Not sure if any of you have seen this not a bad effort and read.

Thought i'd post considering the amount of track car build threads.

Koenigsegg engine my ass- all it is is a boggo quad-cam 32V 4.6L Mustang engine. Koenigsegg just use the block from those engines, and the basic head dimensions- and then custom make every single part that matters

Champ if you read the thread he says that the real motor won't go in to the end of the build, i'd say it just to mock everything.

Question is,,,do they make them for men???.

I'll take an SR8 before waisting my money on that ugly box.

Really? I think this thing is way cool. I love things left of field and that have had a huge input of engineering from the owners. Much like the guy on here who has done wonders with a VW Bug. Way cooler then an overgrown RC car. :ninja:

As it is now it produces 170hp at idle, 290hp at 2000rpm... and after that the turbos really kick in... so there is always enough power...!

What a box.

I bet it will handle well too. :ninja:

Yes really Troy,,,I like the engineering side of it too but why do it to such an ugly bloody car. That VW is beautiful. It has style and class that box has vomit righten all over it.

If we ever end up on the track together one day mate I'll flash the lights of my RC car every time I lap ya. :D:bunny::bunny:

Just make sure your batteries are fully charged and you are running your Tamiya Gold engine that weekend :bunny:

Yeh its friggin ugly! But its so ugly and its a "dead men dont wear plaid" kind of thing that it borders on cool as its offensive to all the usual F&F crowd that think stickers and Jap badges maketh the car :D

It different so i love it! :bunny:

...and dont take any sledging against Radicals as criticism, they are exactly what i crave from a track car. Low weight, no assist, just the car, reflexes and stooopidity! :)

It even passes 1000hp before 1 bar(14.7psi) of boost.

If we get 1500,1700 or 2000hp really doesent matter, it is only in it's drag-spec configuration it will be ble to put down these hp numbers.

As it is now it produces 170hp at idle, 290hp at 2000rpm... and after that the turbos really kick in... so there is always enough power...!

Totally off bost, it produces somwhere between 550-600hp if everything continues as planned.

Holy crap and we go on about boost response in our skylines sayin i get blah blah horsepower by 4000 he gets 1000hp before 1 bar, burn out pig if i ever heard of 1. imagine trying to keep it straight at the drag strip in a rwd car.....

It makes honda power at idle :P

I would have brought the 32 gtr he was going on about, 50 times better looking.

but i can see his reasoning some guys build em others buy em

That is some insane engineering. The team behind that car have amazing skills and must have amazing connections to get a hold of a koeniggseggseggseggvikinggabbaseg engine.

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
