Saar from Tavarish is back with another ambitious project, and this time it's a 2015 McLaren P1. But hold on to your hats, because Saar has decided to ditch the hybrid drive assembly and transform this hypercar into a pure powerhouse. It's a bold move, and one that hasn't been done before on a P1. But Saar is ready to take on the challenge.
The first hurdle Saar faces is the exorbitant cost of parts for this million-dollar machine. And let's not forget the scarcity of these parts, making them nearly impossible to find. But Saar's determination is unwavering. He knows that to make this project a success, he needs to strip the car down to its bare bones and rebuild it from scratch.
As Saar begins the arduous process of dismantling the P1, he uncovers a rather unexpected surprise - sand. Lots of it. It seems this hypercar has been to the beach without anyone's knowledge. But Saar soldiers on, undeterred by the sand and the challenges that lie ahead.
One of the major tasks at hand is removing the wiring harness, a task that proves to be as difficult as it sounds. Saar struggles with the grommet and the tight spaces, but with some perseverance and a little help from his friend, he manages to get the job done.
Saar's determination and attention to detail are evident throughout this project. From cleaning and removing the wheel wells to repairing the carbon fiber hood, he is leaving no stone unturned. And with the help of Carly, a car diagnostic system, Saar is able to code and customize the car's electrical system to his liking.
This project is far from over, but Saar is well on his way to transforming this McLaren P1 into a true beast on the road. With each step, he proves that with passion and a little bit of grit, anything is possible. So stay tuned, because this is one project you won't want to miss.
