lol, there's a hole in that housing where the port should be mate... hehe. that will be nice. should slot those housings into my road car...

Selling her? Any particular reason? Shame, the thing looked to be a decent little bus, and no doubt well driven.

No particular reason mate, and once push comes to shove might not be able to actually go through with it. But I'm feeling it's time to maybe take a break and show my little lady the attention she deserves. She's missed out on alot over the years due to me going racing.

That porting is massive. Should sound very nice indeed!

It's getting there Scott, hopefully driveable by Monday. I haven't got the dash done yet as a few things have gone over budget, so once that' all sorted I'll pull it out and get it flocked.

I even like the uras type lights on this one where they are covered. it would probably help the aero a bit as without that nice smooth cover it would for sure create drag or turbulence.

says the man with the Stack dash!:)

I'm jealous... I like shiny stuff...

Haha that was in the budget... but a few thousand other things weren't! :(

I think you're right Richard, and it's something I've thought about, but I just don't like the covered ones so I'm not doing it by convincing myself the open ones make for a great ram air intake :P But I should really do it, so I might when I have some more money and can do the aero stuff I want.

Chris: I'm sure some companies would

dunoo, will have to ask him. Maybe google the name above the door if you can make it out.

also, bought this from Revzone in melb.

it's funny looking at that porsche it just screamed american to me. I know it's LHD but that's not the give away. it's the cage design. the side intrusion design to be specific. so american. they all seem to do it that way with the ladder type side intrusion. I guess it's come because oval racing is their premier tin top racing and that cage design filters down to other categories. you would never see one like that in aus in any category. except benms lone nascup car which of course was US built or at least designed.

any particular reason why oval guys use that style?

It looks like the ultimate in side impact protection. As Zebra suggests American oval racing has far greater likelihood of high speed side impatcs.

Speedway in Aus requires that design, obviously a hand-me-down from the states oval racing regs.

Just picked up this for a fun track day project:

Will be set up for drift or circuit with fun being the key word, times coming second.

Coming up will be a heavily modified N/A 4AGE. Not too sure yet how I will swing it but I think lightweight forged internals, larger cams, light ported head, bumped up compression ratio, twin weber's in an alloy air ducting enclosure (gogo cad skills!), MSD electronics and a few other bits and pieces.

Suspension wise I am not to sure... More research will need to be done!

    • 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?
