f**k this thing is loud on the inside.

don't know how happy stu was with it....but I was lucky enough to do some laps in the passenger seat and:

a. it goes like stink

b. handles pretty good and

c. stu seems to handle a steering wheel pretty good.

the dino-line is a unusual setup but its working damn well.

thanks mate, made a small error with uncle Duncan in the car like missing turn 1 but other than that the car was much better behaved. was much more confident under braking.

have some light throttle tuning to sort out and a gearbox selector issue but other than that very happy.

car held its own in a staight line against a few cars boasting 70kwatw more, but the weight factor would have a lot to do with it. wet weather sessions were interesting.....but car was solid once it dried out.

Some good Superlap type cars in the new issue of Zoom Magazine, boys and girls. Tilton Interiors Evo, a psycho red Supra (SUPRAT) and some great photography from the event.

There's also a full feature on the Roger Clark Motorsport (RCM) Gobstopper WRX and Stu's awesome LS1 R32.

Enjoy :-)

I knew there was a build thread around here somewhere and i've only just found it now.

Seeing this animal in the metal idling at a standing still and running on the track is a sight to behold. It's something that you just can't visualise mentally because it has to be seen in person.

Some shots I snapped of it running at Oran Park at the SAUNSW track day. :)

cant run any forced induction over 3000cc engine capacity in sports sedan and maximum of 6000cc aspirated.

ill stroke this engine when i freshen it up which hopefully wont be in the near future. car is a handful now with 300kw, cant imagine another 100kw.

currently in the process of getting car log-booked, just finishing off a few little odds and ends like remote battery isolator cable and sealing rear parcel tray. Getting inspected this week-end.

Thanks for the great words and pictures Xmetal. love the shot at the back of the track....

ls1 is an import. 5.0L V8 was holdens last V8 motor castine block.

if u knew something about those motors u can strap a snail on and get easy 400rwkw with stock internals..no shit motor!

Car all log-booked and have sent away for my L2S liscence.

Looking forward to show-n-shine in december, as i dont think ill get it out for a meeting before the end of the year. Discovered the tach-recall button and got a shock to see highest recorded rpm, probably shouldnt do that too often.

reverse gear repaired and gearbox back in the car, looking forward to next track day which will probably be at wakie and then powercruise.

weighed car and it went 1193kg which is a little heavier than i thought but still lite enough.

Good on you man you should be proud of yourself for trying this . i have a porsche carrera 2 with an LS1 in it, with great help from others , the LS1 motor is lighter than the stock 6 with turbos and generates more power . Good luck

Do show, where is your build thread?

hey guys, long time since any updates. Running the car on Anzac day to finish tune on the track to tidy up some light throttle issues. Also trying some new wheel alignment specs. Hope to see some of you there.

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
