Looks great

I love the seat color. I guess this is a sign you'll be keeping it for a while? ;-)

F1BHP

Looking good, I like the seats also, much more up to date style.

I'm assuming thats the 09+ seat with the air-scarf? was there any problem switching the seats over from the older R230s? I was seriously considering swapping the seats but I had no idea if it would still function.

F1BHP

I don't see any air-scarf, they are the same seats just covered in the red, I think

V12TTenthusiast

Yeah your right I don't see an air scarf but the head rest part doesn't look like from a 03-08 seat

F1BHP

I see what you mean it looks like he has modified it to be larger. I was thinking about turning mine into more of a bucket seat by increasing the size of the bottom and side bolsters, then doing some new leather.

BespokeUR

Thank you all. We made custom headrest to look like the 2009 without the air scarf. If you guys are interested you can send us your old headrest and we can do the same.

Wow it looks like a really nice conversion from the 03-08 to the 09+, where are you located? I may have to send mine out.

We are in orange county CA. Will post picture of the complete project in a few weeks hopefully. Waiting for speedriven upgrades then we will pull the engine out to install upgrades.

BespokeUR

This is a Red one we did in the past.

Which company supplied the BS kit?

F1BHP

What upgrades are you doing from speedriven?
Did you see my build wide body sl 600 v12 on the search?

BespokeUR

Just saw it. Looks like you have a Misha kit. We are doing:
-ECU/TCU
-Intercooler
-Pump
-Downpipes
-CEL 200 cats
-Upgraded Turbos
-SL65 injectors

F1BHP

We should be getting similar performance numbers. It will be good to compare.

My kit is from Poland, Suhorovsky is the maker. I had seen a lot of the Prior and the Misha kits so I wanted something different. It also gives it more of a SLS or R231 up to date look.

Eurocharged will be doing my tune.

Are you doing a custom intake? Or heat exchanger?

The v12 suffers badly from heat soak and timing is pulled very quickly if not dealt with.

It will be ok for the 1/4 mile but ant more and you will need more cooling.

What are you doing to the turbos?

BespokeUR

F1BHP.....will try to do custom intake. bigger turbos
KUSTOM2K1.....This one was a prior design kit i believe.

F1BHP

I assume you at using the same housing or are you modifying the turbos and manifold?

I have not seem the 2k1 used on our cars that should be interesting, the Honda guys seem to get a lot of power from them, but they don't have to deal with our restrictive manifolds.

BespokeUR

i think they bore out the factory turbos and put billet wheels instead of the stock ones.

F1BHP

You are having Speedriven do the turbos?

BespokeUR

yes

F1BHP

You are waiting for the stuff from Speedriven to pull the engine, does this mean you have managed to remove the turbos without dropping the engine?

BespokeUR

no had to get cores

Looks sexy... This is definitely a looker!
