Did all the work you've shown happen ages ago over a period of time? The speed of this build is insane!

 

I'd like to see some sonic injection :)

Looking to run EFI on the new track car engine (has 48mm DCOEs atm) and tossing up our options

Thanks for the comments guys.

Air box needs to be changed slightly, needs to be tapered towards the back so that the rear trumpets dont suck air away from front trumpets and create an imbalance, or something like that?

computer will be a motec. i think it will be the m84, not 100% sure

Colour will be voodoo blue, engine bay will also be colour.

wheels have been ordered as of last week. 16 x 7 and 16 x 8 showwheels westcoast

ordered discs and koni shocks also

diff will be ordered once wheels turn up

Ryan

wow Ryan super impressed by your knowledge and the work you have done.

 

This is going to be an awesome car.

 

Personally I love the old school sound of a carby, but that Sonic injection system looks the goods.....

this has being a real quick build and is a credit to you and your dad, you both seem to have the skills sorted between you.

 

just a bit of info that some of the other boys are talking about the front gtr bracket, dont be to worried about it as this car is not a gtr, but will be a very nice moch-up, i travel to grafton a bit with the kids for league so i could pop in one time and show you why the shell is just a normal 2 door if you want, send me a pm...

 

keep up the great work

 

cheers gong

Its going to be a show car.. i dont think the battery will be in the engine bay

There will be a small length of pipe and then a pod (sensor inside the pipe)

what do you guys think about white seats, hoodlining and door cards with black carpet and black dash

white carpet is definitely out of the question.. would get way too dirty

Black is boring but it is timeless and neutral. Whites a bit "look at me" but some guys are looking for that effect. :-)

What about a custom period style slate/black combo that appears to be factory but custom designed by you?

Then if change colour way down the track the the trim can stay?
