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.

oh mama!!! now that would be fun :blink:

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.

we were thinking about it but probably not as we would have to change the exhaust for the sound issue so proably QR for us next for test.

totally understand i"m busy this week trying to fit 2 or maybe 3 mufflers to my car well maybe 4 to achieve 100 dba.

lol that is so damn true! don't forget, a street car is still standard even with 30k spent on engine and suspension

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!!)

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
