You should go for a spin in it... it's hell fun.
Any plans to race it again soon? There's a day coming up on the 15th at Calder.

Nah no plans at the moment, i do love racing it thought, it's fun
I wouldn't mind going back with either a 2 step or a transbrake, because i know there's more in it, not many 9 sec passes happen off ****ty 1.60 60ft times like this did. I'm sure there's a couple of pounds of boost to go before she rattles too.
XGM-747X Nah no cage, it's just a street car i drive 2-3 times a week, 98 fuel, stereo, full interior. I don't really wanna take anything away from it's main perpose. I think if i were to build a car that was more suited to racing then it would be COMPLETELY different to this one.

I'm curious as to how the manifolds look when looking into the engine bay; whether you can see them running forward rather then back.
Also, love the muffler. Everyone look if you haven't noticed it.

05-05-10, 22:48 GMT+10#50 tim you can just see that the manifolds are pointing forwards in one of the pics, just the direction of the pipe coming from the ports to the log

LOL, the manifolds are actually facing the normal direction and the crossover is at the back I think the way they roll in towards the block is creating a bit of an illusion.
