Hi, Just wanted to upload some photos of my car after all the work I have had done since Mallory Park. All that needs finishing is the external waste gate with screamer pipe which is all ready to go onto the car and then in the new year, I am having a full re-spray once I have saved the money up.
Hope you all like :)
p.s. Hope you like my daughter in the drivers seat! Sweet :laugh:

there Red but you can get neon pink from ViperPerformance, they do the 15 piece kit although not listed on there website.. the kits £220 for the 15 piece in standard colours not including the boost etc, then its 20% more for the pink and 30% for the white edition.. by the looks of things they didn't do the elbows in custom, only blue black red etc, so its wouldn't be 100% one colour, mix and match only:(
but i dont know this as i didn't look into neon pink:scared:

No No fella - not doubting you at all, rolling roads are notorious for guff results, and at the end of the day the only real way to prove it is on the track / strip. Years ago I was well chuffed to get 280 BHP from my C1J:dearme: Then got rinced by a 180bhp car. Point is, I will never know if the 180bhp car was 180 bhp, but I know now that mine was nowhere near 280bhp.
If you have got 240 - 250 nice one, that should really go well.
BTW - after that I took my car to 2 different local RR's and got 30bhp's difference between the 2. Same day. Same set up.
yes ive had the side exit on for about a week now. i dont no the make of it but its straight through with no middle box its sounds amazing. yes had it RR and it was 233bhp at 24 psi.
well it looks nice mate, alot better than that huge one i see and santa pod last year, I'm thinking off making one up like that myself with no midbox. That's a great figure i know you said you spent a lot of time, money and well spec'd up parts building that engine from the ground up.

Can't believe how good this car looks since i sold it two years ago, justin is the guy who built my ep motorsport engine and definetely knows his engines.

do you know bud i think time flys by to quick these days, must of been about 4yrs ago i sold that car. Sold it to a young lad called greg who fitted a front mount intercooler into the bumper, then he sold it on to another lad who had to replace front bumper and respray some bits. So lee may be that second chap.
Never met justin, but i am lucky to have an engine that he rebuilt after it went pop. He did the rebuild from his own garage if i recall after Epmotorsport went out of business. Will get the engine in my silver phase 1 before christmas and then get it set up with its new GT28 turbo.

well just got back from automedics in stoke took the car out with justin and the external wastegate sounds amazing also sorted the side exit tailpipe out looks and fits better. then just as im going home justin puts the car in reverse the back engine mount goes and lifts the engine and puts a small dent in the bonnet. :mad:. so ive got no car till tuesday. its a good job its going for a full respray in the new year. ps i will post some up dated photos. in a min for you all.
