Hello, hope all our brittish friends are doing well.

thought I'd throw a few picture updates up ;-)















motor basically as of today. Just waiting on the wastegate and clutch to get here this week then back in the car :-D


IC in

some suspension stuff my company designed.







Now, theres STILL 1" of down travel and that picture is with NO motor in the car We spent alot of time designing these to have the most suspension travel possible. more info here http://www.rkautotechnik.com/5.html
(the rears are also adjustable, just need to order shorter springs)

and finally the new clampers

Hi Doug,

I have been watching your progress with this project (with great interest) from the start. I have to say, I love the way you have approached this and can't wait to see the finished engine. When you get that thing fired up, you have to get it on video and post it up on the web!! I think it's gonna be MEAN!! Trick set up on the suspension as well. Keep up the good work and keep us in the "picture".

Cheers,

No probs,

I would love to do what you are doing to that thing if funding allowed...but I can't, so I'll do the next best thing and find out the in's and out's from someone that obviously has an exceptional idea what to do with these cars.

Waiting in anticipation...

Cheers,
