Thoughts On Na Track Car

[Tektrader69]

Mini's fall over all the time.

So many nice toys on MY105.

If I had my time again before I started building the Zed. AND could lose 25KG, I would have one of these.

F3 cars with you losing 25kg's,,,,you still won't fit tiger,,,drivers need to be no more than 70 mate with a small arse.

News Flash,,,the Mini Cup finishes this weekend,,,wonder whats going to happen with the cars???.

NA cars are only there for the biggest revheads who have $$$ or motorsport.

NA would mostly be used in motor sport for class restrictions as a forced induction would make you play with the big boys.

but still, it would be fun building a nice NA car, but unless you have a spare 30k for a proper engien setup, id say no.

my dad built his own beetle when he was an apprentice, the old 1000cc bug, he raised compression only and used harder springs, he was pushing 140bhp with a comp ratio of 13.5:1.

a nice NA car would be a TNT King Viper.

But actually, i remember a guy a couple fo years back, who had alot of cash, back in germany on the forums , who modified his golf mk2 16v engine, he removed of his cams and replaced it with electronic lifters, rebuilt his head to run 14:1 compression and whole heap more, he managed to pull out a max of 340hp.

i guess the best NA car out there, ever to be built, are M-Power cars, if you want to go all out a e30 m3 would be the best, cant beat that. or if you have lots of cash and no worries, buy a M1

im currently building a mk2 golf, with a bit of NA tuning and hoping to hit the 180-200hp

Is it not back next year Neil?

My S13 was NA when i got it.

Made about 120rwkw and was completely stripped.

It was fun, I really enjoyed driving it and pissing off the turbo boys when i posted quicker times than they did.

Totally reliable as well. No maintenance required between track days, it didn't use brake pads, it didn't cook the oil, unlike my previous skyline.

The only problem i found was on a regular track day the heros wouldn't get out of the way and i didn't have the power to get past them on the straights. I could be fair up their arse from the first to the last corner, but they'd pull 10+ car lengths on me down the straight....Not a major issue, but when you spend every second lap dropping back far enough to have a clean run it gets pretty frustrating.

No mate it's all over red rover. It was costing way to much money. Apparently some marketing nood at BMW/Mini thought it would make money,,,alas he learned a valueable lesson didn't he.

Mini's have an achelles heal,,,they run that stupid twin mass flywheel and a crappy clutch combo. Alajajian was telling me they would change or at least check the whole assembly after every race meeting. Would be a great track car with simply getting that crap sorted.

Cheers

They are moving to Suzuki Swifts for next year from what I hear, No where near as cool as the Minis lol

I'm currantly in the process of thinking of building a Datsun 510 with an NA SR20! 180kw in an under 1000kg car! should do some fair good times!??

That's a shame, I really liked the Mini's as a support category. Quite good racing and pretty cool looking little things.

It will bevery interesting to see how much they come up at. I agree, I think they'd make a great track car with proven ability and already setup and raring to go.

Ahhh yep, I saw one on my105. Hopefully still some good racing.

Very cool! S15 Autech engine?

[No Crust Racing]

You'd have to think so.

What's required to get 180kw out of an NA SR?

I'm assuming you mean 180 at the fly wheel and not at the wheels.
