...again.
No, not by those septics off the telly, but by Abbey Motorsport.
Following my little incident on the Nordschleife in April - *feeble cough*, Abbey Motorsport have pulled out all the stops, as usual, and got me back on the road.
Basically, the 500+ bhp engine and other assorted gucci items from my car have been re-shelled. I took the opportunity (and the insurance money, lol) to have an R34 GT-R six speed - keeping 33 diffs, clutch/flywheel, rear APs to match the fronts, Tein Flex with EDFC, cage, TSC (cheers Andy) etc, etc, etc........far too much to list.
First run out was a few months ago for the GTROC at the ASDA charity event at Bruntingthorpe in August, the Nordschleife (!!!) and Spa on the 27th /28th of August, the National Skyline day at Donington in September and finally Oulton Park in November. Then it was back into Abbey to touch up the paintwork and final fettling - seemed a waste to paint it before five track days. I didn't want to post until it was finished and I could take a posh pic or two.
I want to say "Big Thanks" to Tony, Mark & Scott at Abbey for everything that they did that weekend in Germany/Belgium - including fixing all the other cars that broke. To Sarah for sorting the reg docs etc. Many thanks to all the blokes that worked on the car at Abbey, especially Will and Simon, and another mention for Mark for dealing with the insurance direct.
I picked it up yesterday and gave it a bit of a wash this morning.
I have to keep this one on the blacktop 'cos Mark says that he won't build me another one. lol
