Nice to hear that you've got your next engine running Phil. Any performance modifications on this one?

My car's nearly there now, just a bit of fettling and the paint to go on and it'll be finished. Weather and work have held up progress over the Christmas period, but I'll crack on with renewed enthusiasm in January.

Loved the Ferrari 500trc clip, great sound track!

Also like the fact it's got a bigger scoop than mine, and was intrigued by all the locking pins and vents along the back edge of the bonnet. I guess Ferrari had the same problem of the bonnet lifting at speed as Sammios tend to have. I might just add a couple of vents to the back of mine...

Anyway, Happy New Year Phil, and I'll see you soon. :)

29 Jan 2013, 8:14pm
I'm fine Phil. Yes, we could do with a bit of warmer weather - even though I've got a perfectly useable double garage I still prefer to work on my car outside where the light's so much better. How's the race car coming along? Got it to the moon rover stage yet? I'll have to drop round and take a look.

We come in peace... And love.... Etc...

Man those pipes sound good

Hi chaps

I am towards the end of restoring a mk2 gt6 and deciding on which exhaust to fit. After seeing a few youtube clips and hearing the music coming from the back of your cars I was wandering where you sourced you exhausts from ?

Cheers Chris

Phil's bespoke exhausts do sound awesome, just bear in mind that they are [SIZE="4"]LOUD[/SIZE] enough to wake the dead.

Phil is fortunate enough to live in a lovely drum at the end of a mile of private driveway. If you fit e-type tail pipes to your GT6 you'd better have understanding neighbours when you fire it up at five am to go to Goodwood...

Cheers guys

Ah yes loud pipes, I also have a tr4 with a stainless full sport system from Phoenix. When I start that for a Sunday morning blast it rattles the window frames, I am not lucky enough to live down a private lane but have neighbours on either side in their 80's and I'm sure their hearing ain't what it used to be !!!
Had a look on ebay and found the exhaust (thanks), The blue car looks to have up turned ends, did you cut the 4inches of the end or cut it at the silencer end and re TIG it

Cheers Chris
