Default Felix's P1

Back in April I bought my P1 , It was one of the two Prodrive presscars used during the P1's launch. The car had been with it's previous owner for the last 5 years , but he was not involed with any clubs or shows , so when I start posting about my ownership many had thought the car had gone.





The car had been really impressive untill one fatefull night when things went really belly up.....












As you can see some proper carnage of the Nth degree. The engine was mullered beyond repair and the chaps at Scooby-Projects came up with a numbe of options , but the ace in the pack was a very nice spec Zen Performance engine that was up for grabs with just 6000 miles.

The spec of the build was , STI9 nitrided crank, forged rods, original pistons, ACL black series race bearings, ARP stud set, cosworth steel head gaskets, lateral 12mm oil pump, new oil modine, new sump, reground valves and seats. No expensive was spared with this build and a bill of £8000 proved it's no corner cutting attitude.

One installed and all damaged parts were replaced , the boys at SP got Bob Rowle to do the mapping. The final figures and power graph made me a happy bunny.....



The car was given a good clean up before I collected and this is how it looked when I arrived....





Most importantly my mascot was presentable


I've now had the car back 12 days and I have done 500 miles and it's been another eye opener. The car feels so much easier to drive with all that yummy torque and now the mapping is right the overrun is brilliant. I took the car upto an e30 meet last Sat and instead of the normal anti-jap attitude ( just light humor ) the guys and gals were impressed with it
