We have just fired up the engine, and here are the adress for you to listen what it sounded like.

Me in the red jacket checking oil level. I am quite pleased with the 7Y exhaust system that contribute to a good midrange response. One of the collector pipe had to be an inch shorter but I dont think it matters that much.

I for got to mention that the car weight landed at 2134P with all fluids but without the driver. We have to ballast the car with some 165P, but thats god for balansing the car.

The idea is to buy a new injected all aluminium engine, but time and money must recower a little. We should see for this season how well the oilpan an other stuff around the engine works to build the new engine more right from the beginning.
But the biggest part is to sort out the chassis and aero settings. So I am running sensors all around the car to keep records of what happens.

When you get there, please let me know. DRM would love to power that thing. This one is on it's way to Italy right now. About 550 RWHP can be had with this one and only about 5 wires to hook up. We have done some pretty crazy things in the past too which you maybe interested in.

Absolutely! I am interested in what you have in mind. However, as you see on the film the engine is sitting in a tight space with absolutley no room to spare. The crankchaft is 1,5" from the bottom of the car. So it is a huge job to go through. But we better discuss that matter in privat.
