** and edit: just realised it's a replica, not a factory turbo SE.

Some nice track cars on here so i thought i'd post up my Rally car for anyone interested.

Built it up myself with my Dad and i run it in the Amsag rally series and Cams events. It is time for something new though so S13 Silvia is in production at the moment and hoping to have that up and running by mid next year. Looking to be able to do some track days in it as well although it wont be that well set up for tar.

good one Jason. What's in it?

I have a soft spot for the old Dattos. Had my share of 1200 coupes, sedans and a ute, 120Y coupes and a wagon with everything from A12 on twin SUs, A12 turbo, L16-18-20 and CA18DET engines. And a 4.4l V8 240K coupe.

Yeh gotta love them simple to work on and take a beating day in day out with not much complaint haha.

It has the A15 with plenty of head work big cam, bored out and running twin Dhelorto's. The rest of the work is in the suspension disc brakes all round with vented rotars etc etc its prolly taken about 3-4 years of playing around to get it up to a decent car that is supprisingly quick against all the 1600's and even some of the 4wd guys. It just lacks any straight line speed so ive decided to retire her and go with the Silvia which is going to be a whole different story but im looking forward to it.

oooh any pics or more info on the 240K?

it was a project car several years ago now, but I sold it on. Shouldn't have, it was a really clean rust free shell. Had flares, not the GTR style ones but would have been easy to change them over. It was a Leyland P76 4.4l Alloy V8, basically a bigger version of the old Rover V8. Supra 5spd. Should have kept it... I have some pics somewhere on the hard drive at home, but it wasn't much to look at really. I bought it at a time when I had about 3 projects on the go and never did anything with the car. Always regretted selling it though, and even tried to track it down to buy it back a couple of years ago...

mates parents gave him a 240K as a first car... was absolutely mint, old lady owner had done about 60,000km... he whinged about it and we used to make fun of it, sold it really cheap in the end... now they are popular again and worth a bit he is spewing he got rid of it... some flares, chin spoiler, a V8 and some old school 0 offset rims... would have been perfect!

hindsight is always 20/20

that is a good price! turbo clubman ftw!

look what Santa's bringing me. It may be a slightly late delivery, but I'll let him slide just this once:

these are unbelievably good value from the states at the moment. Will wait till I see how long they take to get here and what the service is like after handing over the money before I recommend this guy to anyone though.

I am loving the idea of a Clubman, but reading up on the whole Lotus 7 Replica cars there are a few good ones around and soooo many dodgy ones. How do you tell the difference :rofl:

I want a R300 Caterham without an engine then throw in some sweet 9,000rpm NA goodness :D But then i live in an apartment that already has a living room full of parts so think i need a house before something like that :D

Defiantly not doable in an apartment, nor is a datto :D

    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
