heaps.....

sump has small crack so needs to come out and get welded
custom plenum needs some tidying up and then fitting
bonnet needs some work to fit custom plenum and some vents for heat extraction
finish off plumbing and electrical for oil coolers
fit traction control
fit boost controller
fit water injection controller, pump, etc
pipework for compressors to throttlebody
finish off heatshielding around exhaust manifolds
switchable silencing for exhaust
adjust fuel tank to shift swirl pot out of the boot and adjust fuel filler
fit Harrop diff and half shafts
tidy up some body work
weld seams in the rear for strength

WOW... man that is brilliant.... can't wait to see it in the flesh... definitely one awesome beast.

Had a quick look around this beast today... very impressive the work being done but I dread to think of the cost knowing how long some work takes when its to this standard!!

Aha! So they were working today - must have been avoiding my call

The main question...were they working on the car??

[S600VXR]

Well sort of... got shown the oil cooler that I need for mine when you have proved it!

So when are they going to let you out in it...? If only to prove the oil coolers work..

[ringram]

What boost are you planning on running Oz? 12?

After researching BSFC on NA, Turbo and SC engines, Ive decided that while forced induction will likely give more power Id rather save the 20-30% fuel per BHP that the NA setup will give.

[SS HSV]

Your worried about fuel Richard?

[stevieturbo]

It only uses a lot of fuel when you put your foot down.....


I can live with that.
