P-spec Ii 260rs

[pure_methamphetamachine]

Thought I'd stick the build pocess of the second evolution of my 260RS.

My car came off the road in February after an incident involving 2 blocked injectors, an incorrectly added 8 degrees of timing advancement, 30PSI boost spike and 8,500RPM.

So I left it off the road to do the car once and for all (audio, aesthetics, power).

Sound control central and new instrument panel in:

The front of the car is partly back together!!!

The boot is SO close, yet so far away...

I have this thing for stainless steel. Every bolt in the engine bay is stainless allen key head cap screw. Every nut and washer stainless. Whether is is for the engine, guards, brackets, clips, whatever, it's all stainless. The doors are held on by stainless bolts, the interior panels throughout the entire boot are stainless, so too is everything with the audio. I needed to make a battery clamping system. I had several ideas, then binned them so I could use stainless.

Yes, I need to go to Stainless Anonymous...

Battery clamp

Circuit breakers

New plenum...

The wiring nightmare....

This is the charging system and sub lines. It's kind of messy, but at least this way it is very easily tracable for all the wires (IGN, ACC, front battery, rear batteries, EQ's fibre optical lines, EQ IP BUS line, solenoid, voltmeter earths, ammeter earths, fuse breaker earths, fuel pumps relay system, system remote relay system...) The list keeps going...

At least it is all hidden...

The front is back on. All parts repainted or replaced. Stainless cap screws as per usual...:

Door panel made. It's been dropped off to get covered:

Duel fuel filter holder:

The custom battery clamps / distribution blocks:

Stereo all works. Rather loud... Needs a serious tune though. I'll do that when the car is finished

Making a cold air box (template) that seals on the bonnet itself. There is surprisingly little room in an engine bay with no engine in it. Height was the issue really...

Feet...

Like a glove:

There a couple of mm spare to allow for the sealing system:

Templates getting cut then thermal procoated.

Pistons and rods:

New forged full counterweight crank:

HID installed:

Drivers:

Passenger:

Everything I need for oil, water, vacuum and pressure lines:

Twin Plate Clutch with Chromium Molybdium Flywheel:

Boot complete:

Door panels done. They look like arse, so I am going to remake at Christmas...:

Passenger:

Drivers:

The intercooler is kind of deep (115mm):

So I modified the bumper:

Figured I may as well move the oil cooler again, and will modify the bumper more by adding a side air scoop / duct for the oil cooler:

And now the bits that bolt onto the plenum are shiny too:

Cut the bumper

Got the initial glass section in:

And I have my PnP head back:

all those photo's make me dizzy.

shall be one hell of a 260RS (and debt for that matter) when its done however..

that engine crane is a bloody good idea!

i assume it lets you adjust the angle of the engine? i had issues as i dropped the whole engine and box in mine, and the angle had to be steep to get the box under the tunnel, then i struggled to pull it back up and drop the engine on the mounts.

PS: what are you lurking down there for dale? still trying to clean up the mess you made?

[Stinky Rooster]

Jeez Mitchy, can't a guy have any secrets?

[Yunis]

[sleepynight]

all i can say is... WOW

*wet dreams of modding mine like that*

awesome work!!! cant wait to see the performance from this thing!!!

[GoldZilla]

Most of us here own a Stagea, but this is undoubtably THE Stagea to rule all!

Good work - that's gotta take a hell of a lot of dedication, money and sanity.

There was a heavily-modded 260RS for sale on J-Spec a few weeks ago, but it's got nothing on this monster!
