Jus talking on MSN to Rob whos doing my mota about getting my turbo sent to him to make sure it actually fits between the cam cover and the suspension turret, and he goes "you seen our towcar we usualy use when taking the cars to the drags?"

Then sends me this pic--



Also DannyB etc might like this-- hes part way thru building his new roadlegal drag car...

Gonna be roadlegal, 1000bhp, well under 1000kg even with a basic stereo, and in the 8s

RSrussell

Ah so we finally find out whos doing your engine

Stavros

Didnt realise it was a secret, maybe i should blank out the logos then

The spec is tho, they gave me some options, and i said no and told em summat totaly different And then said hell if your doing that, we may as well make you this too So its kind of snowballed into somthing really silly now

RSrussell

Well i never knew. lol

I thought they were jap though
They have the 2nd fastest road legal 4wd don't they?

Stavros

From New Zeland, 2nd fastest roadlegal 4WD in NZ with a 10.1 and they only spent 7k on it including buying the car
My car is much much bigger spec and far more powerful than their old R32 tho, more like the pickup truck hes currently building.

Avances R32 is the 2nd fastest 4wd in the world on slicks- (8.1@171mph)

Croydon Wholesalers (From NZ) R32 is THE fastest 4wd in world on roadlegal tyres- (8.5@166mph)

vroooom ptssssh

Hope that aint their garage in the background

RSrussell

Have they got your car then otherwise why would you need to send them the turbo

Stavros

Dave- Dont think so, but even if it is, you ever seen Martin Hadlands, the Reyland workshop? WAY worse than that.
One thing you learn with car tuning, the people with the fancy looking premisis are rarely the people who are the good tuners!

vroooom ptssssh

nope, never saw Reyland workshop Steve! i suppose your right with the last comment!! seems to be true

Stavros

Rikki- No you goon, they not got my car

But when hes making the manifolds its all done on a jig and installed with the engine in a R32 enginebay to make sure it all fits right, no point doing it by guesswork and getting it wrong.

There was only a 5cm gap either side of the turbo between cam cover and susp turret using the GT42R that someone else i know is using! (im not)

I have to have the battery etc in the boot now with the inlet im having made to make room for it all

RSrussell

Ah i see I was gonna say, hope you sent it by plane, otherwise the sea water might rot the old snotter

So have you sent him your engine then?

Stavros

Nope. No need. My m8 Lee did with his, but no point for me.
Nothing from the bottomend, not even the block or sump, is in my new spec, and im getting the head/cams sorted here once we decide 100% on exactly what we gonna do.

Fastmaul

This is so true! people who go to my tuners for the first time are like..oh, is this it?
Gotta say though that is the Worst name for a tunning shop! RIPS!

ADUSR33

Stavros

Erik- Rips is kinda a word for Fast over there, ie "That car really Rips"

Mikey- Ah but the 'ring is full of rich folk like yourself, lol, so its to be expected really.

Porkie- I heard hes got a nice new place at last, like you said, hope he keeps building good stuff AND not mega money all of a sudden, lol.

AnusR32 - Well we never usualy talk pics, we talk whats happening with my money, and he thought id already seen it
