That’s own you make the best of an unfortunate situation. Here’s to the next version/ upgrade of the Ultima - this is going to be a BEAST

Gutted for you mate. Run what you brung was break what you take. I saw the car on the A45 on the transporter on my way home from work. Thank you for being honest about being terrified on the strip. It really is scary and takes some getting used to. Not least because of how grippy it is. Hope you get it sorted soon. Don't lose heart.

@@Ne0n570That fox to the left is my 20+year project car and the only thing left factory is most of the interior and the body and none of this crap has ever happened to me and it didn’t happen on my Evo project either or my Volkswagen golf project, the only time this happened to me was when I was messing with cars as a kid and couldn’t afford or didn’t have the knowledge to do it properly.

A Range Rover broke down? How unlike them! 😂 Sam, to be honest, you needed a lot more time to shake down the Ultima before the event. It's just one of those things. But, it looks and sounds incredible. Once fixed and all the weaknesses found and upgraded, it's going to be awesome.

@@AdamForeman That’s a Range Rover engine? Sure looks a lot like a small block Chevy to me but I know sh¡t about Range Rovers. He should change it to a Ford Windsor and his cooling issues would be gone and the power and sound would be beautiful, cheap also

No, didn't you watch the video? They towed the Ultima to the drag strip with their Range Rover! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@AdamForeman not really once I realized the guy making the video had no real clue what he was doing and was doing everything he could to pad the runtime I started hitting the advance button so if you’re talking about that broken piece of sh¡t on the back of the tow truck that’s something I couldn’t care less about but now that you’ve told me what it is I guess I was wrong because I do care even less now

Super cool, one dream would be fuel injection one day for your Ultima I'm not sure what junkyard V8 efi are where you live but it would save so much trouble and a basic 5.3 ls or something of the sorts and then just enjoy.

@@Hardupgarage just checking 😆 The Nitron Clubsports I fitted to my Lotus are inverted all round but seems the Ultima ones are only inverted on the rear. Not the end of the world but seems strange as on camera there does look like space to have them inverted. Anyways, great car, great video. Onwards and upwards with the engine debacle.

Request: could you interview other owners of these kitcars that are frankly real race cars. The owners are usually highly skilled and versed in car history and their cars and their modifications. The Ford GT40 and the Le Mans race and endurance racing has produced a mass amount of kit cars.... Where I would regard a MC claren to be one of the current top dogs. Most of the current generation hypercars are coming from the Le Mans type racing cars. I just love this yellow green thing. And I hope you will be able to either fix or replace the engine soon. Drooling over pistons borings and crankshafts mixes beautifully with fresh coffee and a fresh video. Please use adapted gainstaging when you start shouting on the strip. Maybe the camera has a limiter. Or perhaps you can fix the audio post production with a simple dbx compressor limiter. They usually do a great job and can be bought second hand easily for 3 cups of coffee in your local pub.
