Kid up our end makes those manifolds.

Spec is accrilite pistons, steel rods, god know what the turbo is, as he did have a GT28, until he swapped it. Quaife diff.

TBH the turbo is too big I think, though it comes on boost quite early. At 7psi it has loads of pull, at full boost its plainly going to be bonkers, and probably unusable.

What's with the mini battering ram on the front? Is it getting prepared for a raid?!

that has the makings of a bloody weapon, but come on, what IS he thinking of. That front end just looks ghastly.

All its going to take is a flicked up stone / local pikey etc to put a lovely hole in that intercooler!

think I could live with the fact the IC has to be on the front, thats jus life sometimes u need to do things for function rather than asthetics! but the big duct imo looks daft, no a need for it if u made a proper airbox imo.

Looks good otherwise! Turbonetics turbo's, rings a bell...hmmm

Hes a bit stuck for room really. I'll get some better pictures next time I go up!

Danneth, which road looks familiar? Ones on his drive (and I'm sure you have never ventured up here, its in a proper random place next to the M1 ), and the other pics were taken in the middle of nowhere near j29 as we stopped for a herb break on the run in mission

Matt its running a L8

Must say I'm not a fan of the cone going there, and I would paint the cooler black. But each to there own!

Shit, sorry dude!!

Yes he has built it for the strip. The same car used to be an XE on throttle bodies, so he has done his day racing round town

Having said that I'm sure he will give it a bit of stick on the roads, but its going to need a a nice stretch of road to really do itself justice.

Run in, then down to NMS for mapping. Think from calling him up its about a 3 week wait, so really he wants to be calling him now, as it will be nicely run in by the end of the month

Looks fast and sporty. I hope your mate knows about the possibility of water getting in the induction.
