Car Nearly Ready!!!!

Well after quite some time, lots of delays, my car is FINALLY nearly ready.

Goes to dyno on monday hoping for good figures(fingers crossed)

Hopefully going to get a trackday in before oulton to make sure everything ok.

Ride height still needs to be set as its bit low at moment.

Heres a couple of pictures.

More to come, when it is finally finished, but safe to say, other than bodywork and interior everything is new.

What’s been done to it and what dyno figures are you expecting?

I think quite a bit has been done and we can expect Quo to have pushed the envelope again.

It should really be a rocketship Christian and I can’t wait to see it. I hope we can fit in a trackday before Oulton.

I’m expecting a phone call on Monday matey :wink:

Who’s sorting it ? Scuffers/Randy ?

Yeah, cant wait to see it matey. I think Scuffers has been doing all of the work!!

what size are those tyres?

C’mon Christian, spill some beans ? What have you had done ?

Fully built motor ?

Ok give me a chance, heres whats been going on…

As im supposedly moving to the states at the begining of next year, my car had to be immaculate to get through customs/import so decided to give to scuffers to give it a good work over and make it as good/better than new.

Anyway car was stripped back to bare chassis and had complete rebuild from scratch.

1st all 4 corners were rebuilt, using New Eliseparts Wishbones which are both lighter and stronger than the standard S1 exige versions, it has S2 GT Uprights with S2 Bearing packs, and Ertalon Bushes.

Also Scuffers had my Nitrons completely rebuilt using Eibach springs, and to his specifications.


Front end has Eliseparts motorsport ARB and 4 pot calipers, New undertray, New steering arms and rebuilt rack. HID Driving Lamps also.

Whilst the rear of the car had the subframe taken off, stripped down and passivated, looks very bling in gold, new toe links fitted also.

Interior wise all I have changed is the Belts to FIA approved 5 point harnesses rest is standard.

Engine Bay has has new engine mounts, New road car 4-1 manifold, New throttle body and porting work on the JRSC castings. New oil cooler lines, new fuel pipe lines and New intank fuel pump.

No piccies of the manifold but here underneath and plenty of heat shielding.

Weve had wheels custom made which are 7j fronts and 9.5j Rears, Ive put Khumo V70A tyres on them which Dave_oz recommended which are 205 fronts and 255 rears, just for a bit more grip you understand.

Well its taken some time and me annoying scuffers with loads of phone calls and ideas, some of which as still work in progress, more to come on that at a later date we finally got round to dynoing it today, heres the results.

Pleased with results still more to come, more ideas to bring to fruition.

Unfortunately no more piccies till i get car back on wednesday.

Oh and Scuffers comment after he took it for quick spin and still managed to light up my rear tyres…

“F**k me thats got some poke” quite happy really :slight_smile:

Christian

Well done Christian - that is gonna rock. You are gonna be a proper liability in that :wink:

Can’t wait to see it.

Yeah - he should sorting out the pics from Silverstone, instead of having a go at you! :smiley:

Sounds awesome ! - look forward to seeing it!

Any pics of the wheels ? - they sound very interesting! :smiley:

I’m trying to - stop distrurbing me you lot

Cool man!!

Sounds superb. That throttle body really makes a difference at the top end!!!

Have the S2 uprights been used to give you a wider choice of wheel?

I’m trying to think of a comment about having not to use the back door :crazy:

Hope it flies through be great having it with you in the States and I’m looking forward to seeing it on the 30th Christian.

The car looks loverly now. Simon’s work, as always, is impeccable. Enjoy it mate!

Now get over here and do mine Scuffers!!!
