Its far from fully finished, but its getting there. Engine is capable of 8000rpm reliably. At Gti Festival it was running the standard exhaust and engine wasn't setup so really down on power but the custom made 2 1/4" race systm gets made on the 22nd July. Then its having a bigger intercooler fitted along with a stand alone oil pressure system and being booked in for its setup and remap. Power wise, it will be well over 200hp. And after remap will also be having Aquamist Water injection fitted.
Brakes are standard ish at mo, but im going to do the brakes in a oner fully.
Got some race mirrors to fit aswell.
The car will actually be going off the road in August for some serious further fettling, where the angle grinder is also coming out to lose some more weight from it. Rollcage is also being extended into the struts aswell and its having the front shocks replaced by custom made ones from Multimatic suspension system and the springs replaced all round for stiffer ones more suited to circuit work, rather than the soft ones that are on it at for road use.
An LSD is currently being looked into, trying to source one from Germany.
Back to bare essentials, cage installed, engine removed.
Totally stripped out.
Compomotive wheels.
Still in the garage.
A change of wheels.
Bits and Pieces.
Next to the 'proper' race car, Formula Renault.
Engine finally back in and being put back together.
Finally on the road, at Snetterton Race Circuit. With another change of wheels.
Another shot of the car at Snetterton.
The engine as it is now at GTi Festival. Getting a new large intercooler shortly.
I'll update these pics and write up in a few weeks when my engine has further come toegther with new intercooler, exhaust, and stand alone etc. And some vids to come...
Hope you enjoyed the experience as much as me.
Cheers
