    Just a bit of bling for the engine, I'm always buying bits off F1 cars then I think 'what can I do with that' , so this is the brake light mount off a Minardi F1 car.

    Time to update this thread a bit, not a lot happening really, it's just the daily work horse, all I've done really is put some tatty pegs on it, and this weekend it will have a repaired TC splitter fitted. so have some pictures.

    Polished ready for VT200 meet.




    and the splitter, this is how I got it, in two pieces.



    a bit of fiberglass soon sorted it out and some old paint I had lying around.



    next some black satin base cote.



    then a dusting of metallic blue through an anti slip mat followed by copious amounts of clear lacquer.

    Thought I'd paint the grill surround the same as the splitter.




    And a couple of engine pics:

    Quick blast down the track today, looks like boost is all back to normal, this was in no way a 60 to 100 test as I was shifting well before the red line.

    very nice, it will be interesting to see what the rolling road says that translates too, guessing that is 21-23psi by the angle of the gauge

    I'll either drop it back down to about 18psi for the dyno, or if i get a chance I'll fit the co2 spray bar onto the intercooler, and keep the boost at 23psi. and up the fuel pressure just a tad.

    do you reckon it's leaning out at 23psi ?? any knock retardation ??

    I was just wondering as mine is running similar pressures and running nice with exception of the boost leak problem but as soon as 4250-5250 rpm clears it's going like a trooper, might get time to drop the intercooler in before the meet, it would be interesting to compare them again.
