Hey ppls.

Well, it has finally come down to it and I need to sell my pride and joy.

You all know how much I love my car, and I make this decision with a heavy heavy heart. :laugh:

It has been serviced every 5k-7.5k kilometers and every 10-15ks I change all fluids, including diff and gearbox.

So you can see I've spent around $16k building a tough car.

I'm sure that I've spent more, and I'll add things I've done at the thread grows if required.

As you can see from the graph below, it's a solid performer.

Achievements

Dyno

250 rwkw, Race Pace Dyno (Chart Below)

It's a solid performer and will have a tune refresh before sale after I fixed the wastegate the other day.

Quarter Mile

12.9 @ 113 mph. The car is good for mids 12s with the right rubber.

Track

Winton

1.45:4 (when it had 200rwkw)

DECA, well, you know how it goes at DECA.

Will come with Road Worthy Certificate.

Price

$34,000

This price is very reasonable for a car with the amount of work which mine has had put into it.

I wash and was it regluarly, I drive it very sedatly on the roads, infact I've never gotten a speeding fine in this car.

Nothing has been left to chance on this car. If I though it needed something new, I just went and bought it. If something wore out, or needed replacing, I replaced it with the best.

Try to build it cheaper........

NO Test Pilots.

NOBODY will be driving my car until I see a deposit.

I will take you on as many drives as you want, but until you are going to front with the money, there will be no piloting.

Bass has managed to sort out his finances.

Bass keeps his car.

Bass will be throwing down slide and rubber for many events to come!

(voice of austin powers) Yeah baby YEAH!

Good to hear mate, :D that's a pretty big scare to have.

Smell your burning tyres at a meet soon!

Sorry for the hijack, but Bass, did you mention in ur list that your clutch cost you only $400???? What sort of clutch is that and where u got that price from?!?!? that's cheap as for a pull type clutch

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
