The German tuners usually use the KKK turbo's.

 

Another delay. S Car Go has not sent the parts to Performance Developments yet. I called Rob today and he says they will be shipped out tomorrow.

 

Sounds frustrating but hang in there! With all the shipping you must have going on I'd just get your own UPS account and that way you can easily schedule shipping etc... From your pc?

 

Alex,

I really forgot about this car a long time ago. None of the dates have been met. On the bright side, it is getting real close now. Since most of the parts are now at Performance Developments I am seriously considering letting Neil assemble the motor. I would then let S Car Go put it into the car.

This will simply be a matter of who has available time now and who does not. We will cross this bridge when we have the pistons and rods in our possession.

I believe I'll use the time to visit Monaco Monte Carlo.

 

Amazing where of this started and where it is now. I just looked back at the first post and noticed the 614WHP number. That was GREAT then but now you have more then doubled it. I look forward to seeing the completion. Great job of sticking with it.

 

I hear you Heck we're doing motor build #2 on our RS already and shipping caused a 2 week delay for a correct liner etc... so I know where you're coming from to a degree... Monte Carlo is great this time of year so that should soothe some nerves!

You're very patient so that's commendable. Not sure who else could/would see a project through like this....

 

It shouldn't be too much longer. I'm only five plus years late ..... want to set up a shootout?

 

LOL on booth counts! I tell you, setting up a shoot out is such a PIA. Most of the companies end up acting like a bunch of babies and don't come through

 

I expect to be done with my project this fall, hopefully before it starts raining. Neil says he can have the motor fully assembled for me four days after he has the rods and pistons. Maybe we can arrange get a couple fast cars from the West Coast together for some simple runs or track time comparisons. Have any suggestions for a lineup?

PS I thought you were on vacation.

 

Chad, I know in the past you have been cautious not to disclose too much about your collection, but what have you been having fun with in the time that KA has been down? Did you ever pick up a CGT or Veyron? Not trying to pry, just curious because this has to have been very frustrating at times. I know you almost shelved the project on several occasions, and I'm sure I speak for all enthusiasts when I commend you on seeing it through.

Best...

 

Yes that sounds like fun! Sac has the best 1/4mile track in our area although we could go down South... maybe the AZ boys would join in that way?

I was/am but you know how that goes

 

Chad, what is the latest on this beast?

 

Alex,

I really would like to keep it simple. The only way to do that would be for a track, strip to be rented for a day or two, probably could not have it open to the public (insurance and liability purposes}, and the different tuners/builders bring the best sample of their wares. That way only the best of what they believe they have will be offered.

I also believe it needs to be limited to a eight or less cars. I would hope those wanting to participate could do it in the spirit of fun, realizing that any car can have an off day or could excel in any given day.

It would be a bonus if we could get a magazine to cover it.

From my own perspective, I'd really like to see 1badgt2's, joetwint's, Markski's. robmd99's, VR Alexander and maybe art4iza's car participate. But I'm open to anything.

 

Alex,

I have PM'ed a few people. Joetwint, rbmd99 and Art4iza said they would come. Heck, with you and me that would make five. I have sent PM's to 1badgt2 and markski but have not heard from them yet. Any suggestions for the next slot?

 

ALL very good suggestions,and maybe add a Switzer car to that.
