Can we have stockest looking OMGWTF power making car?

I have a sneaking suspicion I know which car will take that one out,but feel free to better the effort! So far,from a local car,549 AWKW is the mark to beat from something v. neat,v. tidy and v. streetable IMHO. Go stealth!

If your talking about JUN I wouldn't call that a street car.

Define street car.Anything turn key reliable,able to make such a figure on pump fuel,can run to the shops and back without fouling plugs or overheating,of reasonably legal ride height,able to contain more than one person...dunno;missed anything else?

Yes but does it actually do all those things I wouldn't think so.

Street car in theory, yeah ok - but in reality I doubt it sees the street that much.

It's a beautiful car I would probably do the same.

It does do those things,and then some. At some stages it's daily driven to work and parked outside with the nasty weather and all ;) ...so,in my eyes,it's open to that particular award of 'normal looking,BIG power'. Although,in fairness,CEF11E said even standard looking when you pop the bonnet,so the cars I've been thinking of would lose out on that count.

There's a few other cars with slightly less(and one with more)power that could be nominated,but they'd either be too showy from either the outside or under the bonnet for the stealth idea,but there's many other suggested brackets they could be placed in...

I'm more ticked off that my car is not further down the build process to be able to be seen... :) Then again,those that know it already know where I'm heading :) !

Here's what 460+ AWKW looks like without high mount twins or a big single...Unfortunately,it's not an ACT SAU'er,but from the outside is a very(VERY) neat 32 without the bling most people put on their rides.

Just thought I'd post up a nice piccie for some inspiration... :)

I know where yours is heading Jayce, but I dont know if you'll have it all done by the end of this year...

But incase you do, we'll have a 32 V-spec2 with pearl paint and big power category just for you. :teehee:

Well anywho, thanks for the enthusiasm guys, I hope we'll get this off the ground for next year cos I'll definatly be entering the best 32 Gtst category!

I know who gets my vote for the biggest power in the non skyline bracket. And it is a true ACT built and tuned car and thats ESP with their WRX 515kw and BMW with a supra engine 530kw. Maybe you could have price brackets aswell as most people don't have an open cheque book for what it takes to pay someone to build them a 500kw plus car with all the goodies.

Thanks for the pics of Paul and Staceys car Jayce. Still reckon you can't beat the twins for the street.

In agreeance there;massive performance from Dan' and Glenn's stable! And yes,P + S's 32 is one of my all time faves! Hence why I'm sticking with twins!

The unlimited vs limited budget idea is taken on board,too!

Cheers,J;have a top New Years!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

      roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
