Including engine ? wow.

 

[centoproject]

Nope just rear end sub frame and half shafts so the back end will be rs4 and I will still be using gsxr engine with it all just the ending will be turned 90°

Thats gonna be sticking its back end out like a dog with worms!
Does that come with hubs?

 

[centoproject]

yep comes with everything and i will do a center chop and make it less wide by about 10 inches then get it welded at my old college my worry is the size of the wheels lol and large brakes

 

[ycming]

so is the engine mounted in place?

 

[centoproject]

nope not yet just hung in same position as before i realised that the way i was intending to make the suspension would not of worked too well under acceleration the rear may raise up and be unstable plus fabricating brakes and drive shafts and diff location would weigh quite a bit so subframe welding or bolting in will be stronger and rated for much higher power plus i can buy standard audi parts if they need replacing

 

[centoproject]

hear is a picture the seller listed not best but you get the jist

 

[Honeymonster]

Probably a bit over engineered and maybe even a touch on the heavy side for a bike engined Cento, but one things for sure if it's off an RS4 you won't have to worry about it breaking lol.

 

[centoproject]

i will try to shed weight in other places or maybe a second engine ? haha

 

[Cento Painter]

Are you doing this as part of a Btec project by any chance ?

I hope thats a Busa Gsxr......... lol.

 

[centoproject]

nope no btec finished college now always been a home project but the guys at college know their stuff and the resources that i dont they used to make and design some chassis for lotus and nope high revving is not what i'm after not enough torque and the old school gsxr engines have good potential plus loads of info and data from some bike forums its a tall engine long stroke so only redlines at 11k im trying to get it sounding like a car engine if the 750 dosenot have enough poke then you can get bigbore kits from the usa then it will be a 1200 not after a huge speed mainly acceleration and fun

now this is hardcore

[centoproject]

Right got a small amount of stuff done today back end is on wheels as I'm going to turn it around on weekend with some mates when I say its on wheel what I really mean its on a small trailer axle yep a small trailer axle bolts straight on lol just to rot at then its just coming of

You could always cut a few holes in the floor at the front and Flintstone it.

Cinq maneuvering today without touching the road

 

[centoproject]

Happy to find this waiting for me on the drive after a short day at work

 

[centoproject]

right probably not going to use rs4 diff half shafts hubs the plan is to use all front end sporting half shafts hubs and use the rs4 subframe with a 11 inch chop ibn center effectively same with as the standard sporting oh and this subframe is lighter than the standard one aluminium more or less everything except the main subframe oh and loads of alignment points (concentric bolt heads and washers with key ways in them) this frame is immensely strong and the sale of the diff and half shafts will pay for my engine management and other goodies

 

[Honeymonster]

God damn PP just make up your mind and get on with it.

Everyone hovers over the button hoping to see some progress and instead we get to see you've changed your mind again...

However using as many Fiat bits as possible would seem like a wise decision.

Now, decide what you're going to do and crack on with it before the nagging granny turns up.

 

[centoproject]

Progress will resume tomorrow its not like this is a easy build lol but I did have an update to post but forgot to take pictures plus I need vag tools now just to remove drive shafts ! So many tools why not stick with one

And another fiat has been added to the collection

 

[centoproject]

Oh yeh ! Picasso power
