It should be just over 700bhp / ton at the minute, weighing around 800kg.

It will be used on track to start with until it is set up perfectly, then the plan will be to get it road legal.

[Greg_]

I'm getting it finished in my own time, as I have an 18 month old daughter now and an 8 month pregnant wife.

[Greg_]

Yeah, I bet your bum dildo had 1,000bhp when you were 8?

[Greg_]

Haha, thanks for the support

I'm used to ronin now, I think we all know what to expect and he never lets us down.

[Greg_]

I haven't driven it yet. After the mapping I collected the car and put it back in the garage.

We are expecting our second daughter in a few weeks time, so that now takes priority.

It will be plugged in to a trickle charger and turned over every few weeks, until I find the time to make some custom wheel arch liners.

I drove it for the first time yesterday.
It is absolutely brutal.

[Greg_]

Update!

The battery died, so I fitted a new one.

(It's still not finished)



How's your bum, Frank?

Just been reading this thread again, it's quite entertaining lol

The car still isn't finished, but it is still in my garage and plugged in to a Noco charger...

I had to replace the battery again so now it has the Noco NPL30 lithium ion battery...

And I also decided to get the jump starter...

The Noco stuff is all really good kit.
