Rather then something that has been bolted together in a backyard i would suggest they are a race derivative of the Exige from one of the European GT3 series. Here are some specs of one i have saved in my favourites :D

- Toyota 1.8 2ZZZ Charge-cooled and supercharged 320bhp

- Dry sump

- Hewland PCT 6 Speed Sequential Transmission (flat shift)

- Limited Slip Differential

- Switchable Traction Control

- 2007 Wide-body

- Quick Release Carbon Fibre Front and Rear Clams and Rear Wing

- Air Jack System

- Digital Dash

- 6-point FIA Approved Roll Cage

- Removeable Steering Wheel

- FIA and HANS Approved Recaro Seat and Race Harness

- Ohlins 4-Way TTX Dampers

- Aluminium Uprights

- AP Twin Master Cylinder System with Dial Bias Adjuster

- 6-Pot AP Front Brake Callipers

- Centre Nut Hubs

- Lotus Sport 5 Spoke Alloy Wheels (10 Inch Rear Wheels)

If i have guessed right then there shouldnt be any real surprise that the thing is as quick as it is

that would crazy fast to drive!!

good article in the current issue of race magazine about the gt lotus. but I'm pretty sure these ones are not directly related.

the "production" bit of production sports cars is very different to the "production" bit of production cars. they are more like sports sedans rules.

Dont follow Duncan :D

The GT3 Exige went up against the Challenge 360, GT3RS etc, the factory hi-po cars. Just like the little GT3 Exige in the linked EC results. I saw the Peter Lucas car at the GT Round at Albert Park earlier this year. Unless he has two or converted engines (doubt it, these things are pretty rare to start with and i think an engine change will mean it is no longer eligible for GT Championship) i am pretty sure its an ex European GT3 Exige. Last time i looked at the Production Sports cars there was a handful of drivers and cars that were also doing the Australian GT Championship.

Awesome, awesome car!

Troy, is that Exige based on the same class rules as the yellow Exige in the GT championship here that Bargwanna drives? I was watching the Clipsal 500 round of the championship last night, and the Lotus was killing it! Nobody, apart from the F430 of Allan Simonsen were even close. Amazing car. :woot:

Roy I am pretty sure it is a different car to what you have listed so he must have 2? As I know the ones you have listed is an Exige where he has clearly marked the entry form elisenot exige and with a 2L engine, and I know if I had one of those exige's I would not be labeling it an elise :)

I have had a few people ask me about a timetable, so that they know when to turn up and watch. My response has been that a timetable would be pretty useless in this style of event. Cars split into sessions, sessions that may or may not be delayed due to offs, recoveries and track clean up. Then in the afternoon two, one car at a time, flying lap shoot outs for 5 cars. Personally I think the earlier sessions will be more interesting for specators with multiple cars on the track at the same time. For people who can't be there all day that's what I have suggested, what do others think?

Cheers

Cool, you are most likely right. LOL, but this is motorsport so i woudl be calling it an Elise as well, just to lower expectations :)

Like they say, speak to a driver of a 300kw track car and he will tell you it only has 250kws. Speak to the driver of a 300kw street car and he will tell you it makes 350kws :P

Guys,

I have just been speaking with one of the Open Class entants and he has booked the GP circuit on the 2nd of July. He has informed me that he is going to let about 20 people come and get on the track and it will be around $225 but you will have to let me know if you are keen so I can forward you onto him so if you want to go to get some laps in the week before the event you better get in quick.

FLop this is golden opportunity, better put me down for the remaining 19 places.

For the experienced guys - does OP GP slow down in the afternoons like wakie does?

Should we expect the track to be quicker in the morning? (weather considering of course!!)

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      No. GKTech arms have spherical bearings in them. No bushes. You will not need bushes for those arms. The sphericals are a bit of a maintenance nightmare. I have replaced all of mine several times in the 5 or so years I've had them, and I have the arms out regularly to clean and lube the balls. Worth the pain on an R32, because the standard arm design is trash. If you need the camber adjustment, there are other options (than the GKTech ones), although I would still lean towards and prefer the GKTech ones, even with the maintenance load of the sphericals. The caster adjustment is also highly valuable, allowing for setting the car up to drive straight. There are a million options for these, including the GKTech ones. I've had Tein rods on mine for 20 years and the balls are much less trouble in that location. Never given me a moment's pain. All positives, no negatives. I consider them compulsory.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Thanks for all that information I appreciate it. To answer your questions: - Yep that's what I mean. These guys are professional painters to so I must be missing something. It's a bit hard to explain. - With the primer landing on clearcoat, I make sure that the surrounding clearcoat is scuffed to 240 grit as my epoxy primer says that I only need to sand the area to 240 grit. - Yeah so similar to the first question, assuming that the paint landed on the unscuffed clearcoat because I've seen that happen. - Yep I want to prep the surface in that order. Only reason because epoxy primer will protect it from rust and I need that atm with this crappy Sydney weather. I think I was worried about time, if I try to put the filler down but screw it up somehow and I don't have time to sand it off and reapply it then need to put primer later that it might start to rust again so I wanted to apply the primer as quick as possible to not deal with rust.  - I just deleted some answers, I just realised after watching a video and what you said about looking at the data sheet, that I need to read the data sheet on the specific filler I'm using. It's possible now that I put epoxy primer first was a waste of time and need to go to bare metal lol

      I did. I went to a suspension guy and he told me because I don't have adjustable camber arms it's the reason why my car veers towards the left if I take my hands off the wheel but if I drive my other every day car and take my hands off the steering wheel it goes completely straight. I think it's common with Skyline's. In order to fix the problem, I likely need gktech camber arms then nismo bushes since I have poly bushes atm, then a wheel alignment after that. With my car if I take my hands off the steering wheel on a really bumpy road before stopping at a light I have to hold my steering wheel somewhat tight otherwise my car will legit just go completely in the other direction quite quickly and I'll slam into something lol instead of stopping straight. I Believe this YouTuber had the same issue and fixed it with gktech arms. At timestmap 6:05 he talks about how the car doesn't veer anymore after installing these arms.
