Car looked ace in the flesh, I'm sure it'll just get better and better..maybe good you're not pushing it that hard at the mo, that crack on rim could be naughty. Lovely car.

 

Thanks dude, the rims will get replaced after the body shop visit, I think some CCW's are on the cards :)

Thought I'd update this now as I've decided to definitely keep it... For now anyway :D

 

Since the last update its had a load of things changed, first up, body work...

The interior totally transformed it for me, I love the way it looks now!

 

New head lights from Keron...

Big ring needs sorting which I hope Noz can sort!

 

Few bits to the engine bay changed also...

Shiney bits etc!

 

Also got a new exhaust to go on, Blitz Nur Spec R, this will go on once its been cleaned up a bit :)

 

Also have a carbon rear diffuser but I think it'll be to much of a pig to fit with the blitz :(

 

Other bits waiting to go on...

 

HEL carbon look braided brake lines

Hopefully a new white boot!

 

Now, I weren't going to post up anything about this but I guess if I do it'll help me get parts etc and suggestions about what to do for it! I've been speaking to LeeP about a high compression GTE single build using an NA block which I've started getting bits together for!

 

So far I've got...

 

TT head

TT cams

NA block

Greddy inlet with 2 stage Noz kit ported into it

Q45 throttle

Titan fuel rail

SARD 1000cc injectors

 

What ill be doing is reworking the block with new bearings, seals and new TT oil pump, TT head gasket! This should lower compression just right to run a good high compression setup that'll be good on boost and very responsive off!

 

Lee has said that it'll need a very good ECU/mapper to get it running right so there's only one person I can think of for that job, my mate Dave! Only joking, of course, Ryan! :)

 

I'm waiting till next year to choose a single kit, lee's advise a precision 6262dbb ( aiming for a very responsive quick spooling 600bhp!) but holding out till next year to see what new kits are available :)

 

Gearbox wise ill be using either an R154 or V160/1 depending on what comes up!

 

All in all, I'm going to be VERY busy this winter, but it'll all be worth it if the big bird is flying to the sound of a big single :)

 

Ill be building the engine and fitting everything myself also so ill keep the thread updated with pics etc :)

 

Just a thank you to Lee though as he 's been so helpful with questions etc ive needed asking! Thanks dude :)
