You have provided a commendable build.
Congratulations and thankyou for making what many would only dream about, a reality.
Look forward to seeing the car when Im in Queensland later this year.

Your attention to detail is impressive! So 250kW at the wheels isnt enough yet, you want to upgrade the supercharger? What is the traction like?

Traction is great but then again i dont drop the clutch usually a rolling start, im in fear of dropping the gear box as many said i will but with the SC is a progressive build of power and less shock to the drive gear. When im pushing her second is on the onset of just grabbing.
Yes 250 IS more than enough but with the way the SC behaves it will still be drivable. Will definitely loose traction and i might have to look at adding traction control to the ECU .
But the gains are reported that it will give an increase of 3 psi idle and all the way to red line.
For now ill enjoy her the way she is, plenty fun

This guy Jaydee was the inspiration for going to a Rotrex AND a guy from spyderchat Curt.
This is Jaydee's current times
Acceleration 60 – 100kph < 1.3Sec now revised to 1.1Sec
100 – 120kph < 1.0Sec now revised to 80 - 120kph = 1.1Sec
On Track Performance (with a passenger, road legal tyres and with wings)
Cornering 1.5G to 1.6G (as datalogged from Winton)
Acceleration 100 – 160kph < 2.3Sec just a 4th gear std gear ratios rollon
Acceleration 100 – 160kph approx 2Sec using 2nd and 3rd Gearx Close Ratio's
The Jaydee Atom 600 accelerates at about 40kph/sec.
Different car weighs half of ours but his Rotrex setup is mad !

Wow - congrats! Epic build by any standard. It's such a 'sleeper'. ;)

Thanks guys much appreciated.
Can i also offer one bit of advise. If you are going to paint your car especially the doors and if your as anal as me may i suggest that before you hang your doors , lay the door on a table then put the black strip mold on.
Technically speaking the warmer the mold is the better for the adhesive. But the warmer the mold is the softer it is and can easily bend.
Put it on while the door is on a table is easy.
Do not heat the mold with a heat gun BTW , use a hair dryer or even better what i did and leave it in the sun

In actual fact no, i like the flat black contrast.
Did it on my Series 1,2,3 RX7's in the 80's and just didnt look the way i wanted it.
Plus the door moulding doesnt have any metal in it like the other peices and it would be a bit harder to do them without putting them on the doors and then sprayed
