He would know better then anyone being the owner. The question is whether he really wants people to know how much its cost. I know when I dream up muy ultimate Exige etc

Gearbox 35k + setup and clutches and paddle shift...so more like 50k

Engine 30k

Suspension and brakes 20k

Diffs and wheels/tyres - 10k

Data Logging and electronics - 20k

The good gear means the cost goes through the roof very quick

all teh fancy dry carbon and molds would be worth a bomb

Yeh, some numbers I heard for a carbon rear diffuser and bar was 20-30K not including the plug. So there would be loads of hours in the plug to make that a pretty scary number for about a 1/4 of the cars aero

Either way...they built a weapon of a car and its his money so good luck to him. I know if I had the same opportunity I would build my car for me and probably wouldnt let on what it cost. But from what I had read he has been very open about the build process so good on him. I have changed my tune :whistling:

I thought the golden rule was to never add up what we spend on modifications !

Being able to build the car of your dreams without concern for the cost is a pretty cool place to be. Got to respect the passion to chase the dream.

Only 250k?

Cummmon.... 2 or was it 3 engines down before racing even started has gotta give you a nice starter :P

They only blew one engine there big dollar overseas built engine

The engine they ran was actually bought from chasers motor works which was their spare

Serious it was a Chasers engine? I thought I read somewhere that it was a Nitto stroker kit which was assembled by JHH including all the head work

Was in the garage next to chasers and one of them let it slip when nemo blitzd a time

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
