VX220 Harrop Supercharged Build Thread

I know its a good track, but think its astronomical money @ £350, would prefer to do brands full gp for less :), probably looking to do Goodwood in September.

Yeah Goodwood is expensive, but limited numbers of cars on track at once is quite good and last time I checked, Brands full GP was similar price. Indy was cheaper....

Its been a slow winter but a few plans for the car are progressing for the track day season.

 

First really is a stab at sorting out the exhaust, more so noise, so in the progress of sorting that with a redesigned back box and possibly get rid of the cat and replace with a resonator. I have also got an enclosed airbox to get rid of a little of the supercharger whine as it is rumoured they spike the db metres.

 

The bodywork was a little untidy, so stripped out the std na vents to be replaced with turbo ears, a light bit of bodywork and then decided to go for a wrap, hopefully it should be back sometime next week, will be getting the black wheels refurbed in a stupid colour.

 

I am also looking at getting some bigger injectors as i am led to believe mine are right on or over what most like to run with injector duty, then a fresh map to compliment the new exhaust and injectors.

 

Will get some photos up once its back from wrapping, its Ekonas favourite colour too ;)

Completely missed this thread, in for the updates. Looks like it's already a rocket and you're just finishing it off?

 

Could do with some more pics though :teeth:

Just kind of got it and used it, lol, wanted to make the most of the rest of the summer and autumn, will get some photos up after the wrap :)

Look forward to that JP.

 

My guess is some sort of blue colour, ...am I close? :D

So after taking 4 weeks more than said and nearly unleashing a near death experience to the guy wrapping, i finally have it back.

 

A bit of a dull day here so its not the best light but its a 3m satin grey metallic with a twist :)

I've been quietly waiting for these pics for a while! I spent the evening down the unit mid March and saw the VX there part completed. He does a good job, but certaintly makes you wait for it.

Car looks ace mate, I love the metallic grey!

Thanks guys, needs the wheels doing to freshen it up.

 

I will get some photos when the suns out as the grey pops a bit more with the metallic.

 

Least now i can get onto some important bits ready for the season, going to have to butter up Unky K though ;)
