Ok Fai ...so far


Visit 1. Main Engine build /Motec etc. 6 months.

There was much work fitting the huge inter cooler. APS 725 series R
This is Marti's P1 but the IC is exactly the same as mine.

Visit 2. AP Racing brakes. 1 week.

Visit 3. Exe-TC suspension. 1 week.

Visit 4. 6 Speed box and OS K Triple clutch. 3 days.

car remained there for new Turbo kit - Turbo / up - down pipe etc etc.

15 weeks.

Being the first twisted kit fitted the duration ran on more than everyone thought. Olly showed me the problem caused by a certain engineering supplier. RCM.s actual work did not take too long. Had probs with a couple of dimensions that were out on the new 44mm waist gate, s/s flanges etc.
Also waited 5 weeks for bespoke wing box seen here on the left.

Matt said to me if he had of known of the unforeseen probs he would have released my car with the new box & clutch, then done a mock up of the new twisted kit on a classic they had in there yard, then given me a call when it was ready to fit.

Much work involved to make everything fit.

Question

lol at the Mad Hammer comment

SF, matey's car with "20" on the side... What are those fab 12-spoke alloys?! They look very similar to the Superleggera... BUT with evenly spaced spokes! (can't tell due to the low res image of the wheel). I've always liked the SL's... but always wanted them with even spokes, and not the asymmetric 'pairs' of 6 .

Or are they Pro Race 1.0, 1.2 or 1.3? Or are they really expensive Italian Braid rally jobs?

Any help on those wheels will be appreciated.

I couldn't agree more. I just try to forget about the car. The only pain is all your friends asking when your going to get it back.

You name the place, date, car & £'s and we can meet up "Pedigree Chum".

As long as it does not include a drag race
