I was forced to do a bit more work on the front of it due to rabbit damage, brake vents and a splitter

Does she drive well ?

[techieboy]

Rackmount rails, FTW!

[NOSBandit]

And I got a very funky rear diffuser of Frosty34, very good quality and can highly recommend. Works very well with the hinged clam.
Currently in the middle of fitting a plumbed in fire extinguisher

Does she drive well ?

she drives exceptionally well, best handling car I've ever driven☺

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

great work, I think the boot lid might need another look (all in my shitty opinion)

 

Front end looks epic and hinged clam is fantastic.

[NOSBandit]

Boot lid options were very limited, I thought this was the best option.

Great project and impressive skills! What power is it running?

[NOSBandit]

Not sure on power, I would probably guess at about 300ish as I'm only running 1 bar of boost at the moment.

[NOSBandit]

The one thing I am very happy with is the final weight of the car, with driver the car weighs in at 930kg as I have since added a plumbed in fire extinguisher. It gives it a nice balance of 40% front and 60% back. I have also checked that the scales were accurate and had been recently calibrated.

Well it has been a while since I have added anything to this project thread, the work is ongoing but isn't it always with these fun little cars.
I decided to have to have a change of interior as the old seats gave me back ache and weren't the best on track.

From biscuit.....



To......



The fitting was a right pain due to the size of the sequential shifter.

I decided it was time to fit a bigger petrol tank, so in went a pro alloy 60ltr tank and a walbro hellcat fuel pump.

This I cant understand?

My cars is having a front rear distribution of 41/59.

Having 194kg over each front Wheel with me in.

 

Thats 24kg heavier over front end then yours. 

This with a small 22ah battery and 16" TD 1.2 in front and 1" ARB.

 

Is it really that much weight difference or can it be the scales or both maybe.

I have also wondered about the accuracy of that, even though I asked them if it was accurate.
I had the car corner weighted at the beginning of this year and it weighed 200kg on each front wheel and 300kg on each back wheel.

I also wanted to clear the obscured view out of my rear mirror, so I decided to change a few bits on the engine and fit a different engine cover.
To do this I needed to get a custom inlet manifold with short runners made and fit a barrel chargecooler, whilst I was doing that I also fitted a tubular exhaust manifold, efr7163 turbo and individual coilpacks.
I am very happy with the end result 😀

What power does it make? The 3SGTE can make silly numbers...

[NOSBandit]

At the moment it's running at 456bhp

Expansion tank could do with a change ;-)

 

Used to have an ST205 which ran at a measly 300bhp but lovely engines, great work, and as others have said astounded by how skilled some people are on here. 

[ChrisS1]

Fantastic work. A credit to all the effort you must have put in.

Much more OEM looking with the revised set up allowing standard bootlid to fit.

I like how you quickly glossed over the fact you've fitted a sequential shifter. Is there any kind of traction control fitted?

[smiley]

Are the 4 buttons on the steering wheel (or scheduled to be) hooked up to something?
