cheers, not stroking anymore, going hard inside, nice cam then a procharger
looknig for about 500 ish wrhp

 

how the hell did the gunners just lose to man city... i'm crying

 

lets not talk aboutit....

back to my engine starting today!!!!

 

I have tons of family in Bradford-Leeds and just visited your part of the mother land again last year. I love that place. Welcome to the site

 

Sweet deal that thing is gonna scream. cant wait to see and hear more about your progress

 

Def. BADASS. My buddy has one he is just finishing now, it's the same kit you are building, although he put a 5.0 motor in it. I like yours better

 

Yes i cant wait till its blown. just for now untill its SVA'D the engine will stay stock ( still 350 ish bhp in a ton car! )

i manged to drop a bolt in behinde the water pump 'bell' how does this come off ?

also need to plug the holes in the manifold. any one have any ideas? EGR and MAS

regards

 

That's MAP you muppet

Found you

Jim

 

hehe there you are, fancey seeing you on here.... yes map mass same thing...

hmm wounder what it would run like if you blocked the mass !

 

WELCOME! Why no longtubes?? It looks like you have plenty of room, and you can still use your cats if needed. Does the steering shaft, or something else I'm not seeing get in the way? Just curious.

 

Cats are still in place, want the back pressure... long tubes?? ( do you mean side pipes?) the steering has a second UJ to dodge the engine. everything else fits a treat! loads of room.

 

Long Tubes = exhaust manifolds. Stock ones are "shorties", then you have "midlength" (like I do: see sig) and "Long Tubes", If you plan forced induction or serious camshaft, mid length headers are a MUST. Otherwise, stockers will restict your power....


P.S GO Manchester United. I hope Kuszczak will get a chance as a goalie....Yes, I'm Polish too in case you wonder

 

ARRR i see no, long tubes wont fit inside the chassis. its very very tight as it is. i plan to buy GARDNER DOUGLAS headers when i upgrade engine bits. (the make them specialy for the engine and chassis, fit and flow a treat.

MANU ???

 

Nice looking car

Where abouts are you in MK? I'm only down the road in Leighton Buzzard?

Once you've got it up and running well have to go and run the cars on the A5, although you'll totally kick my ****. Same power but less weight

There's a few American car parts places in Bedford, they pretty good for simple things like filters and such. But are pretty useless for any "performance" as they charge about double what it would cost you to do import the items on their own.

Personally I've found Texas Speed & Performance very helpful along with Exotic Performance Plus and Thunder Racing. They are all sponsors on this website. Importing is pretty easy, just remember the shippings cost are the real pain in the butt, along with the 17.5% VAT to add onto the price.

 

cheers for that. yer we will have to go for a drive im in downs barn near the city center in MK. got a better idea.... why not havea track day???

 

Cool Would def be up for that.

When do you think you'll have it on the road?

Oh year what colour are you painting it? Really love the Cobra replica's, the originals are nice, but the modern chassis and better engines are way better from a performance point of view. I was so tempted to get a kit myself, I'd narrowed it down the the GD and the Dax, but decided to stick with the z/28 instead.

 

Gimme couplw of months and it should be done, going to try and get it ready for a track at brungtinthrope for the end of the month (sept).

Dax is no where near the GD.... chassis design and build qulity its second to none!! leaving the body in gel coat for now, GD gel is amazing and very often mistaken for paint. check out www.gd-owners.co.uk (members gallery)

you should pop along to the brungthingthrope track day. there will be loads of GD cobras and T70 spyders with LS 7's!

regards

 

Sounds good with me, end of Sept would be good actually as I've only recently recovered from a back injuary so I'm having to take it easy in the car.

I agree about the Dax compared to the GD though. Had a good butchers at them at the kit car show in Donnington last year.

Laters.

 

Those sound even more sick than the insanity you're building!!
I can't even imagine that! ANY pics of those monsters??

 

yup, this will keep you busy
