Peter, thanks for the links.

Very interesting. A massive amount of work went into your reports.

She is a gorgeous car rice. I took some photos of it at superlap. Was looking for you to introduce myself but everytime I walked past you weren't near the car.

VERY NICE BUILD! Pics are impressive and your car is clean

I think we have a second TitaniumTT on our hands .......

Thanks everyone

I enjoy using my digital SLR as much as doing all of my own work. Being able to make stuff I can thank my father for, he is the real craftsman in the family

Yes mate, full damascus (blade, lock back, blosters, and even spring too). Dad makes some unbelievable stuff, that one there is full take down version he designed, full precision bush bearings in all pivots, all custom hand made.

His E-Mail is sambarknives@ozemail.com.au, I listed all of his current knives in stock http://www.sambarcustomknives.com/index.htm if you are interested you can send him an E-Mail of me peter@riceracing.com.au and either of us can help you out

Been a while since I posted on my baby

Finally had some time to do some more detail work and fix up things that I wanted too since the first time putting all of this together a year ago. Made some modifications to the Turbocharger specification, water cooling lines, exhaust system, oil breather set up, EGT sensors, & detailed insulation for various oil/water/fuel and other parts.

Small specification increase in total power to ~500bhp (v's the ~430 to 440bhp I have run for over a year). Will take some pictures and maybe even post up a test report or two soon.

COOL! Can't wait to see some updated stuff!

Want to show the true performance figures too

won't be long

when I do I'll list it up against some other fancy super/sports cars that have been tested with VBOX equipment and put it up as a comparison

benlewisMAV · 10-11-2010, 05:13 AM

Nice knives!

oh and the FD is pretty sweet too...

RICE RACING · 11-01-2010, 04:28 AM

Just finished a major (for me) upgrade of my baby

Changed the turbocharger specifications, water cooling circuits, Turbine outlet exit, line insulation & placement (oil water and re routing to the letter of "ideal installation" which made a notable/distinct difference for the better), New EGT probes too, and new braking system! Did a service today as well, will take some pics and post them soon.

The thing is just TITS , my dream car.

RICE RACING · 11-02-2010, 01:13 AM

Drove her today

its sweeter than a fat chic molesting a bucket of KFC!

louder with new turbo (at cruise), runs better, cooler, fixed the hot start "clicking" *boiling near thermostat* due to wrong water line mountings in first install

New EGT probes are sweet too. Cleaned some items and reworked a few bits I was not happy with and it came up pretty good
