Bigger wheels are on the way. I have a set of Black 20s with chrome lips coming. Those are the stock wheels. I am also puttin the truck on air suspension by the end of the year :D I can never leave anything alone.
 
thereare some real good air suspension kits on the market now. they used to be very slow rising and dropping the car but nowadays if u get a big enuf tank, it can drop as fast as a juiced kit!!

the black wheels with chrome lips will look good, all black would be too much black on the truck imo. u ever been to the SEMA show??

Well i have to say my car has nothing on any of these! A Basic Ford Fiesta Mk3. Shes as slow as anything. the little 1.3 litre can only just get me to 105mph and that took over 2 miles to get there. 0-60 in an amazing 15.4 seconds!!!! but then this is what you get when you live in the uk. very small engines in very small cars! lol

I'm modifying the engine shown below, got almost 23000$ spent on that engine... Waiting for new crank, and a set of custom pistons before it can be mounted in my car..

Going for a ultra responsive, non turbo "rally" style engine, with around 250 bhp @ above 10 000 rpm

waht flow rate injectors you running?
the f28 is a good box. a mate of mine is running one on his 250bhp corsa (opel nova??)
c20 xe in that, race cams, throttle bodies, internal work, plus nos. hoping to get a 100shot without frying the lump, as they killed the old one.
 
430ccm to make sure I get enough fuel....

20XE is almost cheating, double the amount of valves.... :p


The cnchead mod on my engine increased the airflow on the inlet by 24% and 22% on the exhaust...

Also, propper FWD bhp isnt that easy on a C20NE :p

On the 108 mph run, you might have noticed the engine temp was a bit high ??

Here is the reason:

Waterpump:

 
Hm.. the damned waterpump, only 6 months old was standing perfectly still, on a mildly tuned engine... :p

I think I'll might go electric this time around...

A few weeks from that movie, the engine started to boil after a few minutes of driving.. I had a local shop try to determine if it was the waterpump or the head gasket.. They, insisted on it being either the head or the gasket... But it was the damned waterpump...
