finishing the wiring … Plumbing now to finish once it comes back…
My electrical nightmare is nearly over…

Turns out that 0.7” lift is pushing the limits some of the of the shelf heads… Had to machine the tops of the valve guides to make room for a valve seal that would not get crushed at max lift… Oh well better finding out now than later…
It’s Back !!! And shiny

Time to get those annoying little jobs done like building up the top end of the motor … Light weighting some of the Billet parts before final Electro plating etc…. But it means we are getting close now..
My God it fits….

Just a quick check that all the Fuel Tank appendages all fit and don’t need moving before filling it with foam and welding up the ends… Happy at least that no changes are needed.
All 4 fuel pumps all inside one tank… also with internal surge pot.

Hi Clive, when you started this project and the thread was on piston heads, I recall you listed the improvements you targeted over the car that inspired it. Did you mange to get any more head or legroom (recline)?
Well my roof line is higher than my Old GTR as my chassis is taller and the roll cage is pushed up into the body. But at the same time I have no dropped floor so head room is about the same for now. I do have a little side project for my aero testing program though once the car starts giving me useable logged data on the suspension travel at speed. The floor from the front bulkhead to the rear bulkhead is flat for now, but I have an idea that might drop the seat down 25mm and at a slight angle to produce a under body wing profile which if it works will bring the center of pressure about 400mm further forward. The MK2 chassis is looking quite different again due to the Price of G50 Turbo Boxes now going past the price point of some new Transaxles you can buy.. So a new floor design is happening because I can't help myself...
Im surprised that DIY lights are street legal. In Europe You need a certificate, iirc, even if You make only a trailer.
In some places even use of LED bulbs in the place of conventional ones is illegal.
The perks of living outside of the EU 😊
@@jareknowak8712 strange as I'm sure they sell the RS in Europe... but none the less yes here there a little more relaxed.. I have some Lotus Elise lights that I was going to use but I think I may fit them to my Esprit now..
✌️
How much are you selling the CAD files for?
$1500 for the Aluminum chassis with all the paper work shown in this video, the tube frame is more complete as it has all the Billet uprights and adaptors all ready to send to your favorite machinist. etc and that's $2500.
Sad to say this car since it got sold by the owner has not faired well. I would love it to come back to me and I could finish it for the present owner but that's not for me to decide, I can only wish it home to get finished by me.... Fingers crossed
Amazing work. Your car is the inspiration for my next build.
Thankyou Sir.....

at the expanse of strength and reliability N the minute U try n change caster U change camber with your idea! Nice thought zero reality!
after watching several of those V16 Bugatti YT shows, i am 100% certain they say not to make the rear diffuser angle greater than 11° or it won't be effective. Anyway, this is more interesting to see the entire process, i appreciate you sharing your progress.
I was told keep it under 10Deg so mine is 8deg well into the safe zone for not loosening the attached air. If you read further into it they also say going to deep at the final exit can also cause problems as the vortex's at the sharp lower edges of the sides struggle to help the upper surface of the diffuser once to deep. Without CFD or a Wind Tunnel its hard to say exactly, but a Go Pro and the old wool and tape might give me some idea how its doing. Well that and the Suspension Travel sensors I can now datalog. Hope to do a few videos on the development of the Body once I can get some real world data... :-)
This car looks amazing!
Looks driveable too me!
Nice work, she has a mean growl.
Wonderful action.. free of slop. ✔️✔️✔️
Hot!
Like a rifle bolt❤
Can’t complement you all enough on the quality of the build guys . Good old school airframe engineering and everything looks puka . I’ve been building and designing my own race car ( bmw E36 GTR space frame siloette) with double wishbone pushrod suspension etc , made all my own molds / patterns chassis etc I feel your frustration 😵💫. Loosing the will to live is a regular feeling 😂. Here in the UK quantum are going to be my choice for the dampers and seem very knowledgeable , helpful and a small enough company to knock up a tailor made set . I’m also probably going to get custom made silicone hose sets made for a few reasons . 1 reliability 2 neatness and 3 , it’s probably cheaper and quicker than alloy pipes and silicone bends joined together . I’ll probably end up having some BMW style quick release connectors made or cut the factory BMW connectors off the rubber pipes and the fit to new silicone ones . Talking to Viper performance UK at the moment and seem pretty good . You could probably make your own steel mandrels too . Alternatively I may print some powder 3D sacrificial cores . I have a Z-corp 3D printer I purchased years ago for lost wax casting patterns and that uses a starch based powder and binding agent. They have some content on YT , that’s how I found them . Min order is 5 sets but plan on taking to them nicely for a trial set instead of having to order 5 sets 😂🤞. Good luck with the build .
Its not gonna be a trike is it? Shit i hope not.. looks like its gonna ve sweet tho.. as long as shes stanced right, has a good fire suppression system and the skeleton has good bones..
I can see the Thinking.. No bud it has 4 wheels. just check out my other videos for what its going to be like
I remember seeing this car when i picked up the engine from your shop, love the updates, its coming along nicely
Woaw great to see I can't wait to get my act together to get mine too, are you making a template for the wiring
all on PC bud
Besides banjo fittings for fuel, you can also look for o-ring boss 90 degree direct fittings. Good point on the anodizing isolation too, makes me want to double check the ground setup on the Blunicorn using the same alternator.
Wiring video would be interesting. I've given up on the Fury and gone for a Simtek body control module.
interesting not herd of that module before will have to read up on it
@@DPro Its Simtek uk, very helpful guy, developed himself I believe. The have a youtube channel outlining what they can do. I think they make looms for one of the smaller bespoke manufacturers. Jay also said that they do CANbus ooutput so could work with the DASH4 pro. I went for the basic version, I think he does a few types with varying channels.
What a cool project! Good Luck! 😊
👍
👍
Ooh weekly updates. Yes!
Clive, can you actually call it a kit car? I would call it a full custom build.
Scratch build would best describe it. 😃
Looks great!
Excellent. I’m so pleased this is all coming together.
Oh wow is that a kit or a 962 restoration.
Not a Kit bud, I built it from scratch...Built with a 997 GT3 motor. All the chassis etc was built in CAD lots of videos on my channel and there's a build thread on PH. just Google "962 with a GT3 Heart"
👍
Awesome work! So much work left to do, but it feels like the end is in sight.
Tig welding is lots of fun.
Great stuff Clive. Can’t wait to see this come together.
Are you going to weigh the chassis?
I haven't but I can do now.... But would have to weigh the other components with it as the Adaptor plates and Diagonal bars etc all are part of the structure.
Cracking tune.
Incredible fitment! Top notch as always!
Happy new Year man, hope the best for you 🙌
Should be a big year for you. Can't wait to hear it start and see it drive.
I like your concept but you don't seem excited or happy one bit.
You sound like it's an effort to do this video...
Si pudiste a echarlo andar? Supiste a cuál era la falla
In the end it was a timing belt issue. Was 90 degrees out but engine was good no bent valves...
Can't get the size, how big is the fuel tank?
Roughly 90Liters
@@DPro nice low down central weight. Lol just watched a Larry Chen vid of aussie burnout car 80 litre of alcohol for 1 min 30 sec burnout, different world.
Why that adjuster in the middlebof the tube? It makes it weaker because it has less than half diameter.
Thanks for the earthing tip. Looking good!
It’s really coming together now. Exciting times.
Remind me…how is the front clam locked? Aero catches or electronics released. I’m thinking that your steering angle signal could be a condition for release of clam or dash message if using chassis PDM?
Manual release for now, but could be controlled through PDM virtual Logic yes
Looks exponentially better every time you update! Can't wait for the shakedown vid!!! 😎
Great progress Clive...can't wait to see the Dragon fly and hear it roar!
Great update but I had issue with the video loading around 10:48 and multiple places after that. Not sure if it’s just me. Also I think it’s a good idea too to run fiber glass until you get through prototyping. Keeps cost down for sure.
