@@tomnicholson6999 thanks! I bought the sound proofing it from Uaz Liefhebbers Nederland in The Netherlands. Was about €70 I think.

@@traceypotts9425 It certainly sounds faster than it is 😄 It's always been a little underwhelming for the amount of power the engine should be producing. I think that's mainly down to poor gearing and the auto box. Plans are underway to rectify both issues. I will make this van "fast"

😆

We met some brilliant people along the way and so willing to help a couple of odd balls in an old van 😀Breakfast is more important than winning 😆

@@franciscoflores-nunez6767 Nice to have you along 😀 Oh the roof is far too gone for sealant. Its all rotten wood and twisted metal! I've got a plan for it. Just need to find the time 😬

@@cogboy302 Beer crate on top for fresh ones, container underneath for empties, the thing is very well thought out 😆

@@ched999uk Was chatting to the guys with the Scimitar. Lovely blokes. Ford 302 with a T5 manual but I can't remember what the engine spec was.

I might do it next year 👌

Send it to him!

Turtle Neck Tuning surely? The acronym of TNT is perfect 👍

TNT 💥

More ignition than a Saturn V maps ltd

Turtle neck tuning

@@TheBunjii Once there is an update I will!

The good thing with these more 'modern' engines is that they have pretty substantial alternators anyway. Not the 45amps of something feable like a period alternator. By chance the spare alternator that went on was a 120amp instead of the 90 that came off.

Might want a fan master switch to turn them off for the 1/4 mile sprint?

@@LivingMyBoostLife Relieved to hear the replacement 120amp alternator is up to the job providing enough current to drive all the cooling fans. Are you intending to make and fit two ram air scoops under Psycho Pig,s front valance, like a Scooby WRC Rally Car.

Wider but standard looking wheels are the plan. Hope to run some fatter tyres then.

@@LivingMyBoostLife Think it is a good idea, the missus will be p----d off spending the shopping money on more pram tyres . Must take Psycho Pig to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, show those snooty toffs you can have speed ,fun on a budget and do a few smoking burnouts on those skinny pram tyres.

😆 Brilliant! Thanks for the opportunity and congratulations!

It's properly out of its depth at the top end of the 1/4 mile 😆 I need to go 1/16 racing, would decimate all! 😅

Not down an actual strip but on the road with my Dragy it was doing 13.4 @108mph.

@@LivingMyBoostLife That's very impressive! I got a 13.8 at the pod. When is that scimitar getting an 8hp :)

Eww Wolf races! No. Offset is correct.

I've re-looked at the car, yes they are flush, but your thumbnail looks like the wheels are sticking out past the guards like a yank off roader. If you look at the vid's thumb nail, you'll see my mistake. We were just running the original Dunlop wheels, but widened.

I've got a ZF8 and controller for another project

I don't think so. Don't see many Rover V8s above 300hp

I meant from an availability point of view. Also seems very odd (I guess obscurity is half of the attraction with Saabs, like the hipster of car brands) to put that configuration engine in an engine bay made for a V engine. One of the Japanese V6's seems to make more sense. I have always thought the long bonnet on a Se5/6 Scimitar, seems like it should have a straight six, but that length is for the spare wheel etc. Imagine a BMW N54/N55 and onward turbo six in there, mated to your DCT. Although if you have ever driven a xHP tuned ZF8 box, you will realise why BMW dropped the DCT's in favour of the ZF8. I hated torque converter auto boxes, until I drove a car with a ZF8. They have single handedly made auto's cool again and found in nearly every performance car there is nowadays, and for good reason. A total revelation to a manual only stalwart like myself. The service intervals are also a thing of wonder. I put the ZF8 box down as one of the greatest automotive inventions of this century. I guess the whole point for you though, is uniqueness. There can't be many Scimys out there with a Saab engine, especially with a BMW DCT gearbox. You are clearly an interesting/eccentric bloke and a sucker for punishment, but with your fabrication skills and equipment, I imagine there isn't much you can't make work and repair. Replacing rusty chassis outriggers on your one must be piece of cake. They don't salt the roads here in NZ, so there's a lot less rusty chassis, like I remember there was in the U.K. Oh geez, that reminds me...Black slush, and it getting dark at 4pm. Eww...shudder....
