Hi Joel!

I can't wait to see this finished, especially as I've seen the other pics as well!

I'll pre-book my passenger ride around Rudskogen now if I can?

I think you should bring it to the UK this year for some of the shows. It would be awesome to get it out on the circuits, although I don't think the marshalls will like your driving style!

Failing that, jump on a plane and we'll just go out on the beer instead!

Talk to you soon

COLEYST200 · 23-03-2008, 10:22 PM

fuck a duck nice job mate

Zzz...Zzz · 23-03-2008, 11:16 PM

Thanks for the overwhelming positive feedback!

Nick you are in

And we defintately want to visit uk , preferably with the car with us

Just let us finish it and make it work properly, dont forget that i most ways , basicly ALL is new on the car and has to be fine tuned togetger , and we are not pro's... !

In regards to the marshalls, what are they gonna do? come after us on track?! ;-P

Here are some pics from our "easter vecation"

Hmm.. well in terms of working time i'd say about a year or so, but we had some struggling to get all parts and lost some motivation for periods , so it has been about 2 years in the garage now..
Remember that i dont work with this stuff, have a 11year old daugter i have to take care of, AND as the happily divorced man i am , I like to party! So it it not that easy to get time for evertything!!

Answer good enough?

Its a cracking forum they would love to see this.

My old mans got a standard mk2 Granny ghia. He aint into going fast but he will be keeping an eye on what your doing with this. Cracking motor

stu21t · 24-03-2008, 11:44 AM

where would you get an engine like that from? direct from konisegg?
how much would something like that set you back?

_DAN_ · 24-03-2008, 12:26 PM

Amazing.

Will be awesome when completed.

Quick question though: What type of metal are you using for the rollcage and the strengthening parts on the inner wings/rear suspension?

GINGExR2 T · 24-03-2008, 12:46 PM

Well thats just plain bonkers, Love it

Dan · 24-03-2008, 12:51 PM

'
No you can't, and the koneiggegg engine is not up for our power levels, so that's why we only use its special block, wich is very good.

The engine of this car is based on the 32 v 4.6 mustang engine, though 4.7 liters in the 'egg , and 5.0 litres in ours due to larger diameter liners, erm...and pistons obviously.. ;-P

All inn all,this is also quite expensive, i will not talk numbers... i just get in such a bad mood ;-P

I don't know what is is in english, but it is the kind of metal described for use within rollcage prodution in race cars. =)

There will be a tube from the roll cage down to the crosmember that secures sidweays movement , instead of the inner wings.
New inner wings are made from carbon fibre.

Hmm.... I sincerly hope for your understanding in that I don't want to go into details on that on the net..

We just don't want to go there anymore, that's kind of it..

Actually I have attended gatebil longer that the people who runs it now, so I recon it's time to do new stuff in the future (future starting this year!!) =)

Som more boring pics , we have been working with "finnish" before paint the last couple of days, and some rust preservation, but l8r this week it will get sprayed =)

Hmmm , how about my cam cover's ,lookin' good or what?! =)
