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

        I think they're equally cool but for different reasons 😃

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

              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.

                  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.

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

                            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.

                                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

                                  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.

                                    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.
