saw this car numerous times at bennos when my car was being given some tlc. benno moved it outside one time and when he started it i got half a stiffy and nearly wet my pants at the same time.......... NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot express how impressed I am with this entire build, the attention to detail is out of this world. I can appreciate how much work has gone into a project like this.

I could only wish that my R32 would one day look like this..

Good job....

One of a kind car...

Update!!

It has been way too long. Infact I forgot I had a build thread at all lol.

Since the last post we reached a significant milestone. We continued to develop the setup on the car and have achieved a 1:16.6 at Sandown in August 2010. Video link here

This was an indication that we can generate serious speed out of a RWD platform and we had achieved our goals of beating the AWD GTR's around Sandown.

There has also been the introduction of Time Attack in Australia with the continual development of the Superlap/World Time Attack series. I see this a the natural playing field for my car which is now commonly referred to as Big Red.

This has led to a aerodynamasist coming on board by the name of Andrew Brilliant. Andrew has had a key role in many of the world leading time attack cars such as the Scorch Racing S15 and more recently the ground breaking Project Nemo Evo. Andrew has developed a package for Big Red. It consists of some small but sophisticated changes that we are about to test. The car now looks radically different to the original post in this topic.

The major changes in the setup are:

Lamborghini GT3 rear wing

Custom front diffuser

V mount radiator and intercooler setup

Bonnet vent

Custom front guards

Custom front bar

Weight reduction

Custom loom

Here are some pics of the current state.

We are 6 weeks away from WTAC 2012 to be held at Eastern Creek 10 August. We are testing the setup for the first time this weekend at Philip Island. The aim is to achieve top 5 in open class at WTAC. I will keep you posted via the forum and Facebook which has since become mainstream since the beginning of this build thread.

I invite you all to like the Big Red Facebook Page http://www.facebook.com/TeamBigRed to stay tuned to pics, vid and our progress.

A very big thanks must go out to;

Wow what a weekend!

Phillip Island was cold and wet at times but perfect turbo weather, Day 1 was full of dramas from constantly overheating to massive understeer. We managed a 1.49 which was 3 seconds faster than the cars previous PB and Phillip Island. This was a step in the right direction but with the Chasers Time Attack Evo getting round in 1.44's we were way off the pace.

Day 2. We started cutting out the front bar opening to try and get control of our engine temps. Some suspension changes and aero changes started getting the car more balanced but a brake issue has now started to give us trouble where the car just doesn't want to pull up on the slower corners and in pinching tyres. With the car now staying cool and the car more balanced we were now able to cut some laps and work on that time. The Chasers Evo continued to develop and they managed a PVB of 1.40.5. After a few more adjustments we went out and gave it a red hot go. We managed 1.40.3 This was a massive 9 seconds faster than the previous day and 12 seconds faster then the cars previous PB. We were very happy and have plenty more adjustments to make to make that will only move us in the right direction.

Here is a video of the lap

Here is a video of my mucking around in the wet

Car looks great and thats some ridiculous lap times you are doing there

Your aero looks a lot more timmid compared to a few other Time Attack contenders.

Is this the final aero or is it still being developed?

[Adz]

Its what you can't see that is the biggest aero component. There is a little more to come. All the aero should be all done by the end of next week.
