My jaw literally just dropped when I saw the above photo! :)

That is INSANE!!! :(

*edit, just read the last page.

mmm rx photos! that 787b monster would be incredible to hear and see it in the flesh. err metal.

As for pissing off the neighbours.. 3 weeks or so ago I had dog shit thrown at my garage door and squished under the roller door and into the handle/lock :) haha ratbags, I will be getting them back as I know who they are (have complained a numerous times :dry: ) its not like i sit and rev the car at 2am and hoon in my street (there are lots of kids that play in my street)

Last encounter I had with them they said they are going to report me to the epa, I said go ahead take my rego and pointed to and empty space where my licence plate should be. (its a track car, no rego) they wern't very amused haha

Im thinking about shitting in their letterbox.

the pan speed car is a winner for sure. but that thing is so farking loud. even for a rotor it's mental. I remember seeing it at tsukuba and I thought I'd watch one session from up in the stands. the whole stand literally shook as it came around and I was deaf for about 2 days. a hot japanese girl asked me if I wanted a blow job and I said no thanks cause I thought she said 'get a real job'... the only jap circuit car I've heard that's as loud is the tracey sports nsx. I swear those two cars are not just running without mufflers, they must have added some kind of 'loudener'.

many moons ago when I was living at home some cops came round one Sat arvo...

I walk outside to see them inspecting my old 33... started to chat to them and apparently a neighbour had dobbed us in as we had a loud car that was waking them up in the morning... I asked them what time and they said approx 5:30am... There was no way it was me as I never get up that early so I took them out the back to show them my dad's old Alfa Giulia GTC... they just laughed and asked to hear it... I gave it a few revs for them and they said nice car and left promptly lol... that car is seriously loud, I did used to feel a bit sorry for the neighbours! lol made my 33 sound positively quiet in comparison :)

Ha - and you guy laughed at my 20B......

S12 Gazelle makes slow progress:

After getting it back from the workshop to have a seized pinion bearing (scary at 80kph on the road) - The live rear axle and locka is coming out and a full R32 IRS with LSD is going in.

Brand new KKK K26 turbo is on - The K27 was tooooo big - bogged down cause no boost between gears

I should be on the track soon.

Whats the deal with track days these days ?

How much is the Super G in the UK?

20k makes me think i should just pony up the cash. LOl only i have no idea how bad a T88 13B would be. If it had a T67 i woudl seriously buy it for my trip to Spa and the Ring in 3 weeks.

You just need to convince Snowie that we are better then a 50:50 of the car lasting 3 days :P

Going against it are the std rebuild 13B. Spacers on the rims and seemingly absence of an oil cooler. Oh, and its only running 8psi so lag, lag, lag then fark all up top with only 8psi. But fark it would still sound cool and looks wild! As is 15K so i have a few bob to throw a smaller GT35R or something on it

This one is the better buy and safer bet it woudl last 3 days of track driving and some fun cruising through on awesoem roads...but, of course it is considerably more money, enough to rule it out.

Well I can't back you up mate as my 13B wouldn't last 3 days on the street without braking down on me! :P But that was a dodgy tune/injectors so I don't blame the engine itself.

How much power is it making with the 8psi? Stock rebuilt 13B inside?

I thik it would be awesome, but yeah, to be on the safe side the rental may be the go especially if you're flying from OZ. But I'd still buy it if I were you! :P But I did buy a 550hp RX-7 as my daily within 3 months of getting my licence, so I wouldn't listen to me.

I can't believe you looking at RX7s troy. don't tell me i've been a good influence with all my talk of how long my RX7 has been between engine swaps? yeah I reckon it'll last 3 days of you and snowclown. you're both pretty soft really. the T-hachi-hachi would be pretty gay though unless you can crank the boost to about 25psi and the rev limit to about 10,000rpm. in that case make sure you ask for the first lap as that's about all you'll get! it will leave 2 nice black lines all the way round the ring. and another thin brown line all the way around your ring....

S14 is probably a safe bet. but the SR20 is not exactly the powerhouse of reliability either and an S2000 is an awesome engine wrapped in a massively camp car. perfect for you 2 fun boys to get around in with the top down looking like a pair of gay german tourists in town for a nambla convention. nothing is camper than two blokes in a convertible. it might get you back to dance central in hamburg in time to see kraftwerk. just mind the cd stacker in ein trunk dumpkopf.

just take over your bigger TD06 set-up in hand luggage and chuck that on the RX7. nice punchy 250rwkw it will be good.

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
