That sounds and looks absolutely awesome - one can only dream #;o)

Here is a short HD clip from my test run of the car on sunday. I had to take it slow as it was the first time trying it. And it was so slippery due to all the rubber from the drifting event that had gone on there that weekend. I could hardly break without the front tiers locking, or when trying to accelerate in 2nd the rear wheels would just slip. But you get a good sound :)

Had the car out on the track yesterday. After some messing with a exhaust insert to quiet down the noise we messured 97db. But it was too restrective, so i lost way to much power. So it will be removed this week. But the noise went up and up, as the silencing jot burnt up :P But look at carchemistry :)

Now it was the first real test of the car and it was pretty good to drive. But will need to go back to power steering as it was way too hard to turn into corners. And to correct if it would spin out or loose rear grip. So a power steering will go on as soon as i can find a good electrical one.

Now i have a strange vibration in the rear, wich i think comes from the new breaks. I will need to investigate, but when pushing the car, the same sound(vibration is there). But u can\'t feel the vibreation, but you can hear it.

Other then that, the water temps where about 92 degreece, ambient air temps where 28 degreece and about 80% humidity. Oil temps tho where abit high, 110 degrece after 7 laps. But this is mainly due to the oil, as i was running on 10-40 mineral oil. And the fact that my cooling ducts to the oil coolers only covers about half the oil coolers. Will make new ducting to get the entire surface of the coolers coverd.

So got some more work to do on it.
