So how is everyones cars coming along? I've made a lot of changes to my car in the search for speed.

The latest update is fitting 18x10.5in TE37 SL's under my little GTSt. I'll be running 265 tyres all round to try and handle the new grunt from an RB25.

For those that are interested. Here is my build thread

i had a mate that was keen to drive at SL but aparently the entries were filled in hours.

never mind.

its good to see a motorsport even filling the openings.

Same. was hoping to have the car ready in about another month but given the entry list filled in hours we were way off beam.

Will still spectate though. Awesome event.

[handbrake]

plenty of work to do

[FineLine]

A saturday arvo and a cuppla cartons will take care of that Mark.

[benm]

weight saving to the extreme...

[Russman]

Wow Mark. Plenty of work ahead.. What class are you in?

[handbrake]

Pro class.

no I don't have tickets on myself, just how it is.

My god! Is that your road car or a second shell? Either way that is cooool. They are such good things in basic tune there seems to be a lack of seriously gutted and modded examples around! Real curious to know how much of their weight is all the doo-dahs electric things and how much is simple meat in the chassis?!?!

[handbrake]

thats my second car, a JDM we picked up cheap.

we cant confidently dissect the wiring loom which is enormous and heavy, nor delete any computers. the essential components of chasis engine and tranny arent light.

hope to get down to 1500kg depending on cage. stock is about 1730kg

[Marlin]

^^^^^ that's the experience we had when building Giant's too..... Anything we could actually remove didn't weigh anything, and the things we though we could get away with removing sent it into shock.

The body itself is extremely strong and stiff, and are built quite different to anything I've seen.

[Roy]

Do what the yanks do. Rip out the loom, all the thingies and just throw a sprint car V8 with Jerico 4-spd in 'er yo!

Should buy an Infiniti Indy Car Turbo V8 and slap one in.....

[zebra]

So for once I paid attention to all the Face book spam Superlap sends out lol

Reckon It will do any good?

Will be fast in a straight line...but it may take flight by the end of the main straigh

[Russman]

Unless they get some more tyre under that thing it will be fail. EC needs a lot of mid corner grip. Not sure that thing will have much at all...

[femno]

Waste of time if you ask me.

We all know VLs dont turn corners.

GT42 on a 'circuit build'. Yeah nice one!

pfffft

[R31Nismoid]

GT42 on a 'circuit build'. Yeah nice one!

Same thing I thought incidentally with 600rwkw dyno pony...

Put a GT35 on it, then there would be interesting... If you can keep it pointed in the general direction of forward of course

It will have weight advantage on it's side though to be fair. It's a SL or similar so IIRC they are around 1250-1280 stock which isn't bad. Final weight would be interesting with the heavy Ford 9" but reduced fuel tank etc.

[benm]

about 5 seconds slower a lap than the ford turbo of last year...

[Evocoop]

The VL should be entertaining at least. Actually keen to see what happens.
