I have serious trouble believing the weight, mate....sorry.

I wait eagerly to be shown otherwise but I can't see a full on competition car like that being made to weigh in excess of 3100lbs on purpose?!?!?

Will look at what Mr. Moroso has to say later and post back with expected power figure.

Yeh this car/time has me suspicious since i seen it on the supraforums

in no way saying supras arent fast etc etc

but i just dont understand how it can be that fast and weight that much with only 1000hp, HKS needed to use a Twin Turbo 2x3240 V8 engine and complete weight/drag car to run a similar time

not to mention if this car is such a 'record breaker' like its been posted everywhere, then why the hell isnt there more information on it

if i built this car ide want recognition!

if all the stated information is true, then this car is truely insane and futhermore proves the strength of the 2JZ and supra in general

yeah i agree ... hks are no dumb nuts ... they know what they're doing ... i don't doubt the power of the car ... i just doubt the weight claims ... think of marios gtr ... or any drag gtr ... even think about the drag rotaries ... they do similar times ... theres no way they weight that much!!!!

Don't be thinking this car is some backyard throw together (like my cars), it's been racing for a few years. The US has a larger and more advanced drag racing market, Titan proved how much quicker you can go with an auto on their car (dropped .3 seconds(?) from mid 8's to low 8's).

The turbo is going to be the dictator with regards to horsepower, I think this car is meant to have one of the Turbonetics Thumper's on it (up to 2,000hp).

Check out the engine bay of the Titan car, notice the Wiggins clamps on the water + turbo lines ($US200+ each). That's a fair bit more "advanced" than Mario's car....

I notice the roll cage extends to the radiator support panel. This is not usually done for safety. In fact it removes the crumple zone forward of the strut towers, so would in fact decrease safety. It is usually employed when the front chassis rails and inner guards are removed, so it holds up the nose of the car. To futher support this view, looking at the LHS inner guard it appears to be heavily trimmed. Also note the apparent rearward mounting of the engine, it looks to be around 100 mm further back than standard.

I am not a drag racing expert, but I though the 3000 lb class included the driver. So that would put the car itself at around 1300 kgs. Which is about right for a lightened and fully caged Supra.

:D

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
