Enough of the nerdy stuff.

Amazing what you find down the back of the sofa these days:

Evo 2 engine bay:

Oh lordy, and then I found this - Evo 2 rear beam.:

Edit: adding this in (found it elsewhere on the site)

Cool pics chris - N248 is abroad and is for sale currently in Austria for a very reasonable 17K euros

http://www.rallyclassified.com/detail.php?cat=19&de=1698

Looking at that rear beam, not sure it'd be strong enough really......
And thats exactly what I was thinking for an airbox - get a short rad and stick the airbox above like that - methinks the rad at the RHS is an oil cooler (?)

Cheers

The skipmonkey range of leisureware is being finalised as we speak - still not sure though if we dare challenge the Badger-5 swimsuit collection stranglehold on the developing muscle beach sector though LOL

Love the airbox set up on the f2, I'd do that with t/b's (if I get that far)

got a picture of one in c/f somewhere

Shame they dumped the Lehmann engine in favour of one with 180bhp

Thats the weird bit - the spec sounds like a super-6 car (proflex etc) but its a wide arch car with F2-style front sumpguard and support...

 

[m0rk]

half does & half doesn't - 6 speed gearbox, but then the wheels look so narrow. certainly a weird one.!

Yes – presume that’s an oil cooler.
Another interesting one is the servoed bias pedal box. I looked at it at the time thinking ‘hello, that’s the answer’. In the infancy of the internet (1997) I traced the maker (Mosa Frein) to Belgium & it was later imported by Safety Devices.

The lightweight headlights are not those fitted to late Evo 2 cars. Can’t see a bonnet vent either. Front track definitely doesn’t look wide enough…Everything else looks ok.. Could have had a front end.. or maybe it’s a strange refugee car built up out of one of Rob’s six cars, Super Six or an Evo 1…. you just never know.

 

[M1KETDi]

i remember the yellow HOT SEAT rally/track Ibiza was P37 NVV and my kiwi 8v was P34 NVV.

 

[ZBOYD]

Makes me all dewey eyed for my old 16valver The F2s are such great cars, well ard.

Wonder how many WRC Cordys are still knocking about and what they go for on the open market.
