Default Calling Ozvenom

Hello our Antipodean Comrades.

I'm trying to get in contact with one of your fellow countrymen, a man of true pedigree who goes by the name of Ozvenom.

I have long admired his skill in mating a Lexus engine to a manual box and giving both a bit of a bite with a turbo or two bolted on for good measure, so much so that I am now thinking I may want to emulate his success back here in good old blighty.

Having been daft enough to put the overly complex BMW V8 lump and Tiptronic box into a Cobra, which performs better than I had hoped, I now feel the need for a new challenge and a twin turbo Lexus engine fits the bill nicely. Although I wont be the first, Ozvenom holds that distinction, with a Lexus engined Cobra I still feel that the novelty value alone in doing this installation in a UK Cobra will make it worthwhile.

Therefore I'm wishing to pick the brains of the "lexus meister" in a bid to make the installation go a bit more smoothly than the BMW one, which was just like my first wife.......a complete *****, bloody expensive, and a total pain in the bum.

I have sent the gentleman an email via the club but have had no response.......is he still around and if so could someone persuade him to get in touch with me as time is short as I have already placed the order for my next kit.

Cheers,

Tony
