Litton Corse build with 2.0l Lancia 8v TC

[Cadami]

What a fantastic and interesting history. Your dad is a solid guy to hold on to his dream for so long AND to hopefully see it through to completion :-) Looking forward to the updates and completion. There's plenty of IVA help on the forum.

Thanks Cadami, I'm sure the IVA info on here will prove to be invaluable

Cheers, Michael

Whilst the engine was with Guy Croft, we fitted the car with a spare engine with a view to transporting the car to Lance Pritchard at OJZ Engineering in Lincoln for custom exhaust fabrication.

Pic of the rear of the car in Lance's workshop, my Dad is on the left, Lance on the right. Very pleased with the finished article.

Great to see another Corse emerging.
After ten years or more close to and around the Corse 'project' I have to say I don't think anyone knew or knows how many actually got manufactured and/or built into cars.
Good luck with the final stages.

Hello Michael,

Welcome, nice to see the car getting completed after all these years. I had a rifle through your FB gallery & the build looks very thorough with some interesting modifications/additions.

If I can start the IVA list with a couple of points-

1) Radius end on tail pipe
2) Emissions, how do you intend to approach this? Do you have a V5 doc that tallies to the new engine?

Regards

[Cadami]

The general rule is build it to a minimum spec with no extras. Less to fail and do for the retest........

Thanks Cadami, yeah we're well aware there are a lots of requirements for the IVA. If anything, it would be good to pass first time simply because the closest test facility is now Norwich after Ipswich closed last year - bit of a trek to do twice.

Cheers, Michael

Hi Enzo, thanks for your kind words.

Yes I have seen a pic of your 131 - it looks awesome. Have you got any videos of the car on Youtube? It would be great to see some.

Guy Croft has done all the work to the engine, he has said on his forum that it will produce 187bhp. Is your 131 in a similar state of tune to this? Here are some pics of the engine during build:







Thanks, Michael

He guys,

Some pics below of the ally fuel tanks loosely fitted during summer 2013. The left-hand tank holds 45 litres (9.9 gallons) whilst the right-hand holds 39 litres (8.7 gallons), totaling 84 liters (18.7 gallons). At 25mpg (here's wishing), the car's distance would be 467miles. Fuel pump can also be seen loosely fitted.


And then again over Christmas 2013. Accusump can be seen on the right with external oil filter mount. Battery tray can just been seen to the left of the left-hand fuel tank. Also pic of the Mocal laminova loosely fitted.


Ally radiator is made by Pro Alloy.
