Just wanted to be the first one to pass this on... for you speed 6 nutters...

Austec Racing have recently employed some *MAJOR* heavyweight engineer, that knocks the socks off some of the best in the UK, he's some 50+ year old with mega racing-engines experience!!!!

Great news for the latest speed 6 developments (Austec Racing are working on a TWIN TURBO speed 6 conversion!!!! aiming for 600bhp to boot!!!) yikes

Anyway, just wanted to pass this news on... aint advertising anything like the other boys, just that, if anyone wants to meet some heavyweight who's been with the best, then pop over to Austecs for a chat with this man...!!!! bow

Well done Paul - for nabbin him!!!

And with the news of the TT conversion for Speed 6's - looks like theres going to be some interesting stuff in the pipeline!!!! clap

Nope; no advertising there.... rolleyes

But seriously, it will be interesting to see how this works out, there is not a lot of room in there and dealing with the turbines heat will be an interesting challenge. I am sure they have a cunning plan and wish them the very best. Good to see more real performance options coming along. Any approximated costings available yet?

Cheers

Who said anything about the TT project being on offer to end customers???
I was just passing the news on about its existence...

They're also working on another project, 800bhp project, and no, its not a TVR...
