Turbodrive 250S - I'm getting one fitted!

Well I’m getting the Komotec Turbodrive (which is actually a S/C) fitted to my Purple Peril very soon - reading between the lines it should easily make 260bhp!!

sounds like one of those resistors you buy off ebay for 30 quid that promises you a gazillion horsepower increase

You’re going to need 260bhp with all that weight and drag from the bodywork

Have you got any pictures of the completed Purple beasty yet?

Yer all jealous

Some pics ; )

I think that looks great! It could be even better if you just lost the OTT wing. And maybe ditch the arch extensions. Oh and I don’t like the colour much

Seriously, it’s not for me but I think it’s great that somebody’s done that.

Have you got any pictures from behind? Those three all show essentially the same aspect of the car.

I knew it wouldn’t be for everyone but I do like to be different - that said I’ll be selling it anyway & going for an even more outrageous project

Yep Hangar 111 - mine will be the first to be done so fimngers crossed!! lol

Were those pics from that Lipscombs thing at Brands, looks like a hell of a turn out .

I think it looks great Mate - just needs lowering 10mm!

Oh, and in Pesky orange as well…

Yes David from Brands

Thanx Russ - yeah agree with the 10mm, got some different wing options too & we could have painted it a different colour in the end as we nearly painted the whole car to blend it in!! lol

Re: 10mm - I think Russ is referring to the car’s ride height, not the wing.

Junks, curious to know how the extra wheel offset on your car affects the steering/handling. Presumably too early to tell if the wheel bearings are holding up? Looks far better now the arches are blended in.

Yeah thanx for making that clear Rob lol

Well according to aload of info that I didn’t understand Simon at Reverie says that the loads on the bearings during cornering are actually less - more on a straight line where it isn’t so critical - he did show me all the technical info (not his I might add but from a different source).

As for the handling I’m not the best person to comment but it will apparently be getting a 3 page spread in EVO very soon so…
