Thank so much guys! This has really helped me out a lot. I just updated my build thread in my sig if you want want to see what ive been up to.

The airborne bit was fun :) the landing... not so much..

It was mostly superficial damage, the wheel movement was cause but the camber bolts loosening on impact. quite lucky in the end.

With this sort of stuff, people(me) have no idea what it takes to get this sort of a car going.

What about a parts "wish list"

like..... tyres x 3 = $400

Good question.

I don't know what James is up for but this is a typical, budget cost for an event:

License $100-$400

Entry $200-500

Tyres $300-500ea. So $1200-$4000 depending on which tyre and if you can afford 2 sets.

Fuel $100-$200 for 98 or e85. $300-$400 for race fuel

Brake pads $200-$500 per set

Fuel to tow the car to the track $200

Driver and crew accommodation $50pp per night

Driver and crew food $50pp per day

Driver and crew booze: depends on win or lose. Lose is more expensive

Plus prep on the car, say $5000-$100000. Or 3-5 times that for a front running superlap car.

So, I reckon every 50 bucks someone can spare will help a great cause

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
