  1. cheers Paul, not long now.. Don't sell yous, I need to kick your arse around a track first!
  2. You should have heard it on the road today!! Wastegate and dump valve working in harmony! I would have taken some vids but my hands were all busy holding on for dear life :D I can't wait till E38 either! Its going to be close to get what I want done done though! Interior will hopefully be fitted next weekend if all goes to plan but I have so many bits on backorder from TVR and don't know if they will get me the parts on time or not! We'll see. E38 is going to be so mad! I will be on the show and shine I think both days next to Jay Renshaws beast and another of our mates corrado, which will be a show stopper if there ever was one (depending if he gets it finished, he's only re-trimming the interior and re-spraying it before E38 and he only started 2 days ago!
  3. Jim I was shaking with excitement when I got out the car, I think I was also shaking because I was ever so slightly shocked :shock: how quick it was and the fact that I had no bolt holding the steering wheel on, no seat belt, the seat was resting in the car... etc.. you get the idea. It has given me the inclination to get it finished and MOT'd. I so want to go for a good drive in it!! I'll be selling rides at E38 to go around the field I think, its 4wd after all :lol: :lol:
  4. Took it for its first shake down today, just up the road and back and bloody hell !!!!!! !!! !!! !!! couldn't get over the power! Its only mapped to about 6000 RPM but so what, it flies! Can't wait to feel what its like between 6-8000 RPM !!! I reckon its running around 300bhp at the moment so still more to come but it feels so much quicker than any other car I've been in! And thats saying something considering I went for a ride in a 360 spider the other day! Just pleased its to a stage now where an MOT isn't too far away! B
  5. still has a 'Gay' number plate :lol: :lol:
  6. Not really mate, interior is still away being trimmed. No visual change to the car yet as I've just been working on the engine/wiring. B
  7. cheers Guys, turbomagikz, :wink: CoxyLaad, Yep I'm please with the new bonnet, only got it a week ago. No dohnut action I'm afraid, being a bit gentle on her at the moment.. Bally, Tell me about it, ittching to get it on the road! GIXXERUK, cheers mate, yep good size garden for car testing :wink:
  8. Always take it too far, there is plenty of room for my head, but yours on the other hand... humm :afro: ??
  9. if you say so neil... what ever floats your boat.. :-P
  10. Thanks Bally! It was much louder than I was expecting.. I'm hoping to fix the minor issues next weekend and take it for a proper test drive on the tarmac... I'm very much looking forward to E38. Will be cool to see a few of our cars finally complete.. Jay, mine etc etc. There is some cool cars going, trust me 8)
  11. you dumb arse! Its just missing its bumpers ..lol, yep the black smoke wasn't a good moment, won't be giving it too much gas again before the mapping has been completed. Your such a butthead :!: :wink: B
