fark that car is outrageously quick if it only has 650hp...good work! its abolsutely killing those cars on the straights and still going thru the corners well.

well driven too

do you have more specs/info/pics of the car?

[N I B]

I think Power figures are Over quoted in Australia. The Dyno says more but the Turbo wont flow more than 650fwhp, Thats why I quoted the more real figure. The Engine ia an RB25, Stock head with Poncams, Greddy intake,6Boost manifold, Wolf V500 ECU, GT35 with small exhaust housing, CP pistons and Rev rods,All About 4 years old now, It started out in Hill climbs/Speedevents Also.Uses KW Coil overs and Arizona Zcar Willwood brakes, PPG gearbox

When we get the chassis right we will run an RB26/30 with a Spool 3.4 crank, Ive talked Steve into letting us sort handling before we fit it.

New Engine Package is around 900HP, As you can see Steve still has a bit to learn and we still have suspension issues so it can sit and wait.

My Son Jeff Built most of the car.

Some early Build pics here. http://s249.photobucket.com/albums/gg225/Stevethomas/

[phunky_monkey]

Me too, awesome machine!

Can I ask who makes the front end? Or did you guys have it made yourselves?

[nismoman]

Excellent job and well constructed car. Very professional. Congrats to your son for building such a nice car.

I'm very jealous!!!!!

[N I B]

My son and my self do the build, Steve (Driver) does the Fiberglass and paint.

[phunky_monkey]

Thanks for the info. Does Steve work for/own Thomascraft?

[N I B]

No, He just had a go at the Glass and it worked ok.

[phunky_monkey]

I think it turned out well, nice job.

awesome driving.... nice race track, great car

cant say much about the holdens and fords in the vid

[NickR33]

wow its pretty sorted... I don't think I saw him put on any opposite lock the whole vid... its just planted, takes the inside line entry on the corners and just hugs the apex, very impressive for a high HP RWD... makes everything else look slow!

Race 2s crash, Huge Slicks and rain= Bad news.

Got 4 weeks to fix it.

jesus, i was horrified the whole first video at the drivers grip on the steering wheel

the second video just showed me why!

[evil_weevil]

Ouch!!!

[N I B]

Slicks and rain didnt help.

[datsit]

Driven very well. Would be a scary car to drive. Driving it on the dyno is scary enough.

All co-incides when he clipped the ripple strip on the S bend. May have unsettled the car to lose traction, but looks like it may have caused the driver to give the accelerator an unintentional jab at that time.

Boost obviously comes on really hard, so balancing the grip and torque in the wet would no mean feat.

[N I B]

Lost grip on the wet white paint on slicks Steve thinks.
