No intercoolers here matey. Purly full on CC and petrol grunt so far...!!! Mmmm Nitrous!!

Regarding the colour, I am thinking of keeping white for the time being but am due back to work next week so will have plenty of time to make my mind up.

Forgot to say...the car was origionally a 1300XL in its former life. But virtually the whole car has been modified with the new power plant and chasis set ups.

Goes like bloody hell...Whey Hey!!

Re: New Beastie In the Making...!!

Well don't forget to pop in so I can have a go next time your down south.

PS Why bother with a RS200? Why don't you save up and buy a multi story car park?

Re: New Beastie In the Making...!!

I would get one but the view from the back of the house is too nice. So I have started my plans to take over the world with an underground labrynth.

Eeeeevil...!!!

I wonder how this beastie will go in the snow??

Re: New Beastie In the Making...!!

No traction mate, in any gear! You may just get it moving trying to pull away in 5th!

[BigDave]

Re: New Beastie In the Making...!!

I reckon a big bag of sand in the back and some proper snow tyres and it will be top fun. I am going to have to try something like, this is my daily driver!!

[Magrah]

Re: New Beastie In the Making...!!

Dave mate you are kidding? your daily drive! Lol mate. But I guess it's the best of a bad bunch so to speak!

[BigDave]

Re: New Beastie In the Making...!!

yeah the others are for when I am feeling scruffy!!

Re: New Beastie In the Making...!!

Here are a few of the interior shots...





Very plush dont you think??

Re: New Beastie In the Making...!!

Dave mate, out of interest, you have to move the bulkhead back to fit the V8, has that made much of a difference? And its nearly 3pm how comes your not drunk?

[BigDave]

Re: New Beastie In the Making...!!

Raj, the bulk head move has moved everything back really just due to the new steering and pedal set up. the dash is in the same place but just further away. It feels almost like you are sat in the back. Kind of wierd at first but I am used to it now.

Also...Its later than 3 now and I have been to the pub!! Mmmm Lager. Had to wait in for building materials to be delivered.

Mmmm new Garage!!

Re: New Beastie In the Making...!!

Is that the rear shock mounts poking through the parcel shelf?

What sort of axle is in it Dave?
