Well, after a short interlude it's time to get the Ro back on the roadsmile
Here she is on her way back up to Monkfish to have the engine and box mockup installed and the rest of the TT kit removed.



Plenty to do.


I'll keep you postedsmile

Slightly bigger, but more conventional setup. The emphasis is going to be around airflow smile

In fact it's a bit more than just a turbo kit as the full exhaust is also included, a total plug and play mod.

Oooh, exciting! Another LS7 or something more traditional? Arnie has the secret recipe for reliable, cheap power.

It's now possible to run aftermarket with a canbus bridge to drive the OE instruments.
But that's a while away.

LS7 as its half built, wouldn't have iron for the power levels I want.

I know craig has used this method in an LS swapped RX8.

But either way hopefully you can crack 200mph in a standing mile smile
