Prestige Motorsport Time Attack Build

[Risking]

Alot of people from here would know Steven and his bussiness Prestige Motorsport based in Landsvale. Steven has long been a supporter of the SAU NSW club and alot of members have had repairs done by him.

Late last year a decission was made to build an S15 which was sitting around into a time attack racer and have a crack at world time attack. At the time the idea was to put together a fairly basic car and get it circulating. However since missing out this year the car took another direction and has turned into more of a full on assault for time attack with a bare chassis rebuild now underway.

The car has been gutted back to a bare shell and has had a comprehensive cage done myself, the cage is still ever changing and some more front end work in now being designed.

Mick and the guys at micks motorsport are putting together a potent little SR20VET engine for the car which will be using one of the lattest precision turbos.

The SR20 will be having a dry sump conversion and fuel system composing of only the best commponents that Peterson and Weldon racing pumps has to offer.

The chassis after being stripped down is now being seam welded through out and having all and any unrequired material removed, All steel pannels removed, inner skins, boot flooring, seat pans etc

Any thing required will or has been fabricated using thin alloy or carbon sheet.

The suspension is undergoing a major overhaul. We have begun the design and fabrication of new subframes incorporating a front macpherson strut as per the Superlap rules, however with much improved and unhindered geometry changes, the rear will retain an OEM type shock but also be subjected to 4130 molly subframes with revised geometry, new uprights and an improved control arm layout

Jonothan at heasmans suspension has come to the party with some top shelf Bilsteins which have already been valved and dynoed to give us a good starting point for the new geometry.

Steven has supplied a full set of AP racing calipers with matching rotors and a pedal box to be fitted.

The body itself is currently a work in progress by the guys at Prestige motorsport, once completed Dean at Thomas fiberglass in moorebank will be moulding all the pannels and laying us a full set of light weight carbon pannels to use.

So far there are alot of companies onboard to assist with building such as car, Without them it wouldnt be possible to get the expertise together in one car.

So on behalf of Prestige motorsport at this point in time we'd like to already thank

Mick and all the guys at Micks motorsport

Jospeh and Dean at revolution race gear auburn

Steve Sinclair and all the guys at Earls Plumbing silverwater

Matt at race brakes wetheril park

Darren at macaurthur auto electrical Campbeltown

Geoff Nicol at competition components international Perth

Jonothan from Heasmons suspension for the bilstein shocks (they are a really nice bit of gear)

Stuart at Performance metals windsor (These guys get me out of ALOT of trouble when I forget to order more chromolly tube and I needed 20 lengths the day before I call them up)

Mike from williams race services somewhere in QLD (never been there he delivers)

Seriously already the list could go on but we will continue to mention people who assist with the car as the build continues

Hopefully we can keep the thread updated as another time attack car comes together. For the time being here is a few photos of the chassis as it sits right now.

There is loads more to come for this one.......

Not tubbing the front end for more rubber?

[MBS206]

I like this car... Looked at it many a time while in the workshop...

Got my photos?

Hell yes. There is a mountain of work planned for the frontend. New wheel arches are one thing that will be mandatory due to the new ride height
