As you say, each to their own. |
One of the Qld club members has an R8 with an aftermarket exhaust. It sounds UNREAL!

All I need is new R6/8 cams, lighter valves as per the R6/8 and I'm hoping I can get away with an E-prom chip and piggy back it into the ECU to change the tune and optimise the power output on the dyno... |

The great thing about a kit car, you do whatever the hell you like to it, it is a kit car after all, nothing is set in stone. We even have an 8 litre V10 in one up here. Go for it! |
When you say "unrefined 6 litre Windsor", perhaps you should add "one of the most powerful naturally aspirated Cobras in the club" for a bit of disclosure... ;)

Sounds like a lot of fun!
Also sounds like a lot of head aches to try to make work, but you sir sound infinitely more equipped than most (certainly I) to execute this. I say bloody go for it! & best of luck to you! Just keep us posted. Ps. Tell you son to find his own bloody Audi. :p This ones booked! |

I have done the designs already on this but yes, my 14yr old son who is already building his own MK2 Escort with 2L Turbo motor and 5 speed sierra gearbox & 16 inch Minilite wheels etc etc .. says the Audi is his LOL (I've created a monster) I need to confirm under the new laws that he can drive it based on the power to weight aspect of the vehicle, which I think has to be less then 130kw/1000kg to be suitable for him to drive this car on his P's - once he is old enough that is.. |

I've driven a V8 R8 a few times back in 2008-2009. I would gladly have one :)

Well the jury's out and it looks like the Audi drive line into Cobra project is a go.
It seems that the new "High Powered Vehicle" laws are as usual totally obscured from reality and should you own a 2010 or later model V8 and your kids are eligible to obtain their P1 license prior to the 4th of Sept 2010 they can drive it as long as the power/weight ratio doesn't exceed 130kw per 1ton vehicle weight, however this does not apply to vehicles made prior to 2010. So if you bought an Audi A6 Quattro V8 (for instance) built on the 31st of December 2009, it would not be considered as exempt from the HPV act, but if it was built on the 1st of January 2010 than would be considered exempt if it meets the power to weight ratio requirements. Who makes these rules... Anyway I guess it's good for me as the project is a go, not so good for my son Josh... We will however keep building his turbo MK2 Escort and he can drive that on his L's while he's learning to drive. What a crazy world..LOL |

I was just pissing around as the crowd wanted some wheel spin so I gave it to them through first and second gears.. Still did a 13sec pass :)
Will have to see if I can improve that a little at next years K.I. Drags, with the twin turbo engine.. |

ICC-001 some of the early photos during the progression of the chassis build up, sorry about the poor quality of a couple of photos..
The 351W and 8-stack Injection Perfection system Integral handbrake set up on the Skyline cradles - perfect. Gearvendors mated to a C4 = no tailshaft:) BRM 17's test fit, love the low rider look! |

I initially had these Halibrand's painted up for ICC-001 but decided to go with the BRM's - now I'm not so sure...
Paint scheme is going to be a solid Alfa deep red base with polar white GT stripes - Sort of like the Pace one there up the top..The rims are charcoal grey 17x11 Rear and 16x9 Front Decisions, decisions.. |
Wil, what are the notes for on the rear guard in the last two pics? You planning on flaring that section?
Either way you go with the wheels, you better had hurry up. All that good rubber is turning harder by the week :D |
