These pics really dont do the car justice, it is IMMACULATE! The work Nick is doing looks spot on in the flesh. Went and had a sneeky peak yesterday and I think that USC trophy could be safe in your hands mate, although I will give it my best shot!

I'd ditch the jack though, every little helps!

[GTI6BOY 29]

Thanks mate.

 

Also cheers for taking me for a spin and now have some idea on how fast its gonna be and i cant wait.

 

Dont worry sam my car will be fully stripped

Don't you already have Jenveys? I might have missed it but did you sell them or something?

[GTI6BOY 29]

Lol...i sold the whole engine and purchased a new 1.

 

Jenveys would have been to small for the power anyways

[edbar 6]

Gorgeous, so clean! Love the details!

[Dj_mini 7]

This is looking realy good! will you be doing any track days in it? Im interested to know what longmans have recomened to do in the way of a breather set up?

 

Cheers Dan

Will be using an oil catch tank but not connected back in to the system

[GTI6BOY 29]

Recieved my jenveys today

 

Spring linkage kit

 

 

Reg housing

 

 

Oil cooler

 

 

Boddies and manifold

 

[edbar 6]

Very nice indeed!

[hillbilly 3]

Should be a beast when finished. What bhp you think it will have?

[GTI6BOY 29]

around 275bhp

[GTI6BOY 29]

Throttle bodies are all fitted

 

 

Oil cooler and sandwich plate all ready to go too

 

 

The pedal box has arrived and what fun that was to put in...not

 

When we had it made we did not think whether or not it would fit with the 6 engine and OMG was it close...lucky we are running group A mounts

 

 

And its all loaded and ready to go and have its touring car exhaust fitted

 

 

Not long now...

[EdCherry 34 1 Cars]

Looks great... cant wait to see this finished.

[taylorspug 7]

Can you not chop that lug off the head? If its as close as it looks there it will touch from my experience, the top engine mount moves alot, even when its hard on the buffer.

[Batfink 201]

could you take some more pictures of the pedal box, as I'm thinking that my engine might be lower and that will not fit!

[GTI6BOY 29]

The pic is a bit strange...the top lug is no where near

i was gonna say looks like you got loads of room there, looks sweet though...i'm thinking i might have to invest in some jenveys,depending on how it runs on the bike bodies.

 

and 275brake, bit of an optimist aint ya ?

 

what managment are you running?

[GTI6BOY 29]

and 275brake, bit of an optimist aint ya

 

Not really mate as its already been dyno'd and was 275bhp thats what they had infact they had a little more.

 

will be running EFI Euro 1

[pugpete1108 62 1 Cars]

Lol...

 

I work for a metal recycling company and earn 25k

 

I also have a 1k pm mortgage which i pay on my own

 

I just love my cars and every spare penny gets spent on them

 

just read all of this post.

 

i earn that sort of money and i dont pay 1k mortgage, and yet i couldn't spend that sort of money on my pug (would like to).

'kin hell, what with the tb's that are on it now? or when it was in a 306? any internal work to it ?

 

that will be fast i bet....i need to get mine running soon

Edited April 27, 2009 by pugpete1108

[GTI6BOY 29]

any internal work to it ?

 

I thought you said you read it all...lol

 

Its a brand new touring car engine which has full steel internals.

 

an ultra light weight crank which costs £4500 + vat

 

Im not being an optimist as anybody would expect 275bhp for a £12k engine

[Dj_mini 7]

This is going to be one great sleeper

 

Where is it going for the exhaust?
