I have driven it on the road,the performance is not known but I guess that it should be at least 550hp and maybe getting on for 600 but that will be after rotorstock that it starts to go alot quicker.At rotorstock I will take it pretty easy if I can get it there.
Hvae you thought about a short block triple for your car?Turboed of course!

Good luck at rotostock, I have to take the bloody BMW, never mind. it\'s awsome on fuel, 48MPG and still 205BHP.


Short block, not that clever, I think Pip is going to rebuild an EX Cosmo lump.:confused:

:god Ho Yes, this baby is sos so LOUD!


Fair dooos, I think people expect too much, It ain\'t been in there long. Give the guy a break. I recon it needs lots of tweeky things before she starts to fly. I recon Carl will be looking at near 6/650 BHP then.

GOOD LUCK WITH IT MATE:wave

I cant begin to describe this beast having heard it for real on Sat.

Absolutely pure evil.

It was great to finally meet you Carl enjoyed the chats when you werent too busy lol!.  I\'m gonna watch the footage tomorrow and see if i can get the same noise level from my speakers :D .

Anyway hope all goes well with KABOOM!!!!! let me know when your next running and I\'ll come down and lend a hand if you need it I\'ll even bring some ear defenders;)

Regards Jase

Thanks for the kind comments guy\'s and offer of help Jason.
I was not really stressing the car at all,just trying my level best to take it real easy,there are lots of little things that still need doing,and a couple of big things too!It would be so easy just to put your foot down and let it go,but I need to address a few issues along the way to make it reliable and quick,not just quick for a short time and then it won\'t start because it is worn out!
I will get there in the end.
A project like this takes alot of time,and money!2 commodoties I do not have in great abundance.
Still at least you guys now know what an unsilenced naturally aspirated rotary sounds like,and that was the original intention.Some quicker times are yet to come.

Carl

Hugely appreciated too Carl - it\'s impossible to explain how it sounds unless you\'ve heard it \'up close and personal\' (i.e. from within a mile or so!).

The sight of the exhaust flattening the grass for a good 10\' behind it was also impressive.  Better not try it near dry grass though or you might see the project go up in flames!

This car and Ross\'s 10.43 were the highlights for me - even better than the 9.3 liner!

I was in the loo\'s (without Gurj for a change), when Carl\'s car fired up.  Can\'t really miss it... *lol*

And to run quarter times like that when taking it "easy" when other cars were breaking their necks and getting similar times...  That\'s going to be a monster when it\'s done...!!!

Good luck with it, and I can\'t wait to see a proper run out of it!

Good to finally see the beast in the flesh and hear her running! Especially after the number of conversations we\'ve had about it over the last six months or so! Well done Carl, amazing piece of automotive engineering.
