Swiper..please elaborate on some details of the stealth bomber..im curious as to why your not using the 2.8 that you have for sale.

Im tempted to put your 2.8 short in my car...damn house renovating sucking the cash though.

one word...Nitto.

The stealth bomber will look like a standard car, sound like a standard car but go like a supercar. Its the only way to do them these days with all the negative views towards the modified car scene. Under the bonnet the car will appear to be totally standard but will be nudging 400KW. The brakes and suspension will be big dollar top shelf stuff though and may give the game away. Croydon Racing will be in charge of the tuning and set-up.

I can do a head identical to the one on my racecar as a 20K long engine package if you like.

Not that nitto chinese crap HAHA, my sarcasm at its best!

Pauln the r32gtr is a japanese supercar in its standard form...the aust delivered gtr hit the market in 91 @ 130k :)

Can't wait to see the new toy though, twoogles brother from the same mother!

Yeah...its really painful to hear opinions from people who have had absolutely no experience with a product but seem to be an expert overnight.

The Nitto will rev much better than the Tomei, will work properly straight out of the box and be stronger.

I have been looking at the nitto stuff lately too..i like the fact they are are 4340 & full counterweight unlike most others in a stroker.

To be honest i will be pushing near 400kw soon with the engine thats already in the car,& everthing looks stock also.

Watcha gonna call it Paul. Threegle ? :P

(Cryptic or what) :)

Twootl...TWO.07L...lol

Nah it will wear the old plates on it and its silver...so really look the same as the old car did 5 years ago.

mmm...full counter goodness...i beam rods...JE ring package...and check the cross-section of those gudgeons.

couldn't agree anymore with your statement!

what nice gear nitto make :P crd delivers yet again!

It will be very interesting to see what the 180 cc (or whatever it is with the NITTO stroker) will do to your power graph with your sexy head. Still RS's Paul?

turbo's will be not quite RS'...too big for my driving ability...or lack there of on a circuit.

spent a big day at CRD with Jim and Con...car is making some good progress. Testing on Monday at Sydney Dragway...will be a good day.

Many thanks to CRD for sorting the car out...should be quick.

Theo has the worlds best job...jim tunes the cars and theo 'test drives' them lol...good bloke though!

We are making more power than before...but the torque graph tells more of a story...peak torque earlier in the rev. range and holds the line almost horizontal all the way to 10 000rpm.

:(

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
