Idea's For A Time Attack Car

[dmac_25]

Yeah I seen his build years back what he is selling it for is pretty cheap for what he wants.

Budget would be what ever the parts costs can build engine tune it on the dyno weld up a cage and do all the work

[zebra]

The problem is anything quick in Time Attack wont be legal to run in IPRA or Prod Sports or Targa tas etc

anything turbo in IPRA costs Squillions to even make the top 10 of a state round.

If you ask me I can't justify spending $200k on a car that will be used once a year and needs the likes of John Boston/Tarzan Yamada to be driven quick.

But if thats what you want then an EVO is the only real choice for time attack stuff (you don't want to know how much has been spent on the Cusco WRX)

[dmac_25]

The more I look into it following the trend with an evo seems to be the only option to tick all boxes.

Even if you didn't race the car in ipra the car would be built for it.

Did some research on increasing a 4g63 capacity and found some nice info on bringing them out to 2.6 with a BC kit and a 4g64 block.

Evo 5 are pretty cheap these days as well.

Yeah it's a bit disappointing the cusco wrx and it's numbers.

Will have to upgrade the dyno to awd tho with an evo

What about an S-Chassis with AWD. Say S14 with GTR running gear!

Didn't FullRace build one in the USA for time attack? Interesting to hear how it went against EVO's and the like.

Just as heavy as a GTR

[nismoman]

Then go full house S-Chassis with SR23VET simliar to Scorch S15.

I still think it didn't go close to it's potential at this years event. Plenty more to come and was fastest Nissan there.

Added piccy cause everyone loves looking at hot nissan racecars!!!

If you want to be competitive in Superlap, you need to get this idea completely out of your head, unless you're thinking of Clubsprint class.

Hard to take you seriously if you think that's a good idea, if you want AWD it makes sense in every way to stay with a factory AWD.

There is a GTR that people are mad for not running. And its no Nissan

Not sure Ultimas and their like are legal even for pro class? Although the rules are so open to interpretation who knows.

[Roy]

If the thing is in Open class and registered I would love to hear the argument that it is not allowed to run when you look around and if you check build tags can find FIA GT3 cars and GT300 cars

[mattah]

Next step, Dauer 962.

Pretty sure they draw the line at tube frame chassis though, so the Ultima is out on that basis.

[mattah]

Ahhh here we go:

• No Open Wheel vehicles, Clubman or Kit cars allowed, as determined by the Promoter.

Ultima is a kit car, therefore out. You could maybe make a case for the Dauer though, although the "Promoter" might not like it.

[Roy]

Put an Advan sticker on it and I suspect the promoter will be fine...considering following are cars already running...

[mattah]

What I love best is the way they retain just enough of the stock OEM shock tower to be within the rules, and then don't even use them..

[nismoman]

Well the rules say, "must retain standard shock tower", says nothing about using them.

Seriously, I'm curious as to what the prize money for winning Superlap/WTAC is outright?

Would it be more than winning an Aust. Champ Sports Sedan Championship? Do they have prize money?

Do sports sedans even have prize money State or National level?

Maybe it's for no money, and just for the glory....

[Marlin]

Berry's thing doesn't utilize it's front towers either. Nothing new there.....

[dmac_25]

I'm also starting to lean to an S chassis as well considering how well they went as well.

The main thing would be to try get it nice and low in its curb weight and enough power.

Would like to run a vh45 in it been in the process of building a sc kit with a m122 would give nice low down drive out and if what people are saying they weigh they are about 150 pounds lighter then an RB if the weights are correct

[zebra]

VH/Vk motors are very tall and wide.

Best bet would be a 6L LS2

[dmac_25]

No way I could put a chev in just isn't in me
