After 1,5 years of hard work and many, many hours we finally started the modified vw 1.9 tdi engine. We filmed the start-up and at 2.25 even a flame shows up in the exhaust. That tastes like more. Since there were a few water leaks we only reved up to about 3000rpm so there is a lot of rpm left. All the rest was ok and a lot of oil pressure so the engine is ready to make some pulls. Now we have 3 weeks to finish the build and make it ready for its maiden run. We can’t wait for its first full pull!

Special Thanks to Hans van de Wiel and Erik Broeders for filming and helping us out.
See you all on the track!
