I am very interested, but would like to see a picture of it on a car to be sure.

Dont take this the wrong way, but what is the quality of the bar like? My car is beeing painted by one of the top (most fussy) painters in SA, and if it dose not sit in correctly, or isnt straight he wont touch it. (dont want to waste your time and money shipping it back to you)

I am going to pair it up with an impule bodykit, but I am unable to get a front bar at the moment (nor for the forseeable future), hence the need to look at alternatives.

PS what would it cost to ship it to Adelaide? (in the next week (2 weeks at the most))

My car is in pieces at the moment (and has been for 8months) and wedged in a corner, so you wouldn't see much.

As for the aero dynamics, the bar is designed to give a good amount of front downforce, and is also designed to go with the carbon fibre cannards we are currently finishing off.

The bar is also designed around a 600x300 intercooler, so you can receive maximum flow.

i just wanted to know where u tested its aerodynamics. as to do this properly you would need to put it on a car then put it thru a wind tunnel you would also have to put the original car in a wind tunnel to see the differences in downfoce. Only monash clayton has these facilities in australia. the wind tunnel their goes to 200 km/hr. and its very expensive to hire...

dont want to start a nerd-fight in someone elses thread - but you sir, are a goon!

No we have not tested the bar for exact aero dynamic properties. As I said we have "designed" it to give a greater amount of front down force, using the wing shapes on either side of the bar, and as I mentioned before, with the optional carbon fibre canards.

If someone on here wants to know the drag coefficeint of the car before and after the kit, they would be hard pressed to find it for any kit. This factor will also change for most cars at any rate, as it depends on may other factors as well, including ride height, and the other aero parts they have fitted to their car.

This said, most people buy body kits for purely cosmetic reasons. We are offering an alternative to the limited range of R33 kits available in Australia. There are very few companies in Australia producing NEW stuff. If you like it that's good, if you don't that's fine too. We are just offering you guy's another choice.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
