Andy, Are you still building the Supercar ?? would love to see an update on that thread

that is still sitting in my garage awaiting me to do more work on it... thinking of scrapping the bmw V12 and using a bmw V10 as I recently bought an M5 and the engine is epic and revs to 8250rpm so perfect for my GTT and with some turbos and internal work I recon I could get 1000bhp from one

I already have the Motec M800 so money already spent and not looked at anything else ... its interfaced to the stack dash already so i'm not going to change

Ah ok, its very good anyway. Apparently they have just released all the extra add on features for free now?

really? were did you hear that as i'm looking to get the extra features.

I might have it wrong, maybe its only for the evo version.

This is such an epic car and you should be applauded in what your doing! Not many supercar owners have your level of commitment and mindfulness!

Cannot wait to see vids and new pics of the beast!

Well done and keep it up!

not updated this thread for a while as I have a thread on the noble forum that I update... anyhow I have been busy on the car... I decided to teach myself how to make carbon fibre parts and then made the rear clip from carbon.

Standard clip is over 30kgs... my new self made carbon one is 9.6kgs with some trimming still to do.

I also made a new dash and have had a loom made so I can fit the Motec M800 ecu I want to run the car with and I will then push the power up a little as it will be monitoring everything properly... its also having a complete colour change and I will be having my trademark stripes over the car in exposed laquered carbon, obviously the rear clip is easy seeing as its entirelly carbon but Im not replacing the center tub so I had it taken back to gel coat and infused genuine carbon onto it making it a composite tub rather than wrapped one lol.

Also bought some new lightweight wheels and a new massive rear spoiler as used on some Corvette GT race cars Im told.

anyhow pics.

Simply awesome.

Great work, Andy!

Will the GTT be getting a full carbon body?

Awesome stuff, in reality how hard is it to do carbon work ?

[Don1]

Simply brilliant work. It's threads like this that make me realise just how unskilled I really am.

I love the nonchalance of that -- and can only marvel at the skill that must be involved!

[andygtt]

Ok well lets be clear I had no experience with carbon until 2 months ago, so this is me teaching myself... get the right products and advice and its achievable by anyone.... break down each stage of what I did and it doesnt seem hard.. polish a part... then apply wax... paint some gel coat on.. etc etc

Also remember Im actually just a bean counter, if I can do it, anyone can lol

I love these threads but hate them at the same time because I have neither the time, money or expertise to do such a thing.

Awesome
