Thanks, no marks on the seat,a standard drivers seat is for sale. The Velo has made a huge difference to feel in the car. The seat fix is on a bit of a go slow at the moment as my mate who can weld is finding it a a bit hard to get some race car play time as his wife is due any day now with twins. Fun times ahead for him. I not looking to run it until mid Feb so we have plenty of time to sort the seat position out.

This is how is sits at the moment. Between business commitments, and building the million $ dream house the cars budget is a bit slim for the next 6 months or so. Over the next month or so I will be fitting a fiberglass bonnet with flush mounted pins, battery cut off switch etc, relocating the battery to the floor behind the passenger seat and a few other little CAMS requirement stuff. Then it will be inspected for log book. One of the next big jobs is to lower the drivers seat as my head with the helmet on sits up in the bars a little bit too much for my liking. Over here we have Street Cars which is a Sports Sedan with rules, more like a IPRA car without turbo restricter and does not have to have a dash. As the car is still road reg and in the Speed Event Series I do run it as a road registered car and until I get pinged it will remain registered. The idea is for the car to do the Speed Event Series and a couple of club races each year. I do plan to add more power in the future but not much more and 400 to 430 rwhp to keep it reliable and cost effective and more importantly FUN. It currently weights 1,325kg's with half a tank of fuel and no driver so there is still heaps of weight to go. I will try and update in more detail from here on and welcome any feedback.

Using a ECUtech display unit for now until the budget allows for a proper dash with all the bells and whistles. Then we fitted up some new DBA4000 rotors for the front with Ferado DS2500 pads all round. I cracked a left rear rotor in October last year on a 3 day event so all I could do at the time was fit up a pair of skimmed standard rear rotors that are still in the car for now.

So we cleaned the interior to get rid of all the sticky stuff after dry iceing the sound deadenning stuff off even had the missus helping out. Then we painted it: 2 tone was a good idea in our heads but an absolute bastard to do. The dash cut and covered in felt and door trims were made from that plastic sign flute material covered in felt. I am still running electric windows and mirrors.

Roll cage construction: Finished at and back home: Did make one mistake with the cross bar under the dash in that it now does not allow the standard cluster to be refitted.

Thanks

Part 2. Then i had a spin at the Collie hillclimb, I locked a left rear brake over some bumps and the speed recall i did have in the car recalled max speed at 207km/h and I did not hit anything. This spin put the car off the road for most of last year for a cage install. It scared the absolute crap out of me. Pic:

Hi all, I am pleased to find that track car builds are now in the motorsport section. I have read a few over the weekend and have decided to make a build thread here as well. I will do this in a series of posts to make it easier for people to follow. In short I have owned the car for a bout 4 years and will copy a my build thread from another forum to save time. I bought the car about 4 years ago to use in the Speed Event Series, it got delayed by a dick head at a certain workshop. It is now proudly looked after by Andrew at Hyperdrive. It was wingless when I got it but now has a white bootlid with GTR copy wing. Mods so far are: Standard RB25 (compression is a bit low on a few cylinders) HKS 2835 Turbo Sard 800cc injectors Greddy Plenum Yellow Jacket coil packs 3" turbo back exhaust Wilkinson's Bilstein coilover Cusco camber and caster rods HKS boost controler Nistune Koyo radiator High flowed standard exhaust manifold P1 Racing rims running Toyo R888 Roll Cage Thanks to Tom at Racing Dynamics Oil Cooler and remote oil filter kit unknown brand FMIC Oil Catch Can Strut brace Hicas Lock Kit Fuel in tank Bosch 044 Velo Apex seat There may be a bit more but I can't remember ATM. Currently on Hyderdrive Dyno it is pushing 350 rwhp My PB times at Wanneroo and Collie are: Wanneroo Short: 57.209 Wanneroo Long: 1.06.6733 Collie: 51.3304 Anyway you are not here to listen tome dribble shit so onto the Pics: When I first got it: Then added stickers to please the accountant:

I give this a 3rd run Forrest run

A good radiator, oil cooler and a set of bendix ultimates will get you going no worries.

For me, ABS on the road and no ABS on the track.

Facebook tells me it is: It was Ray ferraris old silver car. The owner was not driving, he let one of his mate drive who said brakes failed

Hey, Does anyone know who had the R33 that went into the wall at the end of the back straight? Is all ok?

Love my ECUtalk unit

I am out for a month or two while the roll cage gets welded in.

245/40ZR17

I run the Toyo R888's. They tend to be ok on a heavier car like the R33 for 5 laps or so then the back starts to get very squishy. Running on pressure as I mentioned above, the wear rate has been even so far. Running neg 4.5 camber at front and neg 1 camber at rear can't remeber toe.

I start at 26 cold and run them to 31 to 32 hot.

Yep, I will be there tomorrow. Want Andy at Hyperdrive to look at a handling issue and also to get used to the new mechanical diff. Then she is off the road for a couple of months while we put a cage in the beast.

flat spotted R888

Understeer is not the problem, more like over steer. the track was very slippy on Sunday.

Nice pic of my car. It was a good day, my times were slower than expected but most said the same. Gotta learn how to drive again with a locker diff. I have video of the red Civic and he is pulling away from me, it is a quick car in the twisty bits.

I am giving Albany a miss this year, hopefully the car will be in getting a CAMS approved cage when these rounds are on.

I am registered for the series and will be there will bells on.
