;)

Bodywork was getting a bit scruffy in a few places, sorting that out totally.... Trying to get an even more glass like finish...

17's are on the cards.

Lovely new engine and gearbox.

More CF inside (door cards/rear side cards, dashboard bits)

Porsche gauges in 1303 dash (when I get around to it!) bright white illumination (or thinking RGB and a simple randomiser, different random colour each time the ignition comes on :p push button to change to another random colour....)

Rear disk brakes will happen sometime

Lighter seats is quite likely.

Got some nice stereo gear to go back in (http://imagedynamicsusa.com/website/...s/image002.gif)

Planning the car to be finished to a higher standard than before....

Gonna take me a year or two to get where I want to be!

Cya,
SamC

An artist is never truly finished with their work, right? :agree:

Aint that the truth.

If I really did finish the car I would get bored and want to get something else!

Had a break from the normal car over the last 12 months and built this:

Fancied doing something different, was a CHEAP car (friend was gonna scrap her due to dodgy electrics), fixed her totally up then traded her in for a modern car! Saved me a small fortune doing that. She's now happily living with a gentleman from the city near where I live.

Sam, Thanks for the whopper of an order!

Most of it is ready to ship immediately!

Only thing that will take some time is the heads, that'll be about a month..

Good call, you'll love it. Which kit did you get? CF DTM? A-1 header? Ceramic lifters? Enjoy.

congrats Sam :) That will be one bad *** GL :agree:

zen February 3rd 2005 10:31

congrats. i can assure you that you will love the engine. i know have a 2316 TIV in a bug and a 2110 T1 in a Ghia. there is absolutely nothing like the kick in the a$$ of the TIV torque band...especially a RAT 2270.

Cheers for the comments peeps.

Already got a T4 (1970cc), so I know what the torque's like... Just upgrading to something with a chunk more power/torque :D
