You could also look at getting an E series Falcon.

For the money your not going to find anything more powerfull and they weigh 1500kg in the EF's and less then 1400 kg in the EA and EB's, once you strip them that will be fairly light weight, 165kw, and very reliable.

Any updates? Did you decide on what to get?

By the way, to keep prices down, a road registered car you can drive to and from the track would help greatly. Don't have to buy a trailer or tow vehicle then.

Just have to be careful and not bin it on the track.

you must have one huge garage Ben! lol

what are they going to be for? supersprints?

haha, no mate, my garage isn't enormous, when I say "we" I refer to my little bunch of racing mates. We're lucky that two of the group each own largish mechanical workshops. Basically, there's a car for everyone, and if we keep them cheap we all reckon it's more fun. Half the fun is building them together, and because they owe so little we can kind of treat them as "tear-offs" :D

They're just built for circulating the local racetracks, nothing in particular. ;)

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
