Moved the car today after 2.5 years & pushed it to the front of Marks workshop amidst much micky taking. Will start work on it tomorrow.
We need to re-Spec the clutch cos Torque on the gas will certainly be over 850 ft-lb.
We will be trying 2 Turbos on the Dyno provided they can be fitted as the latest one is the size of a small planet. Mark wants the Specs kept off here but if they are used the Power will start with an 8 not a 7 or higher if the biggest one works.
More soon

Engine is under way & the new Turbo has arrived the little one is the GT40/88 which now looks very small. Mark had 3 sets of Pistons & changed to a higher compression ratio to suit the new Turbo.
As you can see the car is also underway & has been cleaned.
Have lots to do the last minute change of Spec meaning that not one of the pipes fit
