Skiddy lifting !

I've seen this incarnation of Steve's car up close a couple of times as the project has progressed and it kicks ass. It looks purposeful and angry and the paint job is extremely nice. the only thing I'd change would be to go for dark bronze wheels rather than the bright finish, but each to their own.

Lots of Rocky Auto vibe, which was the intention. \m/

ah ha.... I feel a challenge coming on..... an estate vs 2 tarts.... mmmm I will have a think... mind you. must be for pink slips and on my terms, if you loose you loose the car... up for it? I am !!!
Its not for me to comment on your inner feelings but let me tell you here and now Steve and me will not be challengening any member or their car either here or on the continent to anything. End of.
I am just so pleased that Steves car is back on the road. I dont mind going to events myself as I have done this year but having one of your mates along in his car too just doubles the fun IMO.
We have chatted about future plans but as already said there are still outstanding jobs to do on it.

mind you. must be for pink slips and on my terms,

Has it had any tickling under the bonnet at all?

Recently no,

The engine is the same as it was 2 years ago, full race, fuel injected (individual TB's) all steel, custom built, custom machined cylinder head, blueprinted producing around 300 hp, the list goes on and on.

Have you got your build photo's still? I'd love to see it inside, if possible?

Full race ?

In which catergory Steve ?:confused:

Some future competition was mentioned - I suggested it was 'time-attack' - are you limiting to that or going bolder ?

No.....and no.
Not exactly sure if its inside the car or the engine
So I posted a double negative .to cover both eventualities.

FFS Sean... give it a rest mate.
I know its your right on an open forum to say what you want but Im rapidly tiring of it.
Neither Steve or I are interested in having an online open foum debate about the future plans of private individuals and their cars.
You must have known when I posted up a closed thread with a few pictures for general interest that I really didnt want a public debate about the car.. but you just couldnt resist starting one could you..

Im sorry I have confused you Sean, by full race I refer to the quality, level of preparation and componants used and the design and tolerance, and that it is appropriate for use in a race environment where sustained rpms, power delivery and reliability are essential.

The only thing I would add is perhaps a dry sump system.

I can email you the spec but its a very long list, and most of it wouldnt mean much to you anyway.
So maybe we wil leave it at that ehhh
Thanks to those who have made positive comments, I love the car and I'm looking forward to having some fun with it, hey maybe the old girl can upset a few upstarts in the process.

Oh there is no confusion Steve.
Its just Sean at his arrogant belligerent worst.Its all premeditated with mal intent.
Im truly tired of it and to be honest my long standing friendship with him is now stretched to breaking point.
 
'bloody keyboard'...I WAS genuinely interested in his turn towards tracks after the many years he has concentrated on runs and I was alway a track man. Now a 'competition' slant was mentioned and some photos put up - of course you've whetted our appetites for more info - it would have been an insult to have ignored it !

There is NOTHING premeditated and certainly no mal-intent, I'm not seeking to be belligerent, I'll admit to being arrogant but Steve and a lot of others here are no angles either.

I'm surprised at you really, a long-standing freindship at risk over a few virtual exchanges - you're getting way too sensitive mate !

If you don't want any discourse on the topic of the car, then what was the point of posting photos of it in the first place?

If you don't want to talk about it, then don't publish photos of it.
