[cantfindausername]

Same here. Could be postponed though as the boost controller is xxxxx and can't get another one

[cantfindausername]

phew... sourted another one! Been a manic day on the phone trying to get stuff sorted out. Still crossing fingers for Bruntingthorpe next week!

[cantfindausername]

Had a phone call earlier. Don't think we'll be doing Bruntingthorpe now... as there is no need. Said its very drivable now. Got a few bits to finish off and it should be ready next week

75km from half a tank... doesn't sound like its been tuned with Economy in mind.

Just read the thread,

Looks like a nice build. Be good to see it at a few shows and TOTB.

Hope all goes well tomorrow.

What power did it make?

[cantfindausername]

Cheers Roy. Not sure I'll be doign TOTB. Need to see how things go to start with. Am thinking its best left till next year.

His quote to me today was "I honestly don't know what power its making" His rollers are only set up for 400whp and it was maxing them out quite early on. We're gonna get it to Surrey Rolling Road before too long to have a proper power run and probaly a tweak session if its needed.

been watching this all day and nothin he must be out enjoying it

[cantfindausername]

Yeah late update. Was a long day. But lots of fun.

First impressions when he took me out for a run.... well first words will be hit by the censored list but they started with F and ended with me!

3rd gear got more of the same language.

When we got back to the workshop we had a chat about a few things and eventually went out with me behind the wheel. Stalled it about 2 or 3 times just getting it out the workshop. Didn't do too bad when out on the road. Have to say though, my honest thoughts before getting in the car were those of fear. I was actually scared to drive it due to the power. I didn't think I'd be able to handle it.

We took it down some nice back roads to so I could see how the power delivered in short bursts before hitting a dual carriage way.

Its absolutely brutal!!

It comes in nice and smooth but the boost gauge shoots round nearly as quick as the speedo. Rev counter is dead so have no idea what i'm doign there at the mo lol.

The 110mph speedo doesn't last long. Top of 3rd is well off the clock.

Will get some video footage and pics up soon.

Shoots nice flames and gets 22mpg

Few issues to sort. 2 clamps need to be replaces as they allow the pipe to pop after a while. Easy fix. Clutch needs to be swapped so that is going to be the winter project. Lots of work for that though, but will start investigating now.
