Any updates/new pics?

[16bit]

well i am planning some head work atm with mxhevans cams, gears and springs so that should bring some more power. I have also purchased a smaller blower pulley so should get another pound or so there which works out to be around 10 or so rwkw on its own. I have got a spare throttle body machined and resleaved to 68mm which idles like crazy so I will have to get it looked at by whoever tunes my car after the cams. From those three things with a new 610cc 5th injector I am hoping for around 180rwkw. thats getting to the end of my clutches and probably the gearboxes levels of reliability.

as soon as I get stimulated I will be ordering a tarox bbk from the uk which should prove effective. apart from that I removed the under tray as it was proving un reliable. no more pics as such. I will clean the car and get a few soon. I have just been driving it and loving it really. I spent a sh*t load of cash on the car and I would like to enjoy it for a while - unlike some people who finish a project and just sell it. i don't get that.

they all i would need is a cf front and rear bar - oh and doors. axis power racing do cf doors but they cost around 1800 usd each!! and are for the na.

have also decided to go with the ap racing brake kit. should hopefully get it in the next month.

well there is a massive delay on the ap racing kit until june 26 in the uk. then it gets shipped to me so probably early to mid july. oh well good things take time. nothing else to report except I washed the car last weekend. just driving the car and enjoying it. rego came up so I could not get the side skirts and rear pods on offer. also waiting for a few details before I can get all of mxhevans head gear installed. should have that stuff in by september at the latest.

I gave the car a good clean yesterday. Washed as usual but also decided to have a go at the front of the car with some bug remover. Did the trick quite well. I also got some meguiars spray on wax which worked really well. I then decided seeing it was such a nice day today I would take some photos while it was clear - on the outside anyway.

Love the wheels, not a fan of the carbon fibre look, but that's me.

The power of this thing when complete wins me over though.

Looks good tempting me to get flares now!

All that effort to clean her, pity the location sucked world's worst graffiti and a hobo mattress FTL

yeah it was the only quiet place i could find in the valley. a dead end street is hard to come by that I can park my car in the middle of the road. There is a coffee shop down the road I could use but was packed in the morning.

Love the look of your car.

Evolution Gold as it came out of the factory not a real fan. But with this combo of Gold & Black...I like.

David of Mania built a natural aspirated NB8A track car in this colour combo as well - though not as much black as you have. That too I like.

I saw you driving down Corro drive a few days ago. Your car sticks out like a sore thumb!!

Do you get hassled by the cops much?

[Steampunk]

lookin' good James.
Not a single rice-sticker in sight. *two thumbs up*

[Jeo]

I like

No more canards though? And what splitter do you have?

[16bit]

yeah you do tend to notice the odd confused look on peoples faces. i once had a guy with a lolly pop at road works ask me 'what is that?'. never had any issues with the fuzz just yet. yeah no canards they just take it over the edge of offensiveness imo. I made the splitter myself out of some 1.6mm alloy sheet. will probably replace it with that alloy skinned plastic stuff that is apparently much more rigid.
