Hey guys, after the thread i started awhile ago asking for the bhp advice i've decided what i want to go for as the final aim. I was going to start the work now but because i want to go to japfest i've decided to delay it until june so i do everything properly and at one time only, should be finished by mid/end of july as i've only got saturdays and sundays to work on it.

 

I will post pics here of the parts and the engine rebuilding when i start,

Like i mentioned in the other thread my aim is 500+ at the flywheel .

 

Final Spec:

 

615 injectors

Intercoolers

Pulleys

Chip (will only be used until i can get ryan to remap my Ems)

Aem ems

Koni suspension/lowering springs

Hicas eliminator bar

Rear tie rods

Uprated clutch stage 3 capable of 565 bhp/595 torque with lightned flywheel.

Cometic headgaskets 88 x 1.2mm

Acl Main racing bearings and connecting

Cp piston ring set

Complete engine gasket kit

New Oem oil pump

New Oem water pump

Front Ksport 8 pot brakes

New starter motor

Baileys BOV

Apexi Avcr boost controller

Ams manifolds

To come soon :

I might be missing one or two things from that list but this is just what i can remember now . Also not going for cams yet , want to see the results for the above.

 

Portwork/polishing/valve jobs aswell .

 

As for the exterior i've decided to blend the bodykit next month and respray in Rosso Scuderia Red .

 

A massive thanks to everyone who's been so helpfull ( jimmer , smithy's, Stu etc .. ) really appreciated guys, top club ! Cant wait to go to JAE this year and my first too :clap:

Thanks guys , nice to have some nice feedback :biggrin: the car is going to get resprayed between this week and the next hopefully in rosso scuderia red ,it's almost the red i had on but this ones a bit brighter , will post pics when work starts .

  • Author

The car was resprayed yesterday Ferrari rosso red, still has to be buffed/polished and alot of small things to be painted like rubbers, scuttle panel etc all in satin black but i chose not to have it buffed and polished yet until i have the engine in , the colour looks alot brighter than the previous one. I cant wait to see it all polished up : ) the wheels are also going to be re-done and gotta fix a small crack on the carbon fibre bonnet that's going back on as i like the contrast with the red/carbon. some pics even though quality isn't that great :

Hey guys , unfortunately the project had to stop for a few months as i had to go work out of the city but i've been back for two weeks now and i've started on it already , engine is now put back together and in place , here's a few pics and hoping to have it back on the road in two or three sundays time as i only work on it then.

The exterior is done apart from the carbon bonnet thats still going back on it and stills needs a good machine polish and a few things here and there.

Cant wait to have it back on the road now : ) altho the weather is rubbish now :no:

This is a very thorough rebuild going on! Well done on the progress. T28's are going to give you some pretty impressive shove - be careful in the crappy weather before you go unleashing the full fury!

 

Well done Pixas - bodywork very unique on this car and looking lovely after the respray.

thanks for the nice feedback mate much appreciated : ) gives a bloody headache but its all worth it when we see the results. its a shame that i couldnt go to JAE really wanted to go :(

 

and indeed about the weather but at least it doesnt rain all the time in the winter lol , really trying to go to the zedworld december meet.

 

i really wanted to have something different hence why i went for this look , i personally love it otherwise i wouldnt have blended all in , i must be a crazy but oh well lol :innocent:

 

still have bigger plans for next year but for now it will be more than enough to have fun :D:D

Get ready for the "Look mum, there's a Ferrari!" kids comments!! LOL

 

Didn't see a boost controller in that lot - or have you already got one?

 

What the hell have you got planned for next year? 500bhp not enough eh? :scared:

  • Author

haha :D already got one mate an Apexi Avcr. its enough i think lol :D but i want to change other things like the koni suspension ( altho its new ) for a full SPL coilover system, 2.5'' intercooler pipes/different intercoolers, better clutch, cams but it depends on how the car will be really but for now im sure it will be okay : )
