I know its not turbo but this is one of my projects, but im planning on building a 998 turbo engine soon. Hopefully get this running soon, and then try and build a turbo engine with just as much power and torque!

Heres two pictures of when i first brought it and how it stands now. :)

Thanks for the kind comments, hopefully get out on the strip with you lot next year.

Its an all steel shell though so still heavyish, probably get murdered on the 1/4 mile.

Had the steering column back from machining, brought a weld in removable boss but i think im going to peg it instead of welding it.

Also go a problem with my hi los, im on competition cones and there on the lowest they can go without dropping out but its still mega high and be sitting like that for a good few weeks now. Is it just the cones bedding in it hasnt been on the road yet? i was hoping it would settle down

I found that with parts from them there is a long lead time, i ordered this bonnet and door cards and the finish is brilliant and id wait the time again. However you dont have any trouble getting in contact with them and they let you know how your parts are coming along. Im really impressed with them and since have ordered some custom bits made up. Foot well plates and a drivers footrest.

The bonnet is 100% carbon and when you tap it it sounds like your tapping the original steel bonnet. Great quality.

Them and KAD are the best companies ive dealt with so far.
