Got to say, that tail wing looks massive!!!!

Also, from the design, it looks like ur using 2 pipe exhaust instead of the normal 4 ones. Any reason y?

Love the images of both race R35 builds in QLD seemingly taking place in sheds, how Australian

Maybe the Gov't can use it as an example of what can be built in a shed (http://www.mensshed.org)

Hi Eric,

yes the wing is massive but it is CFD tested by Scott Beeton. The plates (we will have spares) will be trimmed and tuned at the track test days. the front canards really arent a true representation of what they will look like as they are quite intricate and indeed also quite large.

the front carbon bumper is down in sydney with the carbon fabricators getting the pieces made and a fair amount of work will be involved in getting the front wings to secure to the car given the levels of downforce applied to them and the larger front splitter.

the exhaust will acually only be a single exit. it is for weight savings and reduced resistance/increased flow

lol, some of mankind's best work has taken place in sheds. though Luke's fabrication shed (one of the three sheds in the mercury complex) now has a lot of very cool toys at his disposal for these kind of jobs

Ah!! ok. Thanks for filling me up with so much info

Tight fit with the AMS alpha 10 kit

Engine back in

Gearbox and rear end dummy fitted so we can fabricate the custom fuel tank

Rear of car looks very mean!!

AP J hook rotors front and rear

AMS heat sheilds look right at home

ATI damper will help us nudge up the rev limit safely.

Very tight clearances for intercooler piping. We actually had to modify the alpha 10 turbo kit to accomodate the RHD car.

tight, very tight

[MercuryMotorsport]

So tight in fact you need to change some of the bolts on the chassis rail to button heads for some clearance!

Lol I see you bought the ati branded damper and not boost logic's GTR tax'd rebadge

Forums do work sometimes

You may have seen this already, but I thought it might interest you.

ah looks good. Is the carbon fibre dash lighter then the factory one? I haven't been on the inside of a 35 so i have no idea what all the dash is made of. Does look pretty damn cool though.

Considering the extent of the build, the time and expense making a custom carbon dash would be one hell of a waste if it wasn't lighter!
