We almost worked through the whole night assembling and
sorting things on the cossie. there actually were times where i thought
its never gonna get done and now i almost cant beleive it is

At this point I need to mention that without the help from martin and greg (xsport) that were here to pickup the car and ended up working on it all day long I would not have succeeded. A BIG BIG BIG THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU

Enough bla bla, heres the pics that you have been waiting for :

almost bye bye car:

funny faces:

getting it tied down onto the trailor

interior fully done






proper rain slicks on proper wheels

dieter, the main mechanic






Martin and my RS6 watching greg getting stuff done

Mr. Xsport @ work


rear diff and gearbox coolers

surge tank:





bulkhead with fuel fittings and front diff pump

hydraulic clutch


now the car is going to Xsport, then SCS, Pro Alloy and to the exhaust people.....so be patient, the next pics are track ones

 

rear coolers are form an american company called fluidyne. they come with an airbox on one side and a fan.

i modified it with an airbox on the other side as well and put a duct into the sidescreen so that the air when driving is pushed through them.

at the same time, sorry no pic of it, i put a thermostat in the diff covers and gearbox to activate the electrical oil pumps

michael


hope that was understandable....LOL

 

mike,
from you i take overkill as the nicest compliment ever

 

gauges are smiths motorsport ones, not some cheap shit.
also, i got a digital aim dash with all of its own sensors as a main dash, analog gauges are options

 

i dont care.. ..i want a reliable fast track car and thats what this is

 

i just talked to greg @ Xsport: they have unloaded the car, its in their workshop now. all went very very well

michael

 

thanks Fuel Tank has 90 Liters cause I am lazy and dont like refueling

Not sure where its gonna be raced and when but surely it will be out there somewhere in the near future

 

another small update :

Greg from Xsport has sent me some pics of the work he has done. Also the car has now arrived @ SCS and as soon as mike r's engine is cured of his hickup, harvey will start putting mine together.

 

The front splitter, the doorcards and the little winglets are manufactured and fitted by Xsport Racing.
Greg, from their Southhampton Branch, did an immaculate job

He picked the car up in switzerland, we went over all the little bits and pieces he had to do (70 hours labour)
and everything came out exactly as bespoken, i could not be happier !!!

I strongly suggest to everyone to take their business there, i have rarely had such a great experience when handing
over one of my babies that i am really picky with

 

hey porkie

i know i kept adding weight and i am going to get the bill for it at some point.... anyhow i beleive that what i wanted has been acheived. i was more after a reliable race car that has all the options, no compromise taken. this, as you very well realized, did take its toll in weight.

i will keep changing bits to improve the weight aspect of things but the initial minimalist car is never gonna happen. i do have a new project in mind for that but llemme finish thisone first

on another note :

the engine spec has been changed again......
i have talked myself into 10studding it as well as nikasil liners (this more being the result of mike on the ring ). so the engine build
has just been pushed back another 4 to 10 weeks cause of the liners and the people that are backed up with work @ PerfectBore and Mountune

i officially admit to being the worst when it comes to waiting time....poor rainbird.....

 

NEWS :

my beam has finally taken shape Danny B, the metal genius, has come up with a new design,
lighter, better and stronger than any others and I will have one of the first stage 3 sets

heres 2 pics to tease u guys
