That blows you have to sell it. I was looking forward to seeing it done.

No takers for the almost finished project. Was a steal so I'm good with that. :rolleyes: We're finishing it up now and it will go back for sale after a shakedown week on as many CA trackdays as I can manage in 14 days. :D

Just a few pics. Nothing really exiting but it's coming together nicely.

E-brake done

Doors assembled incl. power windows. One door is a repro and took a lot of fitting!

Hey what do you know, finally some movement on the build again. :yes: The car is now at Best of Show Coachworks for final assembly as CPR has become too busy with manufacturing turbo kits. Thanks for the recommendations for BOS, cool place and crew.

So does this mean you'll get to keep it now or will you still have to sell the car? Glad to see it's getting some attention again.

glad to see things are getting done on it!

Nope, still going up for sale when finished (and test driven!) unfortunately.

Colour is going to look awesome. Good Luck on the build:thumbsup:

Going slowly forward but we should be ready to load an initial tune and fire it up this week.

Hey Cpt - I saw your car at the shop a couple of weeks ago. She looks mean sitting on the ground...:thumbsup:

Car is now ready to run and has been trailered up to Performance Associates in San Dimas. Has been fired up for the first time and is now ready for some serious tuning on the dyno! :unibrow:

That's great!

I know you said it's still for sale but do you plan to come to the states and drive it before you sell it?

Initial setup on the dyno is now done, playing it safe with 10 psi tops until it's all broken in and set up. Tune is for maximum driveability and fun, not bragging rights. Later we'll likely go to around 15 psi.

624 rwhp @ 5.380 rpm
625 ft.lb. @ 4.815 rpm
91 pump gas

CAn you tell us the heads/headwork and cam specs on the motor ?
Compression ?

Even though it says BBK on it that looks like the TFS-R intake ?

Absolutely:
Edelbrock Victor Jr. heads, fully ported by Total Performance in Santee. Of course port matched in and out.
Custom grind hyd. roller cam by CamMotion, duration @ 0.050” is 226° intake and 220° on exhaust with lift at 0.540” intake and 0.542” exhaust, 114° lobe separation and 110° centerline.
9.2:1 compression ratio.

The intake is really a BBK Performance 5.0L SSI-R Race Intake Manifold incl. their fuel rail kit. Nice piece although they wouldn't sponsor a dime, cheap bastards! ;) The matching BBK Power-Plus 80mm throttle body got lost somewhere along the way so we're using a LS3 unit now.

A little delay getting it trucked back from San Dimas but now they're on it in Escondido:

Very nice!! How come its going up for sale? Was it built to sell?? Either way cool build.

Import rules have changed, making it too expensive to register here...

Another small update: Finally my countless hours creating a one off carbon fiber rear wing are showing. Thats probably a full weeks work right there.
Also note how its repositioned to where it actually has some effect:

That really sucks, you can't import the car EVEN after you spent so much time on it.

Visit once a year to where you now live, and see your family and friends.

Then get your butt on a plane and fly to Mexico and start north. No matter where you cross you will never be believed to being from Europe.

Start a new life here with that kick as car.

Besides sounds like the US Government will be passing out permanent passes to live here before long.

Great Build.

Ty

First test drive. Still 10-15 small things on the to-do list, then cut & polish, pinstriping and C-stripes.
Drives like a rocket on rails though!
