Wasn't this supercharged at one point? f**king blast from the past seeing that car on here, OP was in 2007!!!
Yup it was planning on being charged at one point.
Unfortunately it won't be the original build spec - I simply don't have the budget. But I will be getting it up and running at some sort of basic spec, and see where we go.
Dan keeps on we should 1.8T it - I have to say it is very tempting, I'm not allowing myself to Drive Dan's as I know as soon as I do I will want to do it lol.
So for now the plan is to get the F4R up and running, map it and see what it is like, let the car do some miles to bed everything back in and look at it then.
All in all it should be good fun, I have a lot of ideas for the interior, which will take me a while to plan and get sorted, so I have plenty to fiddle with before we go chasing big power :smile:

To be honest, as stripped as it is (ignoring the paint on the inside!) it will fly with an F4R.

What's the current engine spec then Russ?
Put a 1.8t in it.
We can save time by just getting the 20v running
LOL! Andy already has my old Schricks, only seems fair I have them back.....
Touche!
Yeah you're not wrong there mate!
Had an hour spare yesterday, so pulled it out the garage and spent some time to look through all the stuff that came with the car.
The good news is I have a few of the parts I thought i'd have to buy (alternator, front discs, few other bits) and I found the front calipers - unfortunately they look like they have spent a few years on the titanic, so I will try to clean them up but I think some new ones will be bought.
The inner loom is still all in place and nearly everything seems to be plugged in which is good, just need to find homes for a few loose plugs (The loom as been cut back and all the extra non needed bits cut away - windows, mirrors etc)
The engine loom also seems to be ok - it is all in, fuse box wise at least, and the rest of the loom looks all complete, just not plugged in.
This is fine as first job I think is I will borrow a mates engine crane and pull the engine and box out, give the engine a full repaint and swap the gearbox for a 172 Cup box.
I need to get to a point where I can plug it all in, get ignition on and check all the wiring is in place, but this can be in the warmer weather.
It's hopefully going to be a very fun summer

Haha. Either you are weak or Dan's powers are strong!
This gonna be good
This gonna be good
Life begins with boost
as far as we are aware mate yes, Dan is coming to see me soon and is bringing his locking tools so we will pop the cam cover off and confirm what they are - as far as I am aware they are Cat 420's which are Grp N spec.
The engine we believe is the original one, which puts the mileage around 50k

Who? 🤣😜
1.17.2 now but definitely a low 16 in there with a bit more seat time. I’m properly rusty looking at the sector times.
That thing has some power you see him just drive around me after I pretty much parked it through the esses trying to at least slow him a bit 😂

Whichever has fuel
Yes, it’s properly properly fast. Is he in the same class as you??
I can’t see how a 300+BHP car can be any fun in that class when he’s literally just driving around people with so much ease.
1.17’s?? That’s good mate, especially with 2 years off. I’m a constant 1.21 on old s**t tyres and Chinese suspension so hoping to sail through 1.20’s when I’m next up there.
