Hi guys, i have been reading the forums for a fair while now, but have never actually posted!

Here is my Time Attack project car. Unfortunately it's up for sale because we have a baby on the way, but i really don't want to sell her. Can you guys help to convinceme not to let her go?

It's al good ammunition to show the wife

Here she is...

i saw that on fleebay.

No activity was there. Or was there one bid on 4k. cant remember now.

GreenDream

Thanks, however although i have built a few lairy cars in my time, i can't take craedit for this one. Most of it was done by a memberon here (Richypera), so Rich if you are reading this, your work is top notch. I've just been finishing off jobs that needed doing before next years season. unfortunately the news of a new arrival kinda put a spaner in the works lol!! Think i may ask Time Attack if i can fit a baby seat in the back .

And yes its Kwak Green.

GreenDream

Thanks, the engine has not even been run in yet, but once setup should easily be able to handle 550/550.

heres the full spec...

Bodywork

The car was stripped to a bare shell, all sound deadening was removed, the wiring was simplified and the side impact bars were removed. The rear door lock and window mechanisms were removed to save even more weight. An FIA approved 6 point roll cage was fitted and the car was painted Kawasaki Green and has been undersealed underneath. The boot floor has been removed and a huge rear diffuser has been installed for downforce. The battery is now in the boot for better weight distribution. A large carbon adjustable GT wing has been fitted on extended struts. The front bumper has been replaced for a fibreglass 22b replica and a large front splitter has been fitted to work with the rear diffuser. Canards have been fitted at the corners of the bumper to further aid downforce. A reverse bonnet scoop has been fitted for less drag and the car has the factory fitted roof vent.

Interior

All uncessary weight has been removed, and the interior has been sprayed to match the exterior. A rear firewall has been installed to meet regulations. The front seats have been replaced with Cobra Monaco FIA approved items and Sparco harnesses. The passenger seat has been mounted to the floor to help lower the centre of gravity. The heater controls have been removed in favour boost, oil press and oil temp guages. There is a carbon start panel instead of the centre console and all the door cards have been replaced by carbon items. There is a suede momo steering wheel and the DCCD control has been relocated to the dash.

Transmission

The standard five speed box has been replaced by a 6 speed new age DCCD box with an R180 rear diff. All driveshafts have been swapped with uprated items. It has an STI carbon front strut brace and rear strut brace. The suspension has been swapped for cusco coilovers with adjustable top mounts. There's also whiteline adjustable camber arms, tie bars and ARB's. All bushes have been swapped for Polybushes. The bottom arms have been swapped for new age items to give a slighly wider track, along with new age hubs.. A Cusco twin plate clutch rated to over 600bhp has also been installed. A new age power steering rack, pipework and PAS pump has also been installed.

Brakes

Front brakes will be needed, but the rears have been replaced wih new age Brembo items and new big disks. All lines have been replace with steel lines. A brake master cylinder stopper has been fitted.

Wheels and Tyres

Brand new 18" Innovit Tarmac lightweight alloys shod with brand new Toyo T1 tyres. They are an excellent combination that offer excellent grip in both dry and wet.

Engine

Still yet to be run in, the engine has been completely rebuilt with Omega WRC flat top pistons, H beam con rods, new V4 STI crank, V4 STI heads, Acl competition bearings, Cometic 1.3mm head gaskets, ARP bolts all in a closed deck STI block. The inlet manifold has been rotated and all uneeded brackets removed. There is custom intercooler pipework to a large frount mounted intercooler. custome SS headers relocate the GT35 turbo to the front bumper for a short pipe run and extra response. The turbo sucks through a custom K & N big air filter. The turbo is controlled by a tial wastegate and custom screamer pipe. A Tial blow off valve is mounted on the intercooler pipework. A Greddy oil cooler is located behind the front grill. the car has a custom radiator setup, PAS tank and oil catch tank. The exhaust is now only a short pipe that exits the front bumper to save weight. A parallel fuel system has been installed with an Aeromotive FPR and fuel filter, splitting into SS lines on custom fuel rails. The injectors are 740cc items. The tank is fitted with an uprated Walbro item, but i was going to fit a race cell and external pump. the engine is controlled by a Bourne Possum Link ECU with hand controller in the car. it also comes with mapping softare. The engine also has uprated oil and water pumps, and a baffled sump to stop oil starvation under hard cornering.

GreenDream

Nope, no activity yet. Its a bit of a specialist car to be honest. I have had loads of people make offers but i'm not going to give it away. The car is worth a lot, and i do have 9 months to sell it lol. So if it doesn't meet reserve i'll reconsider.

very very nice mate but if u keep it would u run it in the time attack in 2009

GreenDream

Thanks mate. Yeah i would hope to. I ran in the HKS drag series at santa pod this year in my drag Skyline, so that is also an option opento me, but it would be a shame just to use the car for that.

true yes before i bought my classic wrx i had a saxo vts that i used for 1/4 mile sprints ect at york evlington an seaton ross . good fun but the track days were better . the look on sum peoples faces when u run 0-60 in 5.9 sec in a saxo without a turbo or nitrous and still 1600cc engine still makes me smile ha ha

good luck with the car fella

GreenDream

Thanks Andy. 5.9 0-60 for an N/A 1600 is extremely good. Those little saxo's are serioulsy underrated litle machines.

Great looking car and looks like its had alot of time spent on it.

Be a shame to sell it chap, but needs must and all that.

mystic_magic

How on earth did it do a 5.9

Moley

iTrader: (9)

Not 100% sure about the colour, but other than that i'm in love!!!

GreenDream

Thanks Frayz and moley! I know what you mean about the colour. It is a bit lairy but i think it works well as a track car, especially with sponsors to attract. It stands out a bit .

Moley

iTrader: (9)

As a track car i agree 100%, especially if it is being sponsored, as it will certainly stand out!!! (ie... Norris Designs Green, Sumo Power Pink etc...)

Really hope you get to keep it, as you have obviously put a lot of work (and money) into it.

Tell your partner that if you do Time Attack more people will notice the car, and therefore you can ask more money for it, or find it easier to sell after the season. Might work!!!

That looks amazing and it would be a huge shame to sell it but if you have to It looks really hard and it looks really well prepared. It would be a shame to sell it before you've had chance to use it in anger.

Congratulations on the baby

Looking good..... you might wanna fit an Alternator belt at some point....LOL!!!

Looks fantastic that, very well prepared car, great spec etc, all the best with the sale fella.

GreenDream

Thanks for the very kind words guys. I'm thinking that selling it would be criminal now. Perhaps i need to sit on it and think a while longer. I just know i would regret it and would never find another car like this one if i wanted to do Time Attack again in he future.

In the current market you are unlikely to get a reasonable offer for such a sorted car. My advice is keep the car and aim to run it in Time Attack in a few years time. In the mean time, prepare for the new arrival (spend as much quality time with your wife as you can and go out as much as you can afford), because in a years time you will be exhausted ... trust me!

GreenDream

Sound advice that STIFreak, many thanks. It's baby number two for us . You are right about the current market, i'd be settling for a price way short of what the car is truly worth. Thanks again.
