Nice looking race car,its a pity that real racers are not very popular on this forum but street racers are.Shame.
I hope you do well in it.
Cool! Will you be posting any further details about the car? Or is it a mystery? :)
Awesome
Hi Guys,
Thanks for your kind words. I have raced the car three times since it was "finished" and for what is a failry standard car I am happy with its performance although it needs to be quicker. Apart from the necessary safety equipment mods, the only things done so far are bigger brakes (283mm), Apexi ECU, 68mm throttle body and a close ratio geabox. I am currently fitting urethane suspension bushes and GAZ coil over adjustable shocks. Once I save some more money I will build a higher performance motor. I am not looking for an outright competitive car, just some thing to race midfield with reliability.
I will psot some more photros over coming days
Cheers
Philip
^wait so you essentially have a street legal race car?
you'll find that not many people have the money to get into proper racing and just want a few mods here and there for the occasional trackdayQuote:

To answer "Curtis265"- no it is not street legal. Trim and non essential parts have been removed to reduce weight as allowed within the IPRA rules.Quote:

Nice car. Hope to see you post regularly on here.
met a few old dudes like yourself
love your wealth of knowlege, hopefully you can share more experiences :)

Saw this car at the last round at Eastern Creek. Always good to watch the unders, great racing! Nice little car by the way. :)
Nice car mate
Any reason it has a black rocket™ cover?
What is a "rocket cover"" ?
I think he means the "rocker" cover, as in cams & rocker arms. Perhaps he was expecting Type R red??Quote:

It is interesting to note that even the slowest Under 2l car is quicker than the slowest Over 2l cars.Quote:

Under 2litres looks like a fun class to compete
