Ok, time to make an appearance after several months of lurking....

Ordered an Ultima last week after originally taking a Ted test flight in early summer.biggrinbiggrinbiggrin Needed to sell the Dax V8 first frown(was very sad after building her 6 years ago).

GTR, RED, LS lump (not finally decided on modded LS2, LS3 or LS7.... decisions decisions. 6 speed G50 to come.

Will need lots of help and guidance... shooting for an 8 month build time (from December)- so trying to get as much arranged as possible over the coming weeks.

Looking forward to meeting you... is there anyone in the Mid Norfolk area? Could do with a chat and a look at someones car if possible... I've a million questions!

Cheers. Paul

Hi Paul and welcome.
If the 6 speed is coming to you at a very good price then fine but you don't need 6 gears so don't go out of your way to find one. The Chevy lump has so much torque you don't need all those gears. I normally go up my 'box two gears at a time.

Hello and welcome Paul.

We now have;

Is it just me or do we have some sort of pattern emerging here?
Maybe you should ask for a 'sticky' ( that always sounds a little cheap but rather apt in this situation don't you think hehe ).

Greetings Paul...

..from one of the more...uhhh... mature..nay.. shall I say 'stable' elements of this the Ultima fraternity!

Well now!

6 months eh?

Now that's ambitious! ...

... I was staggered when old Crafty here (he - of sharp wit and repost) did his build almost as quickly I recall!

(I am sure he will be along soon laugh! he can't help himself!)

...and of course you will get to meet some rather (hunting for words.. carefully!) interesting and/but (delete appropriate option) very knowlegeable characters here...

....if your lucky(p)....Agggghhhhhaaa...hehe (Oh! I am so creased up!)


...then of course there is the DARK ONE!
..his reputation goes before him...as does his skill with pros..and anything BLACK!
...Now you need to be wary... you will know him when he comes to make your acquaintance!!


Oh.. there are so many... Mr Stig, Steve_D, but to name just a few...all chaffing at the bit to give you expert knowledge...

You will have fun.....and probably want to extend your stay on this site.....
