Beware! This is exactly how the Large Hadron Collider started!

looks awesome but that much power and undiluted awsomeness could probably bring an end to life on the surface of the planet.


If you put your foot down, be very carefull. The torque could and will stop the rotation of the earth.

Then we'd all fall down, or float off.

Or explode.

Nice to see a very high performance 300 :). Do you have uprated front antiroll bars? do they fit the 340 ?

Is that an SS Autochrome / XS Power manifold? If so, I'd have it re-welded / reinforced.

I wonder where that axle came from sm56 I spent my weekend freezing my arse off making that happen, but left before you got there.

Aye, I was there when he spoke to you on the phone earlier in the day. That was a miserable time weather-wise, but the job got done. Ah, that's Nick's yellow 242GT (with a B23ET fitted). First UK Tbrick to run a 13 second 1/4 mile! :)

Proturbo are based in Finland, so it's likely one of theirs. They're good quality. Their 16v ones look a bit like SS Autocrap ones, so that's probably the source of my confusion.

cheers
