K24 Rwd Lotus 7 replica build

[Lotus K24 RWD]

I am putting a K24 into a Lotus 7 replica.

I am using a supra W series transmission with a cast bell housing with a 4.1 sierra cosworth diff.

The frame is a McGregor Motorsport custom chassis.

Engine was built for me by Car Aid in Christchurch.

Oversize wiseco pistons 13-1 comp
Eagle Rods
Cometic gaskets
ARP bolts all round
OBX quad Itb's
Evo 450 injectors
Link G4 ecu

So after enduring 2 earthquakes and having to fix my workshop twice I have finally made some progress.

I had the bellhousing pattern machined after I did the CAD drawing and afetr some minor adjustments I got it right.

Then off to the foundry to cast the 1st item. This took about 10 days and then I took it for the CnC machining at a mates place.

The final item looked great and fitted perfectly.

I then fit the motor into a frame and I was happy with the result.

I have some more work to do but in principle it will work and now I can concerntrate on building the car.

I have few other projects on the go as I am restoring 2 vintage race cars so progress will be a bit slow but I have to pay the bills first.

Here are some pics.
