[BogBeast]

Don't know if it belongs to anyone here.

Could be a great deal for someone..

Hi BB, yes it's mine. I used to be a member here years ago, my old name was Raptor. I'd forgotten what a great place this is. Hopefully I'll be in a better position to start another build in the not too distant future, but at the moment "needs must"

Are the front rotors on the wrong way around? I deal with a lot of OE drilled discs (Audi, BMW, Porsche etc) and they are almost always handed left & right with the drilled holes swept in a "trailing" fashion opposed to a "forward" fashion.

[raptor22]

Hi Hairbear, the discs were installed by an engineer friend of mine as per Ultima and AP's instructions, with me helping a little bit. I have built 2 Cobra's before this but they had undrilled discs

[Steve_D]

Mine are fitted the same way.
The vents are such that air will be drawn in from the centre/back of the disc and flung out at the rim.

There's a very clued up chap on here, Steve D I think, he's the man to speak to about finishing ultima builds.

^^^^
Whoops there he is. That'll teach me to not pay attention

[raptor22]

You know, going through this forum again, not being here for a long time, I wish my circumstances were different and I could complete the build. You guys are great and your cars are awe inspiring, maybe one day soon. What I'm going through is a humbling experience, but I will learn and come back stronger, as I said to Russ, maybe one day soon????

[V8Dom]

im supprised you havent listed it for sale on pistonhead site too. might get some interest?

Good Luck, looks nice.

Hi Russ, first of all, thanks for all your advice, you're a good man. I did look into the PH classifieds, but Ebay frowns on "Advertised elsewhere". I've a couple of hits that are interested, coming down to have a look. But if it does not sell this time I'll take a closer look at what it's really worth, seeing I'm selling my other car, and hold out for that. Something I'm considering anyway after our conversation.

Very tempting I must say! By the 'other' car do you mean the Nitro? My wife has one (also in inferno), great old bus it is too

[raptor22]

Hi Stig, yes the Nitro must go too. I'm going to be driving an old mans car for a while, I won't say what it will be because I will probably get shunned

[V8 Vum]

Oh No, not a ROVER!
