Once we get the charge temps under control we can release the rest of the power

Car looks and goes really well!

Do you think its an issue with the charge cooler or is it removing the heat from the water?

A bit more gold....





And at goodwood...

Oh my word, that's some CNC porn right there.

[M4CK 1]

Wow that's real automotive porn.

I've always had a soft spot for the mk1 exige ever since drooling over it in Evo when it first come out then when the father in law bought one and let me have a go. With its k series pop and banging then flooring it to 8k still remains with me and the way it handled and connected with you was immense.
This takes one is of the best driver cars and turned it up 150%.

New exhaust finished as the old one was too loud with forced induction...





And on the dyno being remapped...

Shifter mech is finally done....,



It's now bolted in the car ready for a TD at anglesey tomorrow.

This thing is insane and that shifter mech is incredible, well done!

[Turn7]

Aside from being pure Pron, what benefits does the new shifter give ?

[thatguy11]

This whole build is completely ridiculous...So. Much. Want.

That CNC machining work is pure filth as is the aero kit, looks totally nuts but suits the car perfectly.

Absolutely top marks, I doth my cap!

That wouldn't look out of place in a Zonda...

Truely amazing work - I can only hope that I'll see this car in the flesh one day.

Awesome work

The shift action is now fully adjustable, long to short throw and height, the action is now silky smooth & so very precise, the original sheet metal standard thing flexes like buggery! This doesn't plus an added bonus is that front box section keeps the passengers legs safely away from the gearshift on track when cornering.


Thanks for all the positive comments, was going very well today on track at anglesey, shifter was perfect, until it ate the clutch so that's a job before the next TD.

Pic of it fitted ....

That shifter is stunning and probably cost you more than what my cars even worth. I love this thread. look forward to seeing more.
