madmanluke's supercharged mk2 VR

[madmanluke]

sounds good tech. we do it quite a bit now - my brother has a vectra at pretty much touring spec right now (a lot of genuine 90's parts from the real things) and we use that round the track. So much fun! Its not an actually track but more time trials around coned sprint circuits up on north weald air field. Its a great crack as you get loads of go's as its not overly busy!

Just want it on the road though, let alone the track

love it mate did it need much work ??

[madmanluke]

Still working on it mate hah, I got pulled away by clients so haven't got back to finish it yet. Looks like I just need to remove all the rad fan wiring and do some relocating of stuff then just wrap it enough to get it back in the suitcase with out it getting tangled. Then completely wrap it when I get home for saturday.

You better hope none of the wires start showing through the bag they may think you're a terrorist!!

Good luck with getting through customs on the way back!
