I would love a trip mate. Maybe we should sort out another evening in the pub. Looks like the last one has shut down though.

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.

Got some more stuff done on the car, like the mandatory stripe in carbon wrap, also cut out some holes to allow cooling for the oil cooler, temp fitted a plasma gauge for oil pressure, and fitted an electronic boost controller to unleash the stage 2 power (I think I may have spawned something of a beast)
Running 14 psi boost at the mo, room for another 3-4 if I want it.
Do not have a front No plate on....it is behind my seat awaiting being pulled over by bib......some pics

Should have done this ages ago, fitted a small car fire extinguisher on the seat back between the seats for very easy access.
Have invested in a new gear knob and it has a secret function .....it is a wimpey passenger ejection seat button cleverly disguised as an engine start button, the pyro's I bought from the North East Aircraft Museum and are good for 100ft.... need your own chute tho....this was another reason for fitting the fire extinguisher

I finally have all my bits to be able to fit my water/meth injection which will allow me to run at roughly 20 psi boost, making this all a rough fit at the moment as I want to enjoy the car this summer and then over the winter a dash re-hash will be on the cards with a new speedo and gauges, got the speedo but awaiting delivery of the gauges


Vmax ....just let me know when you fancy coming up
