It might have taken longer than expected, but the photos suggest it was worth the wait. Your car's looking great, Danny.

V nice. Restrained, but still menacing.

Defo needs the bits in the engine bay though to properly 'pop'

I'm only doing a cf airbox in the engine bay the rest of the carbon is exterior. Honestly sonny it's hard to comment to much I fitted the supercharger in December and it was back at Mrc around feb so I've not had a chance to hammer it. I'm at knock hill this Friday so I'll be able to comment a little better then

Danny - was the engine rebuild and uprated engine internals that you did purely to do with being supercharged or was it to do with more power down the road such as nitrous etc ?

That engines still being built, really being done so I can run silly amounts of nitrous. It's only rods that's needed and balancing Richard is lookig at headwork but feels they are very well designed from the factory so may not be needed.

What time are you going to be at Knockhill, Danny? And is the session open to people that simply want to turn up to stare in awe at your car? :D

Fair enough - I was just hoping to get a sneak peek at the car as Knockhill's not that far from me.

It sounds like a top afternoon out though...enjoy.
