Massive Update / Building the one off Audi quattro Group S Car

[@woopimagpie]

Ignore those jokers saying "it's only a rally car". Last time WRC was in Australia I went to the presentation where you can get up very close to the cars, I was amazed at how well presented they were, they looked immaculate. And these were currently competing cars, not a one-off historical tribute, and what is clearly going to be an incredible machine. Apply as much detail as you want, because detail matters.

About those radiator fans and about stageing them. What I've found out is that you need to seal them from each other. If one is running and other isnt. The running one is sucking air from satlled fans opening. Radiator core has restriction so fan takes air where it gets it the easiest. Love your ideas and work. Keep it up. Fan from Finland🇫🇮

[@EPSDaveRowe]

That's a really good point.. I have never thought of that. 👍

[@CeeCeeOy]

@@EPSDaveRowe another as important matter is getting air to go throung the radiator at first place. You need to fab surroundings, ducts, spoilers, some kind of structures that funnels the air (and seal the rad to it) to go from grill openings to rad core and only to core. If th rad is just standing alone in open (like now on this video) air will aways go the easiest way witch is around the radiator. In really high speed race car pressure relier flaps can be add on so core dont get to much air pressure. But also on back side if the fans are small dia, they become restrictions to air flow

It’s not only a rally car it is a Audi Quattro it is the car God would drive .

[@eisich153]

This deserves more than a like. I don't want to know how many hours of development and building went into this car. Looks great and it will probably sound phenomenal. Keep up this pristine work! Greetings from Germany.

[@EPSDaveRowe]

Thanks so much as you know there are so many hours in these projects and I am loving every min of it.. Thanks for watching

[@makalu69]

Watched from day 1 - incredible progress. Can't wait to see / hear the finished article!

[@lfo414]

Cannot wait to hear it!

[@jameslovell863]

Whole project looks extremely well planned and executed. Looking forward to seeing it completed and performing strongly.

[@TheLabLimited]

Awesome build guys! I've built a similar machine on a lesser budget and retaining most of the original cars chassis etc. You are right, the fuel tank will absorb a lot of heat from the hot air coming from the radiator. Consider a fuel cooler to keep that in check as insulation will only do so much :)

[@EPSDaveRowe]

Cool, thanks! love your Nissan by the way. Keep up the good work

[@myxiok]

crazy how they built this car so fast

[@ramjet7089]

Love the build! Please do a build video of the 07K and all the internal and external parts you used.

[@Rkoeb555]

This is such an awsome Build . Can't wait to hear the famouse Turbo -wistle.👌

[@cuope75]

Ohh.. almost finish!!

[@C0RREB0RRE]

Looking Forward to hear it roar!!

[@ditopauli]

Brilliant work! Love it! Nice detail footages! Thanks! Will the stearing wheel be on the „right“ side? 😉

[@dspencer8827]

😮absolutely beautiful work .keep it up dave 👍

[@EPSDaveRowe]

Thanks 👍

[@richardsowter8914]

Having (nearly!) built one, would you do another? Asking for a friend who’s confident of those euromillions numbers! Awesome stuff!

[@ewrsteading235]

Andy Burton's monster ran a flexible 'rubber' floor so it didn't have to be continually replaced after enduring BTRDA forest 'gravel rash' - might be something worth thinking about if you're likely to do any rough events...

[@gafrers]

Great to see a new video. Fantastic Progress and always Quality. Grumpy FTW

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Grumpy come along nicely sir.. tanks for update we excited to see it's first run..

[@kajpirinen1831]

Have thought to paint the honeycomp under panel surface with protection paint like Raptor calked paint so that the aluminium surface is quite soft against sand and rock plasts what those wheels will sprey.

[@michaelkiessig8159]

Immer wieder spannend wie es weitergeht.Mich würde interessieren ob Walter Röhrl mal eingeladen wird den mal Probe zu fahren? Und ihn mal nach seiner Meinung zu dem Fahrzeug befragt.

[@gerthofma6092]

@dave, did you consider? And, as tired as you look, stay on track, eventho you might loose some tempo. We still love you and want you to succeed.

[@michalmusil6611]

Every single video about this build is so about my dream! Great.!

[@EPSDaveRowe]

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching

[@LeKyKu]

Many thanks for this update & video- fantastic work! It would be an absolute dream being in your position and building this car... deep sigh! Hundred questions remaining (curiosity and interest), but they'll surely get answered in the upcoming videos. 😊 Appreciated detail on the corner of the rear quarter panel: the little pink dinosaur (Grumpy???😅) over the scratchmark- love it!!! 😍 But one question: would you consider doing a livestream for firing up this car the first time- that would be more than amazing... 😁 Regards from Germany!!! 👏🏻

[@simonwinterburn595]

Fantastic project and love the videos. Learning a lot. Selfishly egging you on to find that 'motivation' and pull your finger out for that wiring. My wiring project is imminent and am real interested in your thought process and layout of your wiring job. Looking forward to hearing and seeing her running. Is it Pikes Peak in 2025 the plan?

[@EPSDaveRowe]

Awesome, thank you! for sure as I want to go to Pikes Peak with this car. Need to make it reliable and fast ;)

[@ealoken]

I would make a air scoop and a shield for that fuel tank, or you will have boiling fuel. Even with gold tape.

[@dspencer8827]

I wonder when the next video will be on this car

[@EPSDaveRowe]

Just filmed the next video today so keep an eye out on the weekend

[@dspencer8827]

​@@EPSDaveRowe thankyou .i cant wait . Hopefully the wheels are on

[@jeppenordfosskristensen7319]

WOOW 👌🏻🏁😍

[@amaliagrassi6870]

As always... 🔥🔥

[@AndrewSmith-qx2pp]

So😉..... Awesome Project.

[@davidbarnes6410]

It’s only a G.O.A.T car. 😊

[@josh.evs15]

Ready in time and would you consider taking it to Goodwood?

[@EPSDaveRowe]

For sure as I would love to have the car at Goodwood FOS. Need to get my finger out and get it finished LOL

[@SMAC364]

Imagine if Group S would actually have been allowed to run! 😂

[@EPSDaveRowe]

Thy would have been crazy times.

[@scottsvxr]

👌👍😎

[@dspencer8827]

Maybe use GP TURBO'S

[@EPSDaveRowe]

Turbosmart for the win 🏆

[@Daniel-iq5oo]

Why did you block off the back of the radiator?

[@EPSDaveRowe]

So the air goes through the fans

[@Daniel-iq5oo]

I would have thought that you would be limited by the fans. If the radiator was not shielded from the rear, the air could pass through the fans as well as the other regions of the radiator. I asked myself the question because I happened to see a video about the current GT3 RS yesterday. There, the fan is installed directly behind the radiator without shielding. But you're clearly more familiar with the subject, I'm no expert. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXnUpaqhfamLatksi=OzbIKyuEpRUDdvH-&t=55 (Timestamp included) PS: I love this build

[@hedwigtheowl]

any updates?

[@EPSDaveRowe]

Sorry for the lack of updates, I am just on with the cars wiring loom at the moment and its a big job as some knob has added a load of sensors to the car LOL. I want to make another video soon so keep an eye out

[@davidsantos5516]

Should take if too AUDI !!! To see....there thorts

[@martinhubinette2254]

I have always heard of this car being referred to as a Group B car, not group S. Then again, there is limited information.

[@Asdfconsulting]

The original was group b, this is updated and modernized. Hence the s

[@eddiezzzz8033]

„It’s only a rally car“, what is wrong with people? 😏

[@derekgreenidge8036]

I thought hotter fuel atomizes easier. Referencing Popular Mechanics adiabiatic engine

[@EPSDaveRowe]

Maybe on a diesel

[@jodytrela193]

Promo>SM 😄

[@mariotodoric5821]

Love then car. You are Talkin to much 😅😅

[@EPSDaveRowe]

Just turn the volume down then

[@ValladolidArde]

why the exotic fuel spec?stunning build this

[@EPSDaveRowe]

Fuel is where the power is! we will get the most using this fuel

[@ValladolidArde]

@@EPSDaveRowe I would deffo make this multi fuel compatible or multimap in case I need to pop down to the pub for a beer emergency on cheap ninetypoo octane. Beautiful work, thanks for sharing with the planet to enjoy

[@EPSDaveRowe]

LOL I like it... Pub mode
