Duncan Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 fark that car is outrageously quick if it only has 650hp...good work! its abolsutely killing those cars on the straights and still going thru the corners well. well driven too do you have more specs/info/pics of the car?

N I B Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 I think Power figures are Over quoted in Australia. The Dyno says more but the Turbo wont flow more than 650fwhp, Thats why I quoted the more real figure. The Engine ia an RB25, Stock head with Poncams, Greddy intake,6Boost manifold, Wolf V500 ECU, GT35 with small exhaust housing, CP pistons and Rev rods,All About 4 years old now, It started out in Hill climbs/Speedevents Also.Uses KW Coil overs and Arizona Zcar Willwood brakes, PPG gearbox When we get the chassis right we will run an RB26/30 with a Spool 3.4 crank, Ive talked Steve into letting us sort handling before we fit it. New Engine Package is around 900HP, As you can see Steve still has a bit to learn and we still have suspension issues so it can sit and wait. My Son Jeff Built most of the car. Some early Build pics here. http://s249.photobucket.com/albums/gg225/Stevethomas/ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/283713-spicers-cup-s13-footage/#findComment-4772967 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOT04 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 awesome driving.... nice race track, great car cant say much about the holdens and fords in the vid Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/283713-spicers-cup-s13-footage/#findComment-4774182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickR33 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 wow its pretty sorted... I don't think I saw him put on any opposite lock the whole vid... its just planted, takes the inside line entry on the corners and just hugs the apex, very impressive for a high HP RWD... makes everything else look slow!

datsit Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) Driven very well. Would be a scary car to drive. Driving it on the dyno is scary enough.

Gav Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 All co-incides when he clipped the ripple strip on the S bend. May have unsettled the car to lose traction, but looks like it may have caused the driver to give the accelerator an unintentional jab at that time. Boost obviously comes on really hard, so balancing the grip and torque in the wet would no mean feat.
