Now my inital plan was to build this as an N/A with 51mm Peripherals with fuel injected ITBS. So i set to work on the exhaust manifold and centre section:

Whilst building all of this i got offered a GT45 turbo at a decent price. WHO could turn that down. So it took a harsh turn in the turbo direction!!!!!

Fortuanatly the centre section is still useable so i set about building the rear section of the exhaust. Dual 2.5" centre exits (yes fuel cell will be in the boot).

Today i started the Turbo manifold. Not much just a quick pic off the phone. Kind of makes sense if you look at it.

Shes also now running a Mircotech LT12-S.

Now with the acquirement of a spray booth the body needed updating as it was wasn't what i wanted :











I liked the white but it was abit tooooo white so i set about blaking some trim pieces and a nice painted detail down the middle.... old skool racer inspired:
