Why build a car if you are not going to drive it

thanks Adam
Everyone who is building an engine with this kind of check valve should always test the valve it doesn't take long but can save you a lot of time and money ,that self proclaimed 951guru that build my engine should have known better ,its not that he did it for free and now he is playing dead.

The engine is running again and made 335hp, 500Nm of torque @1bar ,I know that is not the impressive yet ,but for breaking in and testing it's plenty of power on a 1060kg car

Fantastic work! What are the suspension details?

Love the weight of the car. Is that with fuel and no driver?

You sorted the engine now. Put the past behind you?

Don't forget to post some video once you get it on the track.

Look forward to seeing this beauty in action Filip.

What spring rates did you go for? I've heard good things about Intrax.
