Engine Build finished and wheels changed :)

[BREMBO]

Wow, love that.

Is just a standard N/A engine? also what is the deal with gearbox? its not sequential is it? Looks amazing to drive

 

[Dan...]

It looks epic! - I want to see a video of it

Yep, standard N/A. For now I'm hoping to supercharge it later this year. @Dan@SJM is working a price out for me at the mo

The gearbox has a Gripper LSD in it with a PMS shifter, but it's not sequential. I couldn't afford that James BIGASH has a straight cut box in his race car. To be honest, straight cut wouldn't do much good on the road / the miles I do.

With the PMS shifter it is a much nicer gear change, much more solid and 'mechanical'.

I'm rubbish with cameras, let alone vids! There will be some GoPro footage of it in Wales in a few weeks hopefully.

[Lal B3N]

Looks awesome on the outside.

Not a huge fan of the white bits in the engine bay though but never the less it still looks mighty clean!

 

[Cub.]

Thanks for the comments guys

Sadly I am not anymore. The Evo 3s are great seats

 

[The Russian.]

What a brilliant result Oli, it's looks Superb.

Shame I couldn't get down, but hopefully we'll catch up.

Great work. X

 

[JP83]

Looks awesome Lord Cubbington. Needs some stainless bolts in the engine bay I reckon.

 

[Paul.M]

Looks awesome, nice to see it is a 'proper' forum built car too.

Great work from all involved.

 

[Mr Plums]

Got Samco hoses from Demon Tweeks. If you sign on as a member here you get a discount. Worth it, as they aren't cheap unfortunately

This. Irrelevant of whether you order a 'special' colour or not it would appear

 

[botfch]

Looks fantastic!
Photos really pick out the colour well, Slightly off topic what do you think of those seats tempted to get some myself.

Seats are amazing. Comfortable on long journeys (I have done 6 hours to Le Mans in them) but very supportive on track. Light aswell.

Only downside, they aren't what you would call cheap

 

[ChrisP_182]

This is a lovely car!

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Jesus Christ on fire! That's .....just...... EPIC insanely EPIC!

Made my decision, I have to have something flame red next!

 

[jesus]

Very presentable. Looks great.

 

[Alex5]

Wow that is reaaaaaaaal nice man, looks brand new

 

[Joe#]

Fantastic mate! Great work on the photo's too

 

[domsclio182]

Looks great, a supercharger will finish it off nicely.

 

[SharkyUK]

Bag of sh-uperbness! That looks spot on mate; really, really good. Fair play!

 

[Johnc172]

That does look properly good! You must be chuffed!

 

[JamieG]

Looks good.

Needs a new tyre on nsr

 

[jkyb]

Looks ace mate, enjoy it.

A good spot. I was waiting for someone to see it. Basically, the OZ f1s are only on one side for the photos, because they are running below legal tread. Going to finish them off on a trackday, so it is back on the standard alloys at the mo.

Thanks for all the comments guys I am very chuffed.

 

[Gaz85]

That looks superb great work! I do love a clean flamer

 

[16v_er]

Looks awesome, no doubt great to drive! Good work.

 

[Rob]

Cracking work bro, I've just finished a 14 hour day and I've not even checked CS once! Missed all this.

It looks superb mate, actually better than it did in my head. I love the black wheels (and I hate black wheels) it looks so aggressive!

I have an eye for thing like that, especially when I noticed the AD08 on the front wheel picture.

Wish I had the balls to put a cage in my cup.
