Always been a fan of this build. Something about that front end on a db8.. Not to mention the powerplant. Good work man, builds like these keep the "scene" Alive.

Re: RHD 600whp DB8 slow Build
thank you all very much for the positive feedback the car has been running real well has a few good kills lol such as a built evo X , ducati street bike, some vettes, srt-4's , one night on my way home from cruising I bottomed out my oil pan pretty bad (wasn't leaking) drove it home and it sat for a while ( work out of town a lot so no time to fix it) well a couple months ago I bought a new pan welded on my oil return fitting and drove the car for a bit after that when one day the oil light came on........ still to this day it does it so I pulled the engine out sent out my turbo to have the seals replaced (still under warrenty lol) and still waiting on that to get back btw. well this past weekend I was home and bored so I pulled the engine started stripping the bay disassembled the engine and ordered parts to fully built it hahaha
parts are :
CP-10.5:1 87mm (std) size pistons
manley turbo tuff rods
arp head & main bolts
oem headgasket
crower springs, titanium retainers
bearings
new clutch
brian crower sg2 turbo cams
type-s oil pump, girdle, chain, etc.
chain guides
rbc manifold
some pswjdm goodies
new rotors
misc stuff
need to get more stuff but i'm gonna wait until I get this assembled so I can see what exactly i'm missing.....
I wanted sleeve the block but I don't think i'm going to after all
oh and I still need to either fix my tranny (2nd is gone) or buy another one :/

Re: RHD 600whp DB8 slow Build
