Mark And Duncans R32 Build

[Duncan]

hey that statement is still current

[haw001]

It's kinda a rolling twelve months. We'll get there eventually. I'm now living in Melbourne so the car is down with me in the workshop. Between here and April it won't get touched as I've got to get the other car ready for Targa, but after that I'm pretty keen to get moving on it. Lot's of weekends and late nights ahead of me.

So its 365 days of working on the car but spread out over 15 years

so you only have to work on the car 24 days a year

[r33_racer]

haha stable....that's exactly what i need to store all the cars

lol michael as if you don't have 2 projects on the go yourself when is that race car going to be back on the track btw, was a shame not to see it at the national sprints at morgan park last month

damo, honestly can't remember. but they are a cheap forged one, originally bronze but we had Craved powercoat them white. they look excellent, hopefully they will be strong enough.....

BTW this bloody car better be seconds quicker than the production car. otherwise I'll burn the f**ker to the ground.

That is true mate. But im always doing or trying to do something crazy and overly time consuming.

Good news the race car is finally running. Needs to get tuned to suit E85 now and then its time to actually get back on the track. Stupid cars, you fix one problem, then another problem thats never been an issue pops up. Fingers crossed there are no more! The rings appear to be sealing perfectly now since I assembled this motor dry. No oil vapours out the exhaust and nothing out of the dry sump tank breather. Just as it should be!

Dont burn it to the ground if thats the case...just swing it my way! :)

I'd be lucky to get 24 days a year!

Well you will be able to race it in historics when its done...against other historics like the R35 lol

[byebye]

so after spending hours and hours reading all 60 pages i need to know what has happened to the nugget! been a while since an update...

[Duncan]

hey good perserverance!

what happened is that the car was about 70% complete, when Mark had to move to melbourne for work. I had no space for the car so it moved with him, and I don't think he has got back into it.

I still think it would make a great track car, and when I need a second project again and the garage is ready, I may bring it back up here and finish it off. It really owes us bugger all and should be reasonably quick and fun.

It will never go to a $uperlap though, that event has come way too far and I'm not interested in spending $200k for 10 laps and finishing in 70th place....there are lots better places for club style competitions

[MBS206]

So now that you have a garage, has this car moved at all?

[Risking]

nope......

[MBS206]

Hey Brad, can I borrow the truck and move it for him?

[Risking]

Or Duncan can buy my truck and go pick it up himself. Now that sounds like a good idea to me.

[MBS206]

If this were facebook I'd click the like button on that idea...

[tweety bird]

bahahahaha...

you've really f**ked yourself with this new sup forum duncan, because now we can keep up with all your old race car threads easier.

[Duncan]

haha I'm sure it's not the only build thread on long term hold.

It is still down in melbourne gathering dust, and I would still like to finish it one day. First I have to do the ute, get the March aback, get my race card running, and then buy Brad's truck and go and recover this car from Melbourne. So, I guess not this year

[Risking]

That's two weeks worth or work........

[tweety bird]

^ what he said, get on it duncan.

[MBS206]

What you need to do is take the truck on an extensive test drive to Melbourne and back.

Sell the ute as is.

Work on the March in the correct month.

[tweety bird]

update?

[Duncan]

lol not this race car.

<------- that race car.

this one is a long way down the list. I think.
