VAC Motorsports.  The tripple disc part and TB are Tilton pieces.

That thing looks meaty! Bet it'll grab like a mother fucker!

[Earl]

Robert you are THE man!

[REKIII]

I don't know about 'The' Man.  I thought my clutch was pretty cool until I saw your Film Car.

[Earl]

I think they're equally cool but for different reasons

[KaiserRolls]

rekiii, do you still have your crazy awesome motorcycle?

[REKIII]

Yes.  It is sort of apart.  Still has issues i can't figure out, and no time to work on it.

[B C]

The difference in clutch weight is unreal O__O

It was a nice enough difference going from 19lb to 13 or so lb on my flywheel but you have moved the mass inboard as well. 

I want to rev your motor.

sounds slightly homo-erotic

[REKIII]

Too many issues.  Sadly, they probably will never be resolved.  But the good news is that I've now defined a place to burn on my yard.  I have a large pile of trees and shrubs I took down. Rolling the bike into that pile and lighting her up won't be too tough.

electrical stuff? fuel delivery? you've got tons of sweet shit on that thing.

[REKIII]

Electrical.  The sweet shit burns better.

What is this bike?  I am an industrial electrical tech, tell me what its doing and give me an electrical diagram.

[REKIII]

Not sure it would help.  I'm more content burning.  The problem wont be fixed via wiring diagram.

[REKIII]

Turbos confirmed!

Wiring started!

Suspension almost right.

Progress, since the snow just started flying, this means there is promise for a functional car by spring.

[Earl]

Hell yeah=)

[Brian.]

You, Earl and I will never own a functioning car. I just bought the massive turbo for my car, thinking of trading it for something bigger yet. Earl still needs paint, ugh

[YoungCR]

Woohh! I hope this thing can kick some F10 M5 ass when it's done. That would be awesome. Any idea on horsepower goals? If previously stated I need a refresher.

[REKIII]

My initial goal is 600whp.  I feel this is attainable becasue SC guys have made this with a stock engine, and I don't have an SC to turn.

Once the stock engine is maxed out (or blown up), I will be building a forged engine.  This will have a goal on 1000whp, but that may be a fantasy that never comes to light for various reasons.

Robert is THE man!
