Nice one Neil. You have many followers. Again well done mate.

Wow.


Wow. Wow. Wow.

That car basically ticks all of the boxes for my dream car, you have done a truly fantastic job there!

Thanks - thats quite a common reaction - especially to the paint scheme.

The car is my dream & I cant wait to get it finished - hopefully in the summer.... on with the engine build now, so soon time to start the final car assembly..

always liked the stratos and this one looks the nuts shame about your first one

Looks like a really nice car. Bet it will sound superb with 500bhp!

The engine is more or less built now......

Engine is together on a stand now and car just about ready for fitting.

Engine is now running, ready for Mapping session next week.

Videos of the start on mysite. Not very good video & the sound is poor, it sounds great in real life!

Awesome website, ive seen it before as my brother has seen you on the alfa forum

That engine looks lovely

Thats quite a large part of my day I have just lost on that site.

Well worth it too. Looks lovely!

The Car is at AET - Engine Bedded in and a couple of power runs. 450 at the wheels so about 505 at the flywheel - Fantastic

Lovely stuff!

Final Result 475Hp & 498lb/ft at the wheels! There was more to be had if I had wanted, but that should be enough!

Yes you'll probably get by with that won't you............!

Well done

The fun was short lived, MOT in the morning & no 4th gear in the afternoon
Turns out all the teeth fell off the gears....


i had a couple of spare boxes, so managed to rebuild it in a couple of days & managed to get a few miles in before coming back to work, these miles included a few 0-60 times, the best of which was 3.65 seconds, so i'm pretty happy with that. I also had a photo shoot for PPC magazine & the feature will be in the september issue....

Other than that I have been investigating gearbox options & so far it looks like I need a Full on Sequential race box to cope with the power....

Looks like I have my 15minutes of fame in PPC magazine this month

That 1 nice motor

and the magazine article is now available on my site

Excellent read, well done to all involved

Really enjoyed the article, lovely car

The car is now back on the road with a Toyota MR2 turbo gearbox. My budget didnt run to a sequential, so the next best option is a standard box that would cope with the power & the MR2 Turbo box is good for 700+ BHP, so should do for my car. Its a lot beefier box and heavier, so looks like it should do ok..

Photos of the conversion are on my website.

MR2 Box Conversion.

Its covered about 100miles in the last 2 days & so far everything is looking good. The last few miles I finally get to turn up the boost & try out the car properly & boy is it quick!

2nd gear Launch

Very very nice the Toyota box conversion was beautifully done.
