Think these are the first proper pics I've seen of this! Like the new wheels, seem to fit much better than the sig pic ones.

Where the funk is the turbo mounted?

I think the 405 FT/LBS of torque it makes more incredible

Can't wait to have a good nose around this next year.

WTF?

You don't seriously mean that this is somewhere near done?? LOL.

Gus, this car is an epic achievement and you know I think its rates VERY highly amongst the best RST's ever built. Yours and Luca's. Properly awesome. Just hope its everything you hope for, I know it will be.

Loving the 400lb/ft pub figure though.

405 actually mr c

now mines another pint

cheers for your comments, means abit coming from someone who has built a stormer and knows whats involved

to be honest i dont care about the number chassing, times / speeds it achieves

its built for me to enjoy and not bust a gut trying to gain an extra 1mph or loose a second

i will give it all a bash but aslong as it brings a grin to me face then im happy
