Can we have stockest looking OMGWTF power making car?

I have a sneaking suspicion I know which car will take that one out,but feel free to better the effort! So far,from a local car,549 AWKW is the mark to beat from something v. neat,v. tidy and v. streetable IMHO. Go stealth!

If your talking about JUN I wouldn't call that a street car.

Define street car.Anything turn key reliable,able to make such a figure on pump fuel,can run to the shops and back without fouling plugs or overheating,of reasonably legal ride height,able to contain more than one person...dunno;missed anything else?

Yes but does it actually do all those things I wouldn't think so.

Street car in theory, yeah ok - but in reality I doubt it sees the street that much.

It's a beautiful car I would probably do the same.

It does do those things,and then some. At some stages it's daily driven to work and parked outside with the nasty weather and all ;) ...so,in my eyes,it's open to that particular award of 'normal looking,BIG power'. Although,in fairness,CEF11E said even standard looking when you pop the bonnet,so the cars I've been thinking of would lose out on that count.

There's a few other cars with slightly less(and one with more)power that could be nominated,but they'd either be too showy from either the outside or under the bonnet for the stealth idea,but there's many other suggested brackets they could be placed in...

I'm more ticked off that my car is not further down the build process to be able to be seen... :) Then again,those that know it already know where I'm heading :) !

Here's what 460+ AWKW looks like without high mount twins or a big single...Unfortunately,it's not an ACT SAU'er,but from the outside is a very(VERY) neat 32 without the bling most people put on their rides.

Just thought I'd post up a nice piccie for some inspiration... :)

I know where yours is heading Jayce, but I dont know if you'll have it all done by the end of this year...

But incase you do, we'll have a 32 V-spec2 with pearl paint and big power category just for you. :teehee:

Well anywho, thanks for the enthusiasm guys, I hope we'll get this off the ground for next year cos I'll definatly be entering the best 32 Gtst category!

I know who gets my vote for the biggest power in the non skyline bracket. And it is a true ACT built and tuned car and thats ESP with their WRX 515kw and BMW with a supra engine 530kw. Maybe you could have price brackets aswell as most people don't have an open cheque book for what it takes to pay someone to build them a 500kw plus car with all the goodies.

Thanks for the pics of Paul and Staceys car Jayce. Still reckon you can't beat the twins for the street.

In agreeance there;massive performance from Dan' and Glenn's stable! And yes,P + S's 32 is one of my all time faves! Hence why I'm sticking with twins!

The unlimited vs limited budget idea is taken on board,too!

Cheers,J;have a top New Years!

      I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol

      It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.

      I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility

      I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...

      Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something
