could end up being one of those ' unfinished projects' for sale lol.
be a shame as be nice to see him finish it, but barely been anyhting for couple of years now i dont think. i know buying twice as many bits to build 2 engines is expensive, but some of the parts arent mega mega money compared to what you can buy.

There havent been any updates for a while i know both with buying parts, customers cars and other money out goings progress has been slow.
The car WILL be finished by myself an will not be sold.
I do not want to cut corners with the car, i could of put 2 standard let's BUT thats not what i wanted (i have 3 x LET's sat in my unit). I want to see 500bhp per engine and at least a 10sec 1/4 miles.
Some things i may have missed, overpriced, underpriced BUT i think its a good idea.
Its scary how much it comes in at
Steel Rods £250.00
Low Comp Pistons £450.00
ARP Mains £80.00
Bottom End Gurdle £40.00
Oil Spray Jets £100.00
Z20LET Pump setup £200.00
Rebuild Parts £200.00
1mm oversize valves £130.00
double valve springs £90.00
bronze valve guides £90.00
solid lifters £200.00
custom profile cams £150.00
ARP Head stud kit £110.00
Full Port and Polish with rebuild £400.00
Adjustable Veriners £120.00
Exhaust Manifold £600.00
Custom Inlets Manifold £800.00
Tial 44mm External Wastegate £270.00
Tial 50mm BOV £150.00
Garrett Turbo GT3071R £900.00
PWR Chargecooler setup £450.00
Solid Boost pipes and Samco Boost joiners £200.00
Good Exharst Setup (Turbo Back) £400.00
ECU and Setup £1,500.00
Good F28 six speed box £250
Quaife LSD £550
Lightweight Flywheel 71/4 £140
71/4 Twin Plate Paddle Clutch £400
Total £9,220.00
Then i have 2 of the engines so you looking £20k in the 2 engines
Then you have the shell to do which i have alot in the shell, brakes,fueling system.
I have everything off the list just need clutchs now which i am going of order within the next week of so, then over winter plod on and try and get it finished.
Along with building this car i have been building paying out for my other toys, like my Corsa C Combo Van with a C20LET and NOS and my superbike engine quad............

Yes still have that aswell, lives in my garage and has not been out for 2 years now. Just can not see my selling it, My Son is 11 soon so only has 6 years until he can drive so i will just give it him; rather than sell it to someone who will not look after it , Plus i have just bought the reg B34RDY so my lad can have the car and the reg.......

Corb - Went for a run on the motorway (closed off) the other week and the quads running a Vapor dash an it stopped keeping up (could not get a signal as the wheels where moving to fast) at 115mph an it was still pulling.
