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?

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/

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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • 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.
