About time!

Don't you ever want to actually drive the car, rather than just keep buying bits for it?

Had this very convosation with MADDOG today.

Indeed i do mate but i want it to be done propely so im happy to take my time getting it how i want it. Weathers crap right now and our summer hasnt actually been all that so im not too fussed really.

Id rather just build it to a spec im happy with then go enjoy it. No point driving a car you dont enjoy.

Less than 24 hours till we go pick the car up.

Im really excited and quite anxious too.

I havent even seen the system yet and i know ive taken a big gamble with a whole lot of money. Part of me dont even wanna see it just incase its not how i imagine it to be.

Ive missed it like crazy and i have a whole heap of parts here to be fitted too. I just wanna crack on and get stuck in.

So untill tomorrow.. we sit and wait

I was thinking just the other day that you really need to get it weighed now so that you can see how much weight you have shaved off.

Hmm, I dunno really. I bet it isnt much at all. I will lose weight with the carbon etc but gain weight with the likes of big intercoolers and oil coolers. Would be interesting im sure.

Above all that though, i need to lose some weight myself lol.

lol
its quiet-er. Not silent by any means. Got a nice smooth rumble up to 3krpm and after that its get quieter the faster you go. This is due to the pulses of the soundwaves getting closer together.
Static @ 5000rpm shows 91.5dB
Drive by at WOT 130mph from 10meters away shows 87.7dB

As for pics...

Im saving them till the car is clean.

Mate.. ive gotta admit i was sh1tting a brick all teh way there. As i had an idea as to what i wanted but didnt know if the guys could really get that good.

To say im pleased is a monumental understatement. The finish is a funking work of art. The welds are something else.

But the look...

AWESOME!!!
