7pm/1:30am... wow. We've been working for so long that i still hear ratchets, grinders and welders sounds. Holy crap.

I know Harrison from quite a lot of time now, i've seen his works in pics and i knew he were a real professionist, but i swear i didnt expect him to be able to work at our rhythms flawlessly.

On this project was involved the whole garage(JC, Franco, Joe, Frenki, Remco, Jaz and me) plus Harry. Basically we were open this morning and afternoon(down to 3pm) for public(mainly had to deliver some parts to customers) and then closed so we could focus on the 127.

First we took out all the front end parts(in order to not break anything) and the old engine and transmission, it wasnt too bad honestly, we rolled it on the dyno(engine only) and the result was 140hp at flywheel.



But well, you know me, i'm not exactly what you would define normal. I went to Japan specifically to see and buy this engine, a fully built K20A stroked to 2.2 with an impressive power output of 250hp and a complete 6 speed transmission, it was a good deal, wouldnt have been able to buy something like that locally.

And yep, you understood correctly. That's almost 80% more than the old engine, which had already ported at about 90% power more than its stock form(75hp) meaning a total power increase of about 230%.


We knew we couldnt keep the stock running gear under this thingo, it would've been too dangerous and honestly i dont like that my things fall apart while running on them. So we put a full 595 abarth racing running gear, we used all race parts including a full set of AP racing big brakes and some new Fatlace 16" wheels to top this wonderful cake.


It isnt obviously finished, we're going to work on it tomorrow and try to take it as close as done as possible. It still needs proper interiors and some other small details.

I am still in disbelief of how we managed to do all this in such a short time. Anyways we're just back from a ride in the highway, gonna have a beer all together and then go to sleep, it's going to be another tough day.
