So how is everyones cars coming along? I've made a lot of changes to my car in the search for speed.

The latest update is fitting 18x10.5in TE37 SL's under my little GTSt. I'll be running 265 tyres all round to try and handle the new grunt from an RB25.

For those that are interested. Here is my build thread

i had a mate that was keen to drive at SL but aparently the entries were filled in hours.

never mind.

its good to see a motorsport even filling the openings.

Same. was hoping to have the car ready in about another month but given the entry list filled in hours we were way off beam.

Will still spectate though. Awesome event.

My god! Is that your road car or a second shell? Either way that is cooool. They are such good things in basic tune there seems to be a lack of seriously gutted and modded examples around! Real curious to know how much of their weight is all the doo-dahs electric things and how much is simple meat in the chassis?!?!

thats my second car, a JDM we picked up cheap.

we cant confidently dissect the wiring loom which is enormous and heavy, nor delete any computers. the essential components of chasis engine and tranny arent light.

hope to get down to 1500kg depending on cage. stock is about 1730kg

^^^^^ that's the experience we had when building Giant's too..... Anything we could actually remove didn't weigh anything, and the things we though we could get away with removing sent it into shock. :)

The body itself is extremely strong and stiff, and are built quite different to anything I've seen.

So for once I paid attention to all the Face book spam Superlap sends out lol

Reckon It will do any good?

Will be fast in a straight line...but it may take flight by the end of the main straigh

GT42 on a 'circuit build'. Yeah nice one!

Same thing I thought incidentally with 600rwkw dyno pony...

Put a GT35 on it, then there would be interesting... If you can keep it pointed in the general direction of forward of course :D

It will have weight advantage on it's side though to be fair. It's a SL or similar so IIRC they are around 1250-1280 stock which isn't bad. Final weight would be interesting with the heavy Ford 9" but reduced fuel tank etc.

    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy. 
    • Welcome.  Was the mistake the car, or joining us? 😏
    • Yeap, was me and the daughter getting coffee before heading to the new joint to measure up the fridge space and taking some pics that the solar installer wanted of the switch board
