Mad engine scientist
Not really. It starts allright, but to get it to the show Joel didn't have enough time to hook everything up properly... so it's driveable-ish. But a few more days to sort out the millions of small gremlins, and then we're talking...

Okay Guys, it has been a while since the last real update, and the reason for that is simply due to that the laws og physics only give us 24 hours a day..nothing else 
Car is like 95% finished, few people understand the full scope of how incredible much work it actually is to get all details working when everything is built from scratch.
Engine has revved it's first few rpm's and we had it to Oslo Motorshow at the norwegian trade fairs this week-end
The response has been , hmm...how can I put it, simply outstanding, BIG thanks to all of those genuinely nice and interested people who came and took a look at the car, we where glad to see all of you
And then I'd like to say that, remember this is only a hobby, and from our point of view it it is all about having fun, meet other people that share the passion for cars, make new friends, be crative and last but certainly not lest - DARE to go your own ways!!
We had a great time at the fair and it is with a humble attidude we take take into account all the positive feedback we get for the work we've done!
The paradox with this car , is that we have done just about everything we can to HIDE all the tousands of hours og thinking, engeneering and construction we've put down into making this car what it is today!
And now we enter a new phase of the project, wich will, because of the nature of the build, incorporate just as much analytical work to get it all fine tuned to work out as goos as possible.
I couldn't have said it better than the Swedish car magszine "bilsport" put it yesterday :
"This is possibly the greatest protest against conventional car building we've ever seen, and we love it, please come to the ELMIA show with the car next year"
Big thanks to Ford Club Norway for having us at your stand
Here are some of my pictures from the week end :
Cheers
Joel & Ingar
Now, it is soon time for Armin only , in holland, for some celebrations
And let's finally be a little bold for once.... - HELP US GET THE CAR ON TOP GEAR NEXT YEAR, head to head with some supercar!!!!

Enjoy yourself at ARMIN ONLY mate, you all deserve a well earned break.

Allraight, we're not dead!! :P
After oslo motorshow, we sent the car directly to the paintshop again, because there where some flaws , wich the car really does not deserve to have in it's current state...
And it is still there... :S
Hopefully we will have it back again the coming week end, vids & sound is the first thing I really want to "give" you guys now...i'm the one who's the lest impatient about this..believe me!!
And we are upgrading the turbos.
KRB-trading and CompTurbo made shure two new 43-74/79 billet Comp Turbo´s arrived and will be fitted asap.
Theese sexy bastards incorporate billet machined compressor wheels with an efficiency unseen since the F1 cars was banned from turbocharging.They doesn't even need any oil feed from the engine as they have an enclosed tripple ceramic ball bearing cartridge and can take so much abuse that they dosen't even need any dumpvalves either - i like that.
If everything goes well theese turbo's will be able to take us up to around 2000hp.
Car will be in a chassi dyno first, to break in the engine, make a good off boost map, and a map up to about 1000-1200hp.
Then we'll pull the engine and put it into a engine dyno and try to reach for 2000hp.
Gonna be scary, fun and cool at the same time!
