Okay now i got ya jack wen you told me about this vl, man thats fast well done to all contributed to this, an on another note a35/40 should go into the nines with no probs as ive seen them real in just under 400rwkw an thats way more than enough to dip into the 9sec bracket.

Very impressed with what these turbo's can produce,Ive heard Rajab's ran 10.0 with a 600hp GT30.82 too.... It just goes to show that with a decent cylinder head you don't need to go so big with the turbo as the engine is becoming more efficient. Mark

well done to the owners and people who helped put this car together. Wheres all the people that bashed me down once saying a 35/40 won't run 140mph or 10's even, with a MANUAL put your hands up

Lol if I build another VL i'll keep my RX7... wanna buy another car as a daily as well, so then i'd be stuck with 4 cars until the VH was sold. My next VL won't happen til next year..
