well heres hoping, however does not look like it will be going on the boat on the 21, as mase said and i am with him on this, he wants to make sure its all ok before it comes back, and the last issue with the sub frame had held it slightly back.

I am just about to fire an email to the shipping company to find out other dates

but it would be good to come along to a few meets for people to have a look, and compare Esem

well things are coming together and its almost finished!!

today we finished installing the new soft top. this week we will begin the fun part. seeing what this damn thing will put down on pump gas w/ the built motor and gt35r.

once phils car is done, along with a couple other turbo projects, full production of the RHD turbo kits will begin. There will be nothing else that will come close to the power these kits are going to put down, its pretty exciting. 400 whp+ out of the box, who doesnt want that

BIG LOL

Isn't that the first thing one should do?



Like to see someone pushing the envelope, awesome.
My mind keeps coming back to the box and prop, and how they will last.

I've been in touch with a couple of shippers and got quotes etc but not got a fixed date yet. The issue is planning in advance to make sure the car is finished by the time the shipping date arrives and hoping that no problems arise inbetween - very stressful

very hard to get insurance without knowing the spec etc, until its finished

no one will give u quotes etc until the project is finished



well the box, there is a question, there are many threads on the the FI section but most have never tried anything, unless they have built pure drag cars, but there is not one that u can just buy already made for FI.

Most never have had issue except when poor driving it to blame

Just because it has alot of power going though it does not mean it will fair, however a good likely hood it may do if i abuse it. On the other hand i know Lucky77 had a needed a new box in his, but at the time he was not running with huge hp, i think it was in the region of 250

There is a guy in florida who is getting one built i believe, but it is costing a heap load of money

Its a new project and not done here in the uk yet so its all an experiment i suppose u could say

Bass
saw the updates nice
yeah i know what u mean about the shipping trying to tie it all in, is a nightmare, nearly had mine on the boat on the 21 but sadly not ready,
