Who did you seats? Also where did you purchase the center fuel kit?

omgjon 06-22-2020 07:27 PM

I bought the leather from Spineybeck and Auto's International did the interior. The fuel tank came from Aase.

Where did you purchase the Recaro seats? They look like Singer seats.

Might be my favorite of the bunch. So subtle and classy. You guys are the elite of the elite - I don't think anyone but Singer even comes close to this level of quality.

Jon, how's Sarge doing?

John

omgjon 06-29-2020 08:49 AM

We lost Sarge to coyotes 9 months ago, very sad!!! I have a new Jack Russell thats 9 months old named ZEKE.

jjeffries 06-29-2020 08:59 AM

So sorry to hear! My condolences ... he was a beautiful character ... and my knowledge of him was only based on your joyous photos on F-Chat.

Best wishes for Zeke to enjoy a long and happy life.

John

Amazing work. Did you make the tow hook? If not, would you share who does make these please.

I sourced the tow hook from Patrick Motorsports.

GG --- You beat me to it...Still might be the nicest trio I've ever seen...And...It will be worth more than it brings...An almost 90 large engine...An almost 2 large steering wheel (The only proper one for an RS/RSR...)...Only the best parts, and absolutely the best metalwork and paint, ever -- period...I already hate whoever owns any of them...

Clever! I'm pretty sure I can deduce from that picture what's going on there. The missing MFI drive wheel on the back of the left cam is a big fat clue :)

And yet the fuel lines seem to come from the MFI pump. How in the heck does that work?

Clever work from Rothsport.
The MFI fuel pump is hollow inside such that anything else might fit inside.
Use your imagination from there....

Jonny042 04-30-2021 02:54 PM

They're basically using the MFI pump as a fuel distribution block, from what I can tell. The lines you mention terminate at normal efi injectors. I think they also hid the TPS inside the compensation section of the pump.

It's a pretty neat setup, but for such a raw/racy machine I honestly think they'd have been further ahead going with a true MFI system for period correctness and badass factor.

I'm a bit biased, I guess :)

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I don't like fake: if they had managed to repurpose and use the oem pump that would be cool. But they could build an awesome engine with MFI - and as you say, correct, raw and badass.

Ps Love the sticker - did you have it made?

skinnerd 05-10-2021 03:42 PM

This engine is miles ahead in reliability, fuel savings and drivability over MFI...and making similar if not more power. Sure, old school MFI is cool, but it's tough to beat modern technology. ;)

You have to ask yourself how many modern cars or race cars use MFI? There...you just answered your question.

Yup, I had the idea so had a batch made up because I wanted one for my car!
