Congrats OP... You will love it when it's done. I regret selling mine and have tried to buy it back on multiple occasions to no avail. Looks like I'll just have to build another one.

Isn't it still for sale? I'm confused.

I wish I could have known this car would be on the market for this price last October. I certainly would've held off buying my 04 and bought this car! I've got more in mine already and have AEM as opposed to MoTec, plus, it's still not sorted out yet.

We didn't receive the car until last month, but we will be sure to post pictures when the project is completed. It's getting a slew of carbon, interior, seats, wheels, 570 conversion, etc along with a built engine, MoTeC with all the goodies, and our twin turbo system.

That will be great! And I hope it would run better than your black TTG that was at the Texas Invitational. We have some fast turbos in Kuwait ready for that car and videos will be taken as soon as it arrives

I was in Kuwait last year, and there was nothing nearly as fast as our black car, you might be underestimating how many fast cars from all over the
USA come to the TI event. That's why he sent us the car

MKS

Don't worry we will be there and we will make a whole league for the porsches, GTR's & corvettes. Did your GTR arrive yet?

As Taylor mentioned the car took a while to arrive but really it took 35-40 days but the car was stuck in customs for almost 20 days (dunno why).. As for pics I'll let taylor help me with that when the build is done..

Predator, what car did you run at TI? Or were you a spectator?

You are correct, the car did have some idle issues. This is because I changed to larger injectors shortly before the event and I run the car on E85. I had no time to spend dialing in my car before the event because we were so busy with customer stuff.

For your information, no other TTGs were running on E85 at the event. Running these on E85 is a lot more difficult than gasoline since the stock fueling is spot on with gasoline. But thanks for your nice comments.

When you were in Kuwait Dallas performance didnt even start working on the gallardo. And for underestimating your black gallardo even when you were using nitrous it didnt seem to be near as fast as the underground racing gallardos at the ti event.

MKS Please. You have no idea what you are talking about. We will have nitrous on the black car at some point but it did not at TI and does not. In fact my black car was turned way down to protect the transmission stock 1-6th gears.

How does R&D translate to problems? My car has been the testing platform for parts. We learn by design and testing like anyone. If you don't try many combos how do you really know which is best? We have many new parts that were not ready for TI so don't worry there buddy.

It's not like a GTR where you order all the parts from a catalog.

This thread is not about my car. Please stop trying to start trouble.

The above doesn't mean my car made more power than my customers, it only means I was the idiot that stayed in it through a lot of tire spin. Most of the customers runs were non aggrassive because of tire spin. Something to note here. All Underground cars were on street tires. I tried Hoosiers on a few passes but ended up going back to the R888s and made my fastest pass on the street tires at 189 slipping the tires through the traps. I haven't had that much fun in a long time. Next time we will bring a much better tire.

Good luck with the build. 560's Egear shifting on boost is a lot of fun!
