Rob_Mitchell Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Holy moly Rob. That will be a monster setup. Subscribed for updates ...... hurry up Yeah wasn't my initial plan to go T6 big turbo but the kit popped up and for what I paid i would be silly to turn it down and not go for it. Sooooo, now we have to up our game further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parm_93 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Cam covers look awesome! I can't wait to see everything back together, chop chop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 That's crazy in detail, looks awesome mate im guessing it's going to be hard to maintain ? As in dirt getting in the artwork or cleaning products etc Looking forward to it coming together mate ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Won't be no harder than any other finish mate to be honest. Majority is chromed so just a nice wipe down. Very happy with how things are looking. Be more updates when i pick engine up from Srd. That's when the real fun starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Decided i would treat myself to some aftermarket timing pulleys. I couldnt have them how they was so i gold plated some dome nuts and washers and also gold plated the big bolts which hold them on. Also a cheeky few pics of my VWR T6 manifold after being black heat coated. Looks really fresh, really happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Every time I see updates on this i already see the amount of awards this car will bring home! The 2 GTR's we seen at the Tokyo auto salon were all hand engraved aswell, it's as if you knew what the new "trend" was going to be in the car scene lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berg Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Gets better and better, if this thing ever loses an award in the engine bay category at any show its a fix lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRX Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Going to look amazing! i wouldn't ever want to drive it in case it gets dirty, imagine the engraving is a bugger to clean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Yeah seen them cars and I can appreciate the work involved but on the outside on panels isn't my cup of tea. Shows are very strange things at times. I took loads of awards with the gold rush but was then told i wasn't allowed to enter no more as it's unfair lol my comment back was that the others should up the game haha that went down like a pint of sick and I wasn't allowed to enter no more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right if that is the benchmark then people need to up their game! crazy, you need to name and shame those events Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know who is following my build. Each year I up my game and invest money into doing so, what gets me annoyed is half the cars in these shows just use it as a parking facility lol.

original_amo Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Yeah seen them cars and I can appreciate the work involved but on the outside on panels isn't my cup of tea. Shows are very strange things at times. I took loads of awards with the gold rush but was then told i wasn't allowed to enter no more as it's unfair lol my comment back was that the others should up the game haha that went down like a pint of sick and I wasn't allowed to enter no more Totally understand where your coming from on this one! I've entered some big show n shine events and found that some were completely fixed, These were hosted by some Big companies, Won't say any names. However I confronted the organizers and they shrugged their shoulders and said oh well its done now! Spend more time interacting with the team and judges and you never know you may win. At the time when I did the shows I upped my game every year but lost heart in it when you knew the shows were fixed. There still are a hand full of shows that are honest and do proper judging with score cards and not just favor their mates cars etc.... I proved my point that I could be best in shows time after time and left with my head held high feeling proud of my car. Rob your build is amazing and no Doubt you should wipe the floor clean with trophies, However do the build for your self and not for shows mate as when you start competing in the big shows that are mostly rigged it's disheartening knowing you worked so hard with so much effort and endless praises from no end of public, But a car that's no way near to your standard gets no attention, pulls no crowd walks away with the win.

Sukhy Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 That's exactly my outlook on it. Show and shine competitions don't appeal to me one bit. I buy/build cars for myself and have always said that and the attention it gets from the public is an added bonus but I don't thrive on it. Keep up the good work and if you keep true to yourself when building it, you will not go far wrong at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
