Let the party begin!!!

 

I am throttle man on our first sea trials before turning over to Martini Race team. Powered by 2 - 750 HP ILMOR V10's.



Helm on the Vector 40GT. Powered by 2 - 1400 HP supercharged Teague 542's. Runs a touch under 140 MPH at 292 gallons fuel an hr.



I also design / build the interior on the Vectors as well. Just wanted to share a few of my previous builds... looking forward to this build.

Party on!!

 

Wow, great first thread and introduction. Sounds and looks like you've got a great start on what's gonna be a very well ordered car. Good Luck and welcome aboard!

Yes it is a good intro thread! How do you respond to these amazing super boat photos! I first thought the Martini boat and helicopter shot was of Remote Control toys.. till I studied the chopper a bit more and noticed it was the real thing!! Cool stuff and the red MX5 looks straight and clean from that head on photo shot. Good luck and keep this thread going.

 

+1 ^ Looks like a great start and I', excited to see it come together!

 

Any updates?

 

There will be more updates soon, I have been crazy busy this last month finishing up on a super boat drone for the Israeli Military, possibly some sneak peeks if anyone is interested but I don't want to drift off of subject too far, I have a NDA in place so must be careful and ask permission before I post. As to the Miata Project, getting ready to dive in as I am taking a week off from the world and doing something for me!! More pics to come soon.
Thanks
