Afew picts showing yet more progress, still a few bits to do though.

 

realy nice mate just about finshed well looks like it is

 

That does look very nice.

 

Looking good!

Is the bumper going to have a new black strip Rod?

 

looks lovely mate.

the bumper looks bigger than standard? it comes out more at the front if that makes sense?

 

front end is looking very smart rod

 

Nice and neat that...

 

Yes !! ordered one for each bumper from ebay.

 

It's the Hong Kong Fooey equivalent of a car . Who would know the mild-mannered Sierra was 1000bhp 215mph Monster .

 

Its not done 215mph yet Mike thats sounds very very fast too me .

 

It should piss it . Ye of little faith .

 

Rubbish time of year weather wise to be driving a rwd car with so much power.

When do you plan to have it back to brunters, or are you not making plans yet mate?

 

Rod, why has the turbo got a Garrett compressor housing on it, not a schwitzer?

 

No plans yet Chip im just going to use it for a while & then decide what to do. Meeting the Double Ton Project car was my prefered option but was told this has now stalled & may not happen, thats a pity if true.

 

Because it is a Garrett a GT4202. The new Turbo exhaust housing is still in transit, reminds me i had better chase it up because the stated 3 weeks are up .

 

I thought that but then noticed the black bumper strip was missing & thats what was making it look bigger.

Cars looking great Rod

 

Its standard except for cut-out & grills in place of foglights.

 

Rod what do you think it could pull (speed wise) in a mile with this spec?

 

A big for me then

 

Circa 204/205 I guess, it will have to if 215 is to be reached. Sounds more impossible the more I think about it .

 

215 at the mile would be better

 

Not in mine it would'nt

 

Wow i like that.I love the front bumper.

 

I wonder where he got the idea?

 

Love the look of the car now Rod, that turbo just cracks me up....

I,d love to see your car at a trackday onetime too, be awesome to see/hear it going round, i,ve only ever seen it parked @ Marks.....get it out @ National Day next year Rodders....

AWESOME CAR.......

 

The first pf I ever got, becouse of the car.

Its looking rude now Rod.

 

Your right even you had some good ideas at times Mike .

Your 180.9 mph run was my starting point for this Topspeed mania. BARSTARD !!!!!. .

 

Looks fantastic Rod

 

Greg wants to have a go round Coombe rekons it would be a fast car round there, just a few suspension tweaks. Im not sure about that dont want to chip the paint.

 

Any chance your going to put ambers on the beast?

 

Finish it, take the car and Greg to Norway and show them how its done

 

Maybe, ive been looking but cant find any.

 

We could have a whip round to cover the paint, cause id love to see that

 

Heard from Pete today. Turbo Hanger made & awaiting paint. Strut Brace still not complete & thats also got to be painted so looks like Christmas is Looming too fast. Towing Hook boss made but not fitted & Light adjustment brackets made but not fitted. Will have more pictures at weekend but getting it finished for xmas seems unlikely now, but hey!! ive waited 4 years so another week or two wont matter .

 

Rod this is turning..... scratch that has turned into a proper bufty thread. Looks proper clean and just the way a sapphy should be. Glad you lost the majority of the stickers, was getting way too crowded imo.

 

looking good

 

over 4 years waiting for 25 seconds of action, I guess thats normal at your age though

 

Didnt take long for Garrett to get on the bandwagon ehh Rod
The new GTX-R is this years black ....

 

Ive been aware of all these developments but first look at the maps suggests my monies still on ETT to be best & they still have there new range available early 2010 so i suggest it will all change again .

 

Checked with Pete today & my car is still on to be finished before Christmas so will go down next week to see the finished car & take some picture. Not going to bother getting it back to Marks before the new year as it serves no purpose.

So should have pictures before Crimbo.
