Ok At the moment we are in Bulgaria not, due back in the UK until around the end of Marck 07.
Pip had not quite completed the car to his standard when we left so the car is being completed on his time until we get back next year when it will go to LeMans 07 then off around the EU to visit some show ( if I can find any to to go to) .
So he had a smalll over heating problem to overcome and tunning bits. but he is hoping to take to around the high 500 BHP\'s without pushing it too far. although should be able to make over the 600BHP line if pushed which we don\'t want to do, ((((Toooo M

haha, indeed....just very curious really, as there is obviously a lot of one off work with this project, so i can only imagine its a blank check type job........it just fasinates me how much it costs for a job like this:WaveBye
:eek:
Including those nice big brakes, bonnet, and all the engine gearbox bits. your bill would be around £36000.00 Thats without paint, wheels, ICE, and all that crap, and the water injection system. I have spent something like or near £50000.00 on it so far. And I still need the interior to sorted. It\'s not bad bad ( interior wise) but it needs to be redone in nice leather (know anyone who could do this for me ?
Thats why It won\'t get used very much. it\'s evolving into one of those silly show things. Was not intended to happen like that, but something went wrong with my plans. Phewww! Others like our friend Gary, had the same thing happen to him. He went down the drag car road and has spend silly money on that, so it happens. It\'s like being a drug addict, you start take the bloody things and the next thing you know your into it bigtime. Not me of course, but you know what I mean.
ANyway if it goes wrong, I now live almost 2000 miles from the UK, and it\'s a long drive to get it back to Pips, Cos I would not trust the locals to work on a push bike in this Country, It\'s way byond their understanding!
Hello mate,how are you doing??????
You know i completely forgot about my bonnet,has Pip still got it?
You are right there Normski about cost,over the 6 years ive owned my FD i reckon you could easily double what you have spent,6 figures for sure!!!!!!!
Gary
:cool Hows things( most important hows that the little one getting on, I hope great, but let us know) I hope he\'s still giving you hard time!!!!:D
Anyway, It\'s started to snow in the mountains here last night, great if your a ski freak! not me!!! I fall over all the time. Pip\'s still got the bonnet. so give him a buzz. Have you moved on with your thing or is it still in mothballs. Drop us all some nice pics. As said my thing is just about there now. Due to import crap over here can\'t bring it in untill they go into the Eu in Jan 07, or it will cost arm and a leg, or 2. I am attempting to find some nice show and venues for the old girl next year ( thats the car I mean)
Still need this Interior done or sorted a bit. Is Carl still around as I think he was doning some of that stuff. ??
Should be over in the Uk around March April 07 for a bit, and hope to do a show or 2 when there, before moving on to LeMans 24 hours. Now thats a must!
Whats happening with yours? Still can\'t wait to see it, hear it, and watch it run the strip! should put my thing to shame anyway! horses for courses I suppose! :Typing

Ok my mobile has changed to a bloody Bulgarian system which most of the time don\'t work very well or at all when calling from abroad. Abit hit and miss type of thing. Works great out here but thats another story! I am on skype username of normski26. Great system free download from the internet and it\'s as clear as a bell to. ANd, it\'s free, talk for hours for nothing. I like free, it works for me!
Realy pleased Jack is moving back on course, one breave, tuff, little kid you have there! Tell him well done from me!! and not let up giving you a hard time :D
This car of yours is sounding quite sinister, Perhaps I won\'t race it after all. I know when I am stuffed!! :god So, is it on track for next year?
As far as shows go, From around end of June next year it should be on the road, ( I mean trailer ) So any show attendance offers could be good. As said, I would like to get the inside sorted a liitle, If you could get an idea of price for a nice job done in good quality leather, door cards centre section where gear stick area is, back seats and area around the back where speakers go, also around steering wheel would be nice to. A good general pose up so it maches the outside a bit more.
You can mail me on djnormski@hotmail.com for any other information you need.
Regards Normski RX7 gen3 nutter. :Thumbsup!
P.S snow boarding !! did you know Bulgarias premiar snow board site is only about 25mins up the road from me , No crap it\'s true
