also the car's bumpers are made of plastic which just like aluminium, it doesn't rust so will be rather stupid tbh

So as above, we've been really unfortunate with some parts recently. Just seems that everything we order, either is out of stock, turns up broken or faulty...not fun!
On a more positive note, there really isn't a lot left to do. It's a case now of:
Finishing the pipework for the supercharger Finishing off exhaust manifolds Fitting and configuring ECU Not a lot in terms of a list but fairly time consuming jobs nonetheless
I've had to put off various shows throughout the year which is slowly killing me, so I made the decision to go all out for a really promising show called "Gravity" based at Stoneleigh Park near Coventry. It's organised by Slammed UK and was basically a selection of hand picked cars for the show, so the standards were high. With the hotel being booked months ago, we got the engine and gearbox mounted so I wasn't going to miss this one!



This meant an EXTREMELY long weekend consisting of hiring a transporter from near Gatwick and collecting the car from Brands Hatch


Taking it over to my friend near Heathrow for good clean


And then back to mine near Croydon. Saturday was then spent failing to fit some new parts due to the battery finally giving up after 9 months of no charge, changing the wheels over and driving up to the show Saturday night to drop the car off in the main event hall




Adam was at the same hotel as me so with the girls we had a great evening over some good food and many many many many beers.
The show itself was fantastic. So well organised and the standard of cars was amazing. Needless to say I got some attention by arriving on the back of a transporter and everyone commended me for the determination to get my car there which made it even more worth while
The best part of the whole show was just seeing people's confused faces as they looked in the engine bay. The V8, particularly with it's new colourful rocker covers, is very striking and gets people asking sorts of questions. I just can't wait to finally get her up and running!

So I got the wheels on and got a few pictures at a show the other week 



And for anyone that doesn't know, this car is FOR SALE! so any interest, please message me. 

Fitted my new rear lights and EL headers from Adam last night

Will get a video soon of exhaust sounds insane haha

Yeah shame you couldn't make it

I thought I might have had to pick him up of the floor to revive him

Nick showed Tada San, what he thought of your rear wing last night. I asked him if he liked it, in Japanese. He was a tad unsure in his response! 

Sorry guys, missed this - please send me a pm with questions so I get notification

Looking great, any plans for a front splitter?

A brand that I know and have had previous experience of 

No idea yet but remember this isn't a newly built engine like the last one was, she's got 53k miles on her with all the standard internals. These V8's are fairly bullet proof up to about 600bhp so in theory I should be able to boot it as soon as we've got the mapping sorted.
Then again we still need to run in the new diff which apparently consists of driving in a figure of 8 for 30mins and then doing an oil change on it...

Can't believe I called this subtle a few pages back.
It all looks very well done though...

Me too!

Been a bit quiet recently, but that doesn't mean no progress!
This is where we're at so far:
Engine built Manual gearbox adapter plate finished BMW 6 speed gearbox mounted to the engine Engine and gearbox mounts finalised and powder coated Rotrex supercharger mount made Upgraded driveshafts (capable of 600bhp) fitted Kaaz 1.5 way differential fitted into OEM diff housing OEM propshaft cut down to size Injector looms made and ECU almost finished We are almost there! We're just finishing off the ECU connections to the dash, pipework for the supercharger and waiting for the chargecooler to arrive as well. Not much left to do before we start her up for the first time 
Also picked up my front bumper after having the holes in the number plate filled in and a full respray to get rid of all the stonechips I've picked up. Local bodyshop did an amazing job as always. I was tempted to take the whole car there to get everything done but it's not a priority right now

Test fitting the new coloured badge which has been sitting in the garage since I had the interior sprayed

Wouldn't even be able to tell there were holes in the bumper previously


We're still aiming to have her completed for a show on 26th June...time is tight but we're still confident
