Can be done considerably cheaper as DIY becasue the kits are readily availble from the US.

Hes paying for the full package and gets the trhee year warranty thrown in for good measure.

Very versatile these GenIV's

Done a nice job there. The display you present for us is inspiring and very professional. You really inspired me with that. No doubt very versatile these GenIV's.

So

Twin scroll supercharger with twin water intercoolers.

Intercoolers are conneted to a water-air radiator mounted in the lower section of the front grill.

Amazingly, original engine internals used and no change to pistons etc to reduce the compression ratio!

It was leaning out at 580bhp so they dropped it just a little.

Next year it gets cam and bigger fuel pump apparantly.

Santa arrived early this year, via Northumberland.

Acquired a full exhaust system with cats and headers.

Chrisgixer runs round the room shouting "he's been, he's been" ;D

You'll now understand why I declined to transport it back with the prop shaft, given that I was 3 up with luggage. ;)

Yes I'd seen the pictures. With cats it's huge. While a glider trailer would be ideal, it would need to be empty to get the exhaust in in one piece.

No worries Kev. ;)

Yes, if we'd crashed the glider the plan would have worked perfectly. ::)
