great pics in Redline this month Rocko , brilliant write up mate . car looks mint

Cheers mate thanks for the kind comments ..

More updates very soon =-)

It has been just over a week since Rocko picked up the WR1 666 beast after the legend Dave Rowe tinkled with her brains for the 1000 mile run in period before we go off to DSA for her final map and power runs in about 5 weeks time, D day has come around so fast.
While we were in the process of the transplant, it was decided to remove the aircon system and also to replace the horrible power steering pipes with some nice new Goodridge pipes fresh from RCM. Removing the aircon system which included the aircon rad will allow more air to the radiator for better cooling and save a few KG so Rocko can not worry too much about his mince pies.
A few pics of the swap and one of his spys.























So there we have it. All decided in February and completed in September but officialy finished when we go to DSA with EPS and push it close to 700bhp in October. A very interesting 7 months including a Redline feature so, so far so good Roll on October and then we can see how we have done.

Awesome work, well done

Done 500 Miles since i collected her .. I replaced oil on sat with new filter ... The oil was well black from some Graphogen Graphite Paste which Nik use's on some parts when building the engine ..


Now off to do Another 500 then ill change oil and filter again then it will have some 15/50 Cooking oil in Mc Cains seems to smell the best

Of to see Dave rowe After the 21st so he can up the boost so ime not so bored goin to the Nurburring and spa .. Then when ime back .. Drain oil Again ready for the DSA Day lol Nick's Face ... 2.5 bar/ 3.0 bar and flames in the dyno Cell .. better than crack

LOL

3 bar of boost sounds like you will need a neck brace between gears. Looking forward to seeing this at the Ring.... I've already packed my uber pampers pee pants

Words are required and good... just loads of pictures for the more slightly challenged of us when it comes to engines.

The WR1oc has had a few tech people over the years... but mostly muppets that have never had their hands dirty and who would probably put on a pair of protective gloves to mow the lawn.
