P2 will be aimed at track more so than drag but should still deliver a good time

mmmmm subscriptions

Should be a good one Stu. It will be more informative as the P1 was a completed car incorporating some mods.

It will be a wide bodied classic but won't be one that is known now.

As long as you're driving mate. Stick your good lady behind the wheel and I'll make my excuses and back out. She's way quicker than you up the pod

This wont be a project completed quickly.
We are still in the earliest stage of sorting things out.
If the driving bothered me I would not be doing this. My everyday car is not exactly slow
No specs / figures yet Utaka, and it will most likely be from shell up.
RCM build ? yes.

Tempting to come along but it's so far away. Would be good to see these project thread cars in action and to put some names to faces. Although we've already seen plenty of pics of dazdavies.

Hi Skullfudge,

Certainly is yours, not sure I'll ever be able to afford something like that, but it's quite nice to appreciate

Just seeing if you could recognise your, if I do say so, amazingly clean car Sneaked a photo on Sunday whilst you were fitting your seatbelt pads

I have a few more that I'll chuck up when I get a sec, just incase you want a picture of your own car ?

Look out for Fudge as they set up the cameras 4 feet away from me and asked if I minded them filming me while I was prepping the P1

The day was ruined by toooooo many PR girls walking around half dressed in high heels and stockings
I was there, your car looked fantastic on the Spec R stand, so jelous I had to buy some spec r bits for a bit of bling

Joz: there is something very "Daz like" in that picture may be the legs.


Doc: Thanks mate. Pete will be pleased (owner of Spec-R).
What bits did you buy? If you bought the Steering Fluid Tank you will need to re- route. Spec-R have the braided hosing to suit.

Just battery and fuse cover for the time being, taking off the engine cover and giving it all a good clean up
I always said I wouldnt become a bufty and just drive the damn thing, the more I go to these shows the more I care about my engine
