Ben's R32 Gtst Build

[zebra]

mmm inverted shock goodness!!!

[Roy]

Cutting the ass out of the strut tower like that isnt a no-no from a strength perspective?

[sav man]

apparently not, a r32 that races does here with 400+ rwkw has the same setup, been running for a few years now with no probs.

[Duncan]

and that car is bloody fast

[sav man]

Yeah it only laps Symmons in consistant 57 sec laps... but still 2 secs a lap away from YT and his super alfabet

time for an update. Mainly been doing odds and ends. But the engine is ready to start, it's full of oil and coolent... but i'm missing an oil drain for the turbo, so untill i get one i can't start it unless i want a big pool of oil.

I put the wing into the carbon boot.

it's getting closer to ripping a skid

[sav man]

Test fitted the exhaust, hugs the body pretty close so it shouldn't get ripped off.

Lower lip for the front bar got donated by his older brother. I had to do some trimming to fit the cooler piping.

Hopfully it should fire tomorrow

[DJRIFT]

epic sized picture fail.

[sav man]

mac fail. PC's have a porn mode now, so no reason for a mac.

anyway... got the car fired up today, no leaks thankfully. Only 1-2 things to tidy up. Not long before it'll be on the road.

[Ehgriez]

Macs have the porn mode too.

Just saying.

[sav man]

I made up the piping for the bov this weekend, just need to get it welded up now

Also heat wraped the front pipe

[DJRIFT]

that brings back memories from when i first heat wrapped that dump about 2 1/2 years ago.

[Beer Baron]

looks very nice now with the penske's in and it all pretty much done. I'm excited to see what you think after first drive. it has a lot of great ideas in it now from the ABS, to the shocks to the airbox and on and on. should be a winner.

[BOZ22N]

Is This going to be ready for TT2011? It looks the money

[sav man]

It's looking on track. Last of my intercooler piping and airbox should be welded on Tuesday. I've got a clutch line now, so I can drive it once the pipe is done.

[Beer Baron]

oooh, I'm excited for you. it should kick arse. I can't wait to hear what you think of the ABS.

[paulR32gtr]

Yesh very interested to see how this ABS goes - would love to replace my old clunker with something more effective.

[nelsonmxmarc]

Great thread! Nice to see a work in progress going as planned! Keep up the good work

[Marlin]
