have you guys seen these things???

to quote the website: they run a Yamaha 1200cc four cylinder 16 valve twin-cam engine producing 125bhp with integral close ratio straight cut gear sequential dog engagement gearbox.

and they only weigh 450 kg!! :eek:

my friend's brother has just bought one...he's going up next week to get the car and some training from Phil Ward, the guy who's behind these things.

The car itself cost him around 32K, but he's looking for sponsorship...he's sent a proposal to Shell (umm yeah the company, not me :D ) to paint it up like a Shell Helix car, but hasn't heard anything yet.

apparently he will pay around $450 to race in a round. That includes his pit, and passes for his pit crew (ie mates!!) for the weekend.

His first race will be Wakefield and the end of Sept apparently.

I think I'm gonna go up and watch, these things look cool! I wanna see them on the track :D

They were on the power tour until it went under the other week, I last heard they were looking at sticking commonwhore or falcon front ends on them and supporting the supercars.

There was one running at Wakefield on the last UAS track day back in April- pretty quick little cars.

      Chips/Dents in wheels

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      By djvoodoo · Posted

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.
