Holy shit...that thing would break traction in top gear. Weighs about 850kg...that's just...f***ed lol.

Edit: All that technology and it's got S15 air vents? Pfft...

I'm kind of interested to see how they designed the brakes. They don't look all too impressive from the images but if it can hold grip enough to accelerate that fast and perform equally well on the braking it should be great on the track, as long as you don't understeer into the wall.

Edit:

guessing it may be the same as the MT900R

AP 6-piston front calipers, AP 4-piston rear calipers, AP 378mm ventilated front disc, AP 355mm ventilated rear disc, Manually adjustable front / rear brake bias, Optional front and rear upright carbon brake ducts

i will believe it when the numbers are confirmed. not saying it isn't possible or that it won't be fast, but all the info comes from the IAD press release. hasn't been tested by anyone else yet.

also i think this will me be more of a straight line hero than a track car. it will be quick around a track but i think it will be too powerful to be super quick. i think round a tight track much less powerful cars will out perform it, kind of like how the veyron isn't that quick around a track.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
