Well, it all starts tomorrow, as most of the driveline will be payed, and im fuckin pumped. Big thanks to beau from westside, aswell as my boss Paul of pulse racing, for giving me a hand to get all these parts.
So whats the plan?
Well first we need to set the tone.
Two engines will be built. The first which we are calling stage 1, which we are hoping for around the 190hp atw mark, and the second which is due at the end of the year, will be where we crack the 200+hp atw mark. The second will see alot of development, hence the reason why we are seeing just what is capable with the first mild motor.
The Car is being built as a club car, with the ability to compete in time attack events, such as superlap, sure my piddly 150kw won't get me tooo far, especially against some of the cars that will be debut in the next yr or two. But it is worth a try. I will make a point now in saying the is a race car, not a registered street car.
Current parts list.
ADM Ae86 sprinter (Rolling shell)
1 complete BT 20v built bottom end
1 complete 20v head (ported, polished, cams)
1 spare 7 rib block
1 spare 20v head
1 knife edged bt 20v crank
1 set of 4 atlantic/carrillo rods
1 set of 47mm TOMS throttles
1 set of custom extractmores
1 electric water pump
1 TRD ceramic clutch
1 OS Giken twin plate clutch
1 T50 G-box (will be fitted with a new gearset at some stage)
1 Alloy radiator, and over flow
1 oil cooler
2 catch tanks
1 autronic sm4
1 t seires (i need a tailshaft)
Supertech 13mm valves, springs and retainers
and a few other goodies that I can't remember at present.
So there is still alot of work to do, and alot of money to spend. Suspension needs to be sorted out, this will be done once the car is driving, and also alot of bodywork needs to be carried out, including paint and rust repairs, removal of unwanted metal, engine bay smoothing, roll cage etc etc.
So anyway, heres a few pics of how it started out, and how I ruind fairly cool car with my bullshit behaviour, then the parting out due to a lack of a job. Ah enough talking i think this is getting quite long lol.
Ignore the TRP sticker, these are old pics.
Thank god, I don't havt to do that this time lol.
Well that how the car looked at the start of 2008, I'll get some pics of the current state, once i find something that will take a decent pic.
Cheers guys, hope you all enjoy my little adventure
