Thumbs up Oh My F****ing God!!!!!!

Hehe, I was the other "board member" along for the ride.... and I couldn't have said it better myself. That was absolutely the craziest ride I've ever been on. Car was pulling like mad, forward and sideways. I was in the rear seat and barely avoided being decapitated by loose CD's being hurled all over the place ... fighter jet like g's? Sheeeit, put this thing on a launch pad and it will give the space shuttle a run for its money. That car is crazy fast. I got into my Evo afterwards (which ain't all that bad at ~300whp), and I swear I thought I was driving a Ford Festiva for a second ... it just felt THAT slow in comparison.

All I can say is mad props to Martin and his crew, I just hope you can keep it on the track at the shootout...

So J ... how are you liking that Evo, now that it's been tuned and has a powerband wider than 1000rpm?

Sheet. i hope RC Developments and Noriss Design get a look at this coz you guys are right up there with their gigures now.

be nice to see the motor with your 2.3 kit in and the new turbo, along with water/meth injection on race gas. you should be puching around the 900bhp marck (at the crank). LOL. do you think you could push the presure upto 3bar (around 45psi)?

thanks Chris.

so, in other words, you're starting to sound like Martin when he was driving his beast. Giggling as his car was trying to hop a lane or two across traffic . I'll be very curious to see if you go with a built 2.0 or stroker. IMHO (all technical issues aside) I'd go with a built 2.0 just because I like hearing my engine screaming at me at over 8000rpms ... but that's just me

I'm glad you got your car finally sorted out, though. It is a sweet looking and driving ride...

yep, it's the same insane little girl laughter that makes others uncomfortable to the point of shating themselves from nervous bowels.

Is this on a stock drivetrain? How much power can the differentials and driveshafts take?
