scannon Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Fantastic car! Do you have a video with sound? I'd like to hear what it sounds like when that waste gate dumps to atmosphere. Any problem with blistering the paint around the exit port in the bonnet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsimon Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Welcome! It's always good to see another VX. There's getting to be quite a number of us. :cheers: Was that a turbo C20LET or did you start with an XE? Steel crank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 What an impressive looking build! Like Skip (Scannon) above, I would be curious to hear how you managed heat without melting the body work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy turbo Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Yeah started as an XE,stock crank as they can take the abuse bonnet is insulated underneeth and also the downpipe is wrapped,so for now is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitcat Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 It's good you never "coned"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy turbo Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 coned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 In auto-X'ing around here, the courses are set up using small orange cones. Typically no damage is done if the car hits a cone (or "cones"). Your course was set up with stacks of tires. Had you "coned", your car mite have been smashed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Mike, I don't think Westy is from Kansas, so may not befamiliar with Autox. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Hot damn that's a fine car! Does the wastegate gases cause the bonnet to yellow? I had to put a turndown on my Busa muffler to keep the side of the car from yellowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy turbo Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 no yellow yet,just the black color of the gas,i quess a longer track day as far as time might turn it yellow but the noise of the external,pay's back the body shop cost,i just cant have enough of it tbh.
