Great video looks like an absoloute beast!

 

Woodbridge is 1.66 miles so the same as Brunters, the current record was set there in 2005. Its maybe shorter but its safer you have scrub & not parked cars to hit .

 

cool, give it beans and then do a bit of grass-tracking after.

Where did you get your BW from? best price i can get for one is $599, but thats with a t6 rear end, they wanted $189 for a t4 rear, cant believe how cheap these are compared to garrett

 

Come on Rod, the snow has gone now

 

Chop Chop

 

Was going down today (wednesday) but its snowing again although dont think it will be bad. Still today made a major decision , im now able to buy white aerocatches (new in 2010) in the style i want which means getting the vents painted white again & the aero catches replaced why O why dont i just leave it alone .

 

its not in u to leave it alone

 

wont look half as agressive with those bits done in white..

 

Um!!
Pete at Spec R has told me i cant change it cos in his word it looks the bollix as it is, anyone want to buy a pair of white aerolocks that have not arrived yet .

 

Yes its deffo going to Central Day just agreed that today.

 

Spoken to Pete today, still waiting on Painter to complete strutbrace.
It looks like it will be picked up next week & then it will hopefully get completed fairly quickly.
Have shown interest in the next Vmax & received an e-mail from a Photographer who wishes to cover my car during the day etc. & see what mag interest it generates. It may be a good event to set an off Nitrous record, although the Vmax record of 211 would then be out of reach, still need to get the car finished before i get too carried away .

 

Thats what he said to me when i told him you were changing it all .....glad to see pete has got his way , as it does look mean as ***k with all the black against the white .
You'd deffo live up to your user name if you had changed back to white .....

 

.

Im defeated , problem is ive not seen it so cant judge.

 

Another week & nothing to report, admit im busy at the mo & car is again on back burner. Spoke to Mark about doing Vmax but its in March & too soon to be ready so no pressure on to complete now. Would like to be at Central day but im not even sure about that as its only 10 weeks away .

 

whats holding you up rod ! this should be long done by now

 

i be at central day with my 3 door want to try and put some good times down, engine should be dynoed in next couple of weeks then i can fit it job done

 

It wont be my fault I am already to get on with it I just need a car.

Mark

 

Will you run it at Central day if its done or just be on a stand?

 

Rod,

2nd of June is the due date of my 1st child. So you think it will be done by then?

 

If its complete it will be driven to Central Day but I have no desire to run the car down the strip then or ever. It will certainly not have been tested at Brunters by then so it will just be putting miles on the car for a Topspeed run later in the year.

 

Your 18 im 64 I dont do fast or haste anymore at this time im very busy with my sons business as ive run that for 5 years now & big things are on the Horizon & his success is a million times more important than my car . Also do work for Mark mainly 1off Looms am working on a 105E Cossie conversion at the mo & its fast becomming my favourite cosworth its beautifull & brilliantly executed .

Rod

ps. Nothing to do with MAD they are waiting for me to get my finger out .

 

your trying to do 215 mph of course you do fast lol.

 

Ive been with pete today and it's deffo looking the dogs danglies , perfect id say .
He's done a top job and the engine bay is a credit to his time, effort and skills , with his attention to detail 2nd to none .

 

Fair play mate, wasn't sure if you did 1/4 mile stuff as you did try drag radials before.

Let me know if you want to sell your drag wheels?

Hope you do go to show either way mate as will be cool to catch up again, been a few yrs since we last spoke, lol

 

No probs Gav i just whant to use the car & enjoy it. Will come & have a chat at Central day & cheer you on if your cars running .

 

OK Jimbo i will update on what i know, cant get down to Petes at the mo & bits still to be fitted are under my desk . Pete however is complete except for minor bits & he as arranged a Pro photographer so i best get all the bits down there maybe next Friday.
Here are a few pictures of the car engine bay almost complete.

 

Wow, that looks great.

Pete really does know how to make an engine bay look right, thats spot on

 

thats more like it looks very smart with the powerder coated black bits

 

that turbo is ridicules rod lol

 

Very well presented

 

Looks like the turbo is holding the engine up with that bracketry

 

Cheers matey, Mine will be running as this is probably my favourite show and i quite like the 1/4 mile stuff.

Loving the engine bay mate, thats looking awesome can't wait to see it go again

How come you have 3 lines on your fuel rail mate?
One each end and one in the middle??

 

Large central entry & 2 smaller returns

 

is that -8 feed twin -6 return rod ?

 

that looks so good be nice to see you take it down the strip though

 

Looks lush Rod, credit to Pete

 

Yes !!

 

Lovely Rodders Get a move on

 

Now thats what you call a proper cossie engine.

 

Looking awesome turbo is insane cant wait to see this go
