Jamie,

Can you post contact details for the people that did your conversion ? I got my suspension and Brakes done at Plans just after you and like you am after more power.

Thanks

Had a pax and a quick drive in Jamie’s car yesterday (many thanks!)- what a beast The conversion looks really neat, and the car absolutely flies. Full bore acceleration has that never ending, push in the back feel that I have only experienced before in Noble and a 911 Turbo. Unlike the 240, the car still has a noticable second cam kick which makes the whole experience even more dramatic. Only downside for me is a hell of a lot of supercharger whine, although it was a foot down blast and Jamie tells me this settles when cruising.Shame there is no one offering a similarly well engineered conversion in the UK.

Jamie, you really need to be looking at aiming the hose for the brake cooling at the center of the disc/bell rather than on the face of the disc itself :thumbs:

looks good though mate

28

Cheers will have a look at that

29

So whats next jamie? How much further can you take the car as a road and track project?Or will you go as far as mr terrorist and go for a track orienated car?

Everything looks fab, including the new avatar and signature, speaking of which, don�t suppose we could see a larger version of the first pic of the signature

Excellent - glad to see someone in the UK bite the bullet.

Looking at your video, is that the amber engine malfunction light on or just the glow from the bottom right bulb for the instrument lights?

Cheers
