Jake,

My engine arrived today and it and the CF shroud (and the CF sealing tins) look fantastic. Can't wait to get my car preparations finished so that I can get it installed.

Many thanks and Merry Christmas,

Simon

Simon,
Glad the engine arrived safely!

The Carbon fiber really makes the DTM look wonderful!

Jake,

What color do you guys call that? "Cherry cream supurb" or what?

Nope,
Just red Carbon Fiber!

Shambly,

Wow, that looks great. I've talked with Jake one time and your engine is what I have in mind. Can you tell us some of the details about your set-up. Did you get Jake's new tranny as well? What type of changes to the chasis are you making? And what type of HP do expect to get from that beauty? Give us the scoop. We are all jealous!

Lance,

Jake can give you the details on the engine. I'll be running it with my existing hyfire 6 CDi and a BAS exhaust system.

I'm using my existing IRS transmission which was built with more power than my initial 1641cc Type 1 in mind. Its a 3.44 f/d with 0.93 4th gear, giving smaller 3rd-4th gap at the cost of off-the-line speed. The Type I found it hard work but i'm sure Jake's 2270C will love it

I have spax adjustable shocks, CSP wide-5 discs up front (with dual circuit booster) and am adding wide-5 discs at the rear, together with a HD transmission mount, HD rubber mounts, kafer brace, and temporary front strap until I get a GB intermediate mount welded on.

Adding dual CHT, dual EGT, oil P/T, and o2 gauges.

Making other changes to the car over the winter too - kinda phase 2 of its build. Hope to be back on the road by the spring. More details at http://www.hambly.org.uk/chesil
