Any more updates? How you getting on with the project

 

[SteC]

Unfortunately in,still waiting on the bodyshop so i van have all my bumpers and stuff back, as i cant mount all the intercooler and nits up without them. As you can probably understand in fuming with the time scale cause pretty much everything else is done

 

[user 980]

Yeah that's unfortunate Bodyshop seem to be taking their time.

I still need to get over to your place and get on your rolling road. Open this Sunday? I'll be over that way anyway on Sunday.

 

[SteC]

Sorry not open on Sundays, its the only day i get to relax open every other day though

Unfortunately not ATM, got pretty much everything to finish it however works has just been far too busy to get much done on it, plus with the arrival of my first child a couple of weeks ago it's been neglected a little bit. Few more weeks and I'll get back on it again

 

[Rob_McLav]

[ollieallen]

Excited to see how this turns out!

 

[Rob_McLav]

Any news on the car?

 

[SteC]

Sorry work has kinda taken over ATM, most of the stuff is done now so I'll update over the next couple of weeks

 

[Rob_McLav]

Awesome, if u know performance stats ie 0-60, 0-100 ect could you let us know?

 

[maggi200]

Sort of irrelevant numbers surely?

Mid gear acceleration would be impressive but I imagine a standard start is probably gonna start putting strain on several parts that are probably custom made for such a build (I can't imagine the drive shafts are from another car or cheap?) and the powers in one lump would surely over power relatively thin tyres

 

[Rob_McLav]

Why? 205's on the front with nice tyres will do with traction control and I doubt the driveshafts are standard!!

 

[apostolis]

nice colour!!!
