I find it hard to believe that you've been able to do so much, basically like rebuild an entire car, in what seems to be a very short time frame.

Car projects seem to take forever, so this must have been very well researched and managed.

Fantastic effort all round, and thanks Mark for sharing.

Good luck next week, and I'm looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.

My son will be out there in an STi in the clubsprint class, but you're in another league.

Should be a great event, and hopefully a big crowd.

Hello Brian. When is Jim back and are you going to start some mods on yours yet?

Cheers

Marty

Anyone else notice that it hits 242km/h on the straight!

Yeah I took note of the 220km/h across the line (a good reference point for me).

Regarding the understeer issues - looks to me like it could run a fair chunk more front track under those big guards. But you've prob thought of that. I imagine there is no track width restrictions on WTAC ?

We have only spent 4 months on the car, used over 1200 man hours and many many late nights and weekends to get the car to where it is now. I think the whole Mercury Motorsport team is looking forward to WTAC, so we can have a break from working on Mark's R35! :P

It has been a massive effort and I am extremely proud of the team, including our external contractors, who have pulled of what I think is an amazing build in such a short period of time.

Just thought of something with such wild bodywork, how will you be bringing it down here? Getting it on most normal car trailers would surely be out of the question unless the front and rear bars/aero is designed to come off for transport?

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By R3N3 · Posted

      Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
