filfrederick Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Posted September 10, 2012 It needs all the red flexi-lines replaced by copper tubing with brass fittings.. and a few chrome nuts on it... and a wisp of steam escaping from somewhere... Then you can wear flying goggles and a full-length leather coat with "Captain Frankenstein" shoulder flashes! my thoughts exactly! have you been reading my secret corolla diary? Quote
altezzaclub Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Aha! Its a little dark, but The Captain dresses well! http://romanticallyapocalyptic.com/33 or maybe its more fun with brass mechanoids carrying machineguns and girls with big boobs! http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20041227 Quote

filfrederick Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Posted September 25, 2012 Thinking of selling this car/engine to make way for another project. If anyone has any serious offers send me a pm. Phil Quote

KaboomJohn111 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) I know this place has been silent for a while, but how did you get the timing belt to the crank (and from the old camshaft) any pics? Edited June 9, 2017 by KaboomJohn111 Quote
altezzaclub Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 Shoot him a PM- Basically the twin-cam drive bits were all mounted in front of the 4K timing gear, which is why you need the alloy block that carries the cam bearings and gears to stick forward. That's why it pays to be a machinist to build one... An amazing work of art! Quote
parrot Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 Do we know if this thing is still getting around? It was a fascinating project Quote
ke70dave Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 oh man this goes back a few years, yeah I wonder if its still hooning about. OP last visit is march 20, so maybe.... Quote
parrot Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 Filfrederick sold it going by the above. Hopefully he is still following this thread and can tell us what wizardry he is up to now. Quote
Taz_Rx Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 Pretty sure this would be who bought it Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 Sick find. I love Australia. Shirtless guys in the dark with a torch working on one of a kind engineering projects in the backyard. I feel pride. 1 Quote
Big G Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 So for all of the time and effort to build this beast does anyone know what the output of it was. Or was it a lets see if we can do it just coz we can. In the mid 80s i had a second job working installing engines and gear boxes in an engine import place heaps of cool stuff came in the containers.It was like Christmas when we had to unpack them. But I have a very strong memory of pulling out 2 either 3k or 4k twin came engines.I blinked and they disappeared into the owners private lock up. Then the old mechanic that worked there told me he had been to a place in Japan where there were racks of the things. he said it was like Aladins cave. #Believe it or not. Quote
