iainc Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Really happy for you mate, glad its all coming together after this time. Sounds like a weapon!! There's some of us scratching around with 300-odd bhp and then you boys come along with your big boostin' turbos and trick blocks and kick the ball out the park. Hat off to all you guys pushing the limits, I remember when people were aiming to smash the 350bhp barrier!! Cheers, Grant Yeah, I mind when people were talking about scoobs with 400bhp and that was "bleeding edge"... nowadays it seems almost a normal figure to have in one (well... when you look on here anyway).

When is the dino day for all these new big powered cars would be nice to see the power on a rolling road plot. They could always come up north and take a run on the rollers in Ellon and help the Santa Cruise fund... plus take the long road home via the west coast roads? Link to comment
fai17 Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Some further work is being under taken and a change of wheels is in order. Here the intercooler end tanks has been cut off and new ones fabricated by Meercat. The inlets and outlets are pointing towards the engine and upwards.This is done to cut down on pipe work and aidthrottle response. Rims are Rays Gramlight in 17inch.thanks to Wilky and will be shod with track day tyres Yokohama 048r or R888 Enjoy Link to comment

st3ph3n Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Looking good Peter. Well done to Wilky for getting a chapmanism in too. I always like - "Adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere." Link to comment
