Greddy-Matt's Rev3 Tubby **forged engine in!**

[Greddy-Matt]

Going to get some vids up so you can hear the thing!! I need someone else to operate the camera tho, I need both hands on the wheel!

[cantfindausername]

Yeah I wanna do mine. Got my bullet cam half set up. Just need to decide where to put the Mic.

[Tiny]

I wanna see you two in a time attack scenario or just an outright drag race (NOT LIKE THAT! I know where your minds go)

Possible track legal replacment

Matt gimme a shout and we will make it as shiney as it is fast

[Greddy-Matt]

Ha ha, would be good! Ant will defo have the faster car no question+I've heard he's handy at the driving bit, still I can cure that with bravery

I need to talk to the garage about intake manifold, I'm running the stock one at the moment and think that's a big restriction!

Will do Tiny, she's looking a bit sorry for herself at the moment!

[cantfindausername]

Matt will be doing ~100 by the time I've stalled it and restarted again and finally got rolling.

I basically need to grow some balls and practice hard launches. Scared of breaking something though. Need to just go and do it. Rev counter would be a nice luxury to have for practicing the launches though lol

[nakamura]

Wow what a spec!! Id be afraid to drive it but you have always been brave/stupid so it doesnt matter!

[Greddy-Matt]

Lol... I think most act of bravery are stupid! It is savage but, the boost comes in so smooth, its not all over the shop/hard to controll

[Harry]

Congrats Matt really pleased to hear that you have got the torque you have been wanting. Can't wait to do a video soon - on the move. Got just the spot.

[Greddy-Matt]

Cheers Harry
Well she's far from finished in the engine bay but here's an in progress pic:


Got a fair bit of tidying up to do, spent a whole day cleaning the engine bay, still got all the heat sleeving and shielding etc to go on but quite pleased with the result so far

What you guys think?

[sutton]

That looks awesome mate, hows the radtech

Chris

[Greddy-Matt]

Cheers Radtech isn't too bad, It heat soaks a fair bit when stationary like in traffic but good on boost and when moving etc

[sutton]

It heatsoaks wonder why that is? atleast its good when your out on a run! would you recomend it?

[jimGTS]

no airflow perhaps, lol....

[Greddy-Matt]

Yeah, I've not managed to wrap the manifold or downpipe yet so it's pretty toasty, I've removed the engine bay inspection panels to improvve airflow which is keeping the temps down a few degrees.

[sutton]

Ahh ok, i bet it all sounds mental when your out on a run!

[Greddy-Matt]

Indeed she sounds fapping mental, been having fun upsetting all the exotica around here drivers round here I just been made redundant so after all the hard work the 2 may have to go

[sutton]

Ahh mate, im so sorry to hear that

[marc GT Turbo]

thats terrible , i hope you can keep the motor and you find work asap

[RyanRs]

Thats poop man! sure there is a way you can keep it!? i would have to pretend that i dont actually 'own' the car if i was in your situation, force myself to find an alternative solution!

But if you do decide to sell, perhaps splitting the parts will see you more cash? Ill definatly take the front brakes off you if you decide to go down this path..

[jimGTS]

give it a couple of months. i mean seriously, surely you cant afford to break it so to speak. you wouldnt get back what it owes you after your recent rebuild.
