Hi Justy,
Well,we put some miles on the car today.Had quite a bit of fun.
The car is beautifully LOUD!
There are a few minor things to sort out but we are very happy with the progress so far.It is not such a slow project anymore!
I don\'t expect any great shakes at "Rotorstock" but should hopefully have the car there for the event,and may do some slow runs in her just for the show.
It is going to take quite a bit of tuning to get the car setup as I would like it.I guess that a bit later in the year it should be running in anger.

Regards
Carl

Big thanks to everyone who has been helping me!!!!!
The weather was good too which helped,I got a bit burnt.LOL!
Regards
Carl

P.S. I am still grinning!:D

Doesn\'t sound right Carl... slow runs in a 4 rotor??? Is this a big parade so nobody thinks it\'ll be competative, then you go and pull a 9 second pass?  Or is it knackered all ready? LOL

Quite the opposite of knackered Matt,as Carl said,needs some tweaking.Sounds amazing under load,cant wait to hear it being pushed,imagine the noise at 7-8000rpm..........my god.

Good to see you yesterday Gary.Thanks for you and your Dads help too.
Should be pretty good to get some rpm on it.
Apparently we were making more noise than the jet car yesterday when it did it\'s run,and you know how far away from the track we were!When I got back to the pits a lot of people were talking about the noise,one guy said that he got up into the stand and when he saw how far away we were with the car he could not beleive how loud it was at that distance.Remember that these are hardened V8 veterans.

I think that alot of people would be happy with a parade at first.
Anyway the nines should be Geffs to have since he has a dog box internals in his gearbox now and an extra 50 horses under the bonnet,and some lightening with new panels.Tims car shouldn\'t be far off by all accounts.
I just want to be the noisiest car there.

Good to see it\'s getting there Carl, nothing like a good wind up... you don\'t seem to have bitten though, which is a shame:rolleyes: I\'ll have to try harder in future! :cool So it\'s you versus the Norton Bike Boys in a sound off then?

Not yet he doesnt, not yet he doesnt and not yet he doesnt! There\'s a lot of work to do if the car is tobe there I\'m afraid.

Tim should be \'pretty\' quick tho to hold up the rotary corner, and Brian with those ports

It is happening though.

[20B_boy]

Yep, but in 2 weeks...? I may be out of touch as I\'ve been in Germany for the last 3 days with Max Phil and Chris at Nurburg

To my knowledge the box isnt built, the car is in lieterally as many pieces as it could be, the lightweight bits havent arrived - ohh, and he doesnt have a turbo cause I\'ve nicked it! :rollin
