Longest build time in history? Posts: 1,530 Group: Members Member #2 Joined: November 2, 2005	I saw pics of this car a while back and led it, but didn't realise it has so much work done on the engine. It looks minty fresh and is a really good model to work to! I am suprised that it only made 171.5 though, but i guess that's at the wheels and for a 2.3-16. Does anybody know what front lip that is? Looks rather tasty!

Tim It should be that running on K-Jet - most EFI projects gun for 230+ on a healthy motor.

That was last time I looked up the figures, anyway. I should imagine that with newer technologies in diffs, transmissions etc it's probably a little better.
