It was indeed outside Stainless Creations, but it was just there for the day to get the exhaust made up and fitted. It'll be going back once the engine is running to have the intercooler pipework done too

This isn't the playstation version. It was a spare full BTCC shell that was used as a mock up to sit outside the VIP tent.

RSM did quite a bit of work to it over the winter and it now has most of the fuel system, some electrics and a T-series engine 70% fitted. With a bit more work it should be running by the time I get back onshore again - or be very close to it. Certain aspects like the brakes are going to be a bit of a nightmare but it's getting there

Thanks, hopefully it will get on track this year and once run in and set-up properly I'll be going to all the track days I can with it

Yeah that's the one. Thanks for that info, I didn't know the exact details of what had happened with it

If you need an engine for this project I have a very nice 2.0L supercharged engine that was being developed for use in a production ZS.

Is that the Janspeed built one with Eaton blower mounted on the side and Omega forged pistons?? Approx 250 bhp IIRC?
