Ha...yellow was always fastest!

I wanted a yellow CV8 but couldn't get one. Had a silver CV8, and then a black VXR. Blacks good, but still like yellow.

Trust me Black was the fastest - Tiler told me !!!( and Roger confirmed it )

Harry,

Only one fuel filler cap? That'll take ages! Why not have two side by side, then you can use two pumps to save a few minutes :-)

What's the estimated output of this beasty?

[Raggyman]

Hope you got a tow bar so that you can take a few sets of tyres with you... That thing is going to melt any rubber that makes contact with the road. This is going to be awesome to see. What a huge job that has been. Wouldn't have thought that there would be anything in the world that is going to even come close to even beating it. Hurry up rodger..

Turbos are rated up to 550bhp a piece, what it ends up producing I dont know as there are a few unknowns....

Simply take a known recipe which has been tried in countless American kitchens, add a true petrolhead with the right budget to do the job properly; sprinkle in a liberal amount of the automotive tuners' finest parts, neaded in by a few experienced and seasoned professionals, and bake in a large Australian fish at gas mark 1000. Remove the engine from the oven dyno when some of the ingredients are cherry-red. Then wait till the rubber starts to boil and serve up on a long road on a bed of molten rubber

Week 17

Oil cooler setup







Heat Shielding - the rest goes on once its in the engine bay, with a vent in the top to go out the bonnet (somewhere)







Roger is teasing me by suggesting the engine may be fitted next week

[VXR_Daz]

Any idea when it will be finished? Sounds like it might be a few weeks yet

Maybe it will be your Christmas Present!

On a positive note, I saw a picture today that showed the engine in the engine bay!

I wondered why Roger wanted me to photoshop that!

What on earth do you do as a job, just seen a thread about another potential purchase of yours, I want your job

Good one. I knew it was real though as the photo has Roger's trademark blurriness
