thats plenty fast enough to blow most things away with ease plus retaining some form of reliability also so not interested in more power

Very nice spec bob the white wheels look nice.

Nice & suttle, With alot of potential under the bonnet

Nice & suttle was just thinking the exact same.nice wheels and that splitter looks horrid sell me it lol.Any advertising planned ? just a couple of the right colour stickers not to big would finish it off i think

Looking good there Bob, looking forward to seeing it at the next sprintday
Hows the cider going by the way?

cheers chaps glad you like it

no more stickers im afraid,just want to keep it as subtle as possible as 1) a 40 odd year old bloke looks a right twat driving a stickered up trackcar on the road
2) it just highlights the car to the ol bill and unsavoury type characters shall we say

only thing il be changing is the back windows as got a pair of dark limo tints il be fitting so the puppys dont cook in the back

done one crate pete, il give you a shout when i need some more

nice touch with the stickers bob lookin good!!!

NOT ENOUGH STICKERS Nice car bob

Thats ok, i still got 15 crates left

Looks very clean Bob who'd you get to polish it for you?

Looks a well sorted spec, and the torque figure exceding the hp figure is awsome! Bet it pulls like a steam train!

if i could get mine half has good as that i would be well pleased!

cheers guys
yep im quite pleased with it, its a bit hardcore for road use but not as much as the marlboro car.

i keep thinking of sticking that big turbo on it we have, but then i think whats the point lol.
its plenty quick enough as is plus the engine all seems good, more power will only see it blow up quicker

stu....you know i just dont do polishing....its so last season darling

looks awesome - very tidy - great spec too - sounds like it will last you with (hopefully) no issues and still deliver that throw back in the seat smile and plenty of goodies to hold its own on the track too - great work Bob

Hey Bob. That looks great. My car is pretty much stock.....for now. The numbers you are producing is where I'd like to be. What would suggest with mostly bolt-on's. Not ready to dive into the motor just yet.. at least nothing beyond cams. Let me know.

think i already sent you email roger explaining bits that wont rape your pocket lol

Looks good. Hope this something special surprise over winter isn't too big then. You know the sprint trophy's still going to be mine! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!
Any dates for the day yet?

Whats this bit:
g spec larger water pump pulley

I presume the pulleys the same size but the internals are bigger?


This is my favourite bit though..... dog gaurd cage for my puppys

There's got to be 10 brake horse gained there, I reckon its worth more than a go faster stripe!!

haha yep its a safety cage just incase i roll the car with my little furry cherubs in the back

the g spec water pump pulley is around 10mm larger than a stock pulley and is a great bit of kit as it stops the water cavitation problem with these cars when there constantly over 5500rpm on the track.

yes my new cunning plan is in place soley to beat you chris.
you just bought the big tubby and stuff but il be pushing the boundaries and trying something altogether different as im a bad loser and i hate getting beat

the trophy will be mine! mine! mine! next year, my whole life is now focused on it

Safety first for your Puppy's, I like it!

I was wondering that, with a bigger pully slowing down the rotational speed of the internals, I thought they'd be some clever reason behind it.

Ha Ha, I believe you Bob, thousands wouldn't, I reckon you just like pushing boundaries, and that's an excuse to push them!! No one likes losing, so I really hope I beat you now! HA!

Definately made me chuckle, I like the competition, healthy competition never hurt anyone!

very nice car bob. You still have it ?

Just curious, what size are those wheels ?

Cheers

Jay

they are 17'' joel
the car will be up for sale shortly with a different spec as were now building a new car for next year over the winter months

Il bid £20 start i thought you was using this car as the base and building the rest up with this shell.... how come the change of shell bob you got a more track based shell ready?

It's a bloody nice car man... sorry for me asking bob but what width and model ? I'm looking for some wider wheels that can fit a big break kit.

Oz superturismos i think. ... Probably 205. ...7J width

they were 17'' oz superleggeras i think joel, just standard 7js wide.

yes leighton im using the other car we have with full msa cage fitted as no one was interested in buying that rolling shell so ive literally stripped and rebuilt the car back to standard in this thread and will be using a much more track focused shell, so this car will be put up for sale.
all the main bits like the poly subframe, diff etc have already been put on the trackcar shell, its now just waiting on the engine, charger and other gizzmo's to be fitted, will be up and running all ready for spring.

I did see that shell up for sale would of loved it but no cash availble at the time like always when you want something what suspension are you going to be running on the new track car?
