Nice car. I’ve got an S60R that’s fairly modded, coilovers, braces etc. Running bigger injectors, D088 intercooler and rad etc. Running around 340 at the moment, but going to Shemtec next month for a K26 hybrid, should hopefully see around 420 keeping it safe. . Done a few track days this year. Surprises a few.

Sounds good. Yeh my car was mapped by Shem. Took about 5 months to install a fuel pump and map the car (Still not complete either, decided to pull the plug as I feared roads would not exist by the time he was done with it) I dont think he has much experience with the P1 platform though but I know he has tonnes of experience mapping your engine.

Great guy and mega busy in high demand. Kept me up to speed with everything through out the build.

Is that just a deceptive perspective or is she a giantess?

hahaha defenitly deceptive perspective. Thats was a mega long drive! Cotswolds in the UK to Czech Republic close to Ostrava in the mountains .... not a single bit of tarmac climbing.

Another update from the garage. Car just dyno'd at 414bhp I think they said at 1.6bar. They just wanted to check the engine was forged before pushing more, but I have a feeling the 550c injectors will limit soon.

Next on the list which is becoming more urgent is a good LSD, any good recommendation? Ive heard mixed thoughts on Quaffie and pointed more towards gripper?

is this the AWD T5?

No its a FWD T5. I am thinking about the AWD conversion for this car but at the moment im pretty happy with it as is and just getting a good diff on.
