lol just mucking. sounds like a good build.

Looks like a machine, any more specs on suspension mods/set-up?

isnt your car (assuming its the one in your avatar) used for some kind of driver training or track days or something? sure I have seen it somewhere before.

Post more pics and detail of the rest of the setup!

Expected output? Where on earth did $32k go? Ouch lol

This car has been an Improved Production track car from about 2000 and won the Vic State Championships for the 2000 and 2001 Late Model class
At that time I only had the B18 with B16 head but highly modified. The engine lasted about 10 years. So now I have decided to go build another race motor and not intentionally meaning to spend so much but has just blown out to that amount...
I really dont like to speculate on power figures as it's an unknown Qty. I know it will be quick and very reliable as with the previous build by the same engine builder. As far as where I got the money ...lol well I got some spare cash from a redundancy pay out.. now Im skint ...lol
The engine will be installed this week I hope and should have some dyno figures soon after.

Cheers Gary

Looking forward to results!

May I ask, why did you build the B series over a K? Srs question, build looks intense!

My old engine gave up after Andy... AK Motorworks built me a shit engine that lasted 1weekend, so I went back to my original guy.
I was never planning to spend so much so a K motor was never considered. But as the build progressed we kept thinking of better things to do and as a result bang there goes over ##K...Parts labour on and on. Also this engine builder backs his work, if it goes wrong and Im not at fault he will rebuild at no cost to me.

Since the original build I have only ever had the Koni Yellow with coilovers, nothing fancy but seems to be well set up for Phillip Island as my best time there with the B18/Vtec is 1:51
The pickup points have been lowered to lower the roll centre. The top arms are ajustable so I can dial in the right neg camber and caster but thats it !
The front roll bar is stock and the rear is Whiteline 19mm I think ??

Yes correct, Im one of the driver advisors at Phillip Island..

Thanks...

Thanks for that - i hope alot of people read this thread and think twice about cheap coilovers when you can get these results with Koni's...

I do remember having them modified to suit the lowering of the car so that I would not have bump steer....

Personally i would say that a minimal issue since the car is so low (and dedicated to track work). Most street cars aren't that low with modified pick up points, so wouldn't need the mods.

Good luck with the racing again this year! :thumbsup:
