thanks and will do..

[TravisSW]

Wish I had the tools and know-how to do all that. =x

Makes me want to tear apart my Zenki and make everything perfect, but that requires one thing I don't have. Another car haha.

Horay for project car dds!


/just read all 33 pages. wow lol

[opponheimer]

Hey, nice build thread!!

[IIIXziuR]

Looking Ace man!

[ZX88]

[ROUGE180]

Wow.. fantastic build. That's a lot of work and dedication you put into that car. Cheers from across the pond.

[CrimsonRockett]

Wow.

A real build thread for once.

It's coming along so nicely.

:D

[Bigtone]

cheers everyone
its been 2yrs in the making and a lot off bad language :eek3:

my first drag outing was a bit scary..broke traction halfway up the strip..
with alomst 700hp under my right foot a cold damp strip is a no no...
going to try again in May...(weather pending..)

[ms!3]

not really my style but damn your build is awesome. love all the fab work.

[Bigtone]

well we made it to the strip again and we had some good weather this time...
we managed to crack the block though..
but we did this..

Beautiful car and amazing thread! :bowdown:

[DOOK]

all business... nice

[sephiroth99]

wow that's an insane build!

I'm lovin' the roof, I have a sunroof roof too and I dream of doing something like that. Must have cost an arm and a leg for that custom carbon fiber job!

[Bigtone]

wow that's an insane build!

all depends how well you get on with your carbon fiber man....
cost me about £400 (uk pounds) that was to make the mould and then
the roof....

[steve_o1989]

I found that thread long ago, and I must say, you have done an amazing job. I love the builds on SXOC. So good.

[Om1kron]

I like it.
but.... hate the tail lights =(

[s13 @ fullboost]

Great success Very nice I like =]

[Antihero983]

oi man that shit is epic!

[zaquanh]

damn thats clean , im ben lookin at it for a while , shit im still on the first page ,

[KansaiDrifter]

it's awesome to see these kinds of builds! great job man!

and a ca! mad props

[driftstyre]

The engine is looking awesome in that thing. Pretty insane for a 1.8. I put a hole in my block a couple of weeks ago as well. I guess we have all winter to fix them. I've been to Rally GB 3 times and it definitely gets cold in Wales. Great build and hope to see it making even more power next year!

[SlideWell]

wow, nice, i wanna see more! yay for UK!

[Slammed180]

What intake plenum is that for the CA? is it custom?

[Bigtone]

cheers everyone..

over the winter we should see more power (and a lighter driver :doh:)
yes its a custom intake plenum..

Back from the dead!

[Bushido]

Is that a RB with 2 cylinders cut off?

728.7 Britain horesespower, wow that's 738.8american hosrespowrings:bigok:

[ANDY black s13]

Behold the legend that is Big tone and his mighty CA :)
So cool to see it still lives and is back with more power
hats of to you sir for squeezing over 700 out of the little 1.8 four banger
mobne had 705 but that engine died and the replacement 'only' made 575/600
but yours has smashed it and must be a europe?/uk at least record
years ago I read about a chap in japan found the limit of the stock crank was 845
but never found the info since to repost it,and hardrive/laptop died etc

[800BHP]

Can't wait to see it back at the track ;)

[dsastr_clan]

more pics :)

[Bigtone]

with the engine back in, it was time to put her on the rolling road,


grip was a problem and we only managed to put down 550 bhp..
