Might be a bit hard to stop with that one lol

[Profi]

Nah mate, clamping straight onto the hat!

[choppo]

Nah mate, clamping straight onto the hat!

LOL - reminds me of the painted discs on PF a few months ago!

[Profi]

That was a joke!

Few plans with the car is to run it as a 2 litre for a while, sort out the chassis, play with a few out there suspension ideas and so on. Once i'm more then happy with the handling it will get a bigger engine. Grabbing together a few bits for a 5L e85 (supercar block, yates nascar heads ect....) windsor at the moment, if it doesn't make enough hp, can always use it as a spare for the mustang.

[sonic]

Impressive work mate, very inspiring!

couldn't imagine a 5L e85 engine wouldn't have enough hp!! Especially in the chassis you've built, it aint that big!

[fatas]

love it good work guys keep them comming :smiles:

[Profi]

Impressive work mate, very inspiring!

couldn't imagine a 5L e85 engine wouldn't have enough hp!! Especially in the chassis you've built, it aint that big!

It's fairly large, 2475mm in wheelbase and an overall width of 1830mm.

[fatas]

with specs like that i would call this car THE FAT GO KART ;)

[seldo]

It's fairly large, 2475mm in wheelbase and an overall width of 1830mm.Very interesting project.
Just for comparison's sake I checked on the specs of a few other cars:
Excel Project Wheelbase...2475........Width....1830...
Current BMW M3..............2761....................1804
Current BMW Z4..............2496....................1790
BMW M6.........................2781................... .1855
911 GT2 RS.....................2350....................185 2

Nissan 350Z....................2550....................18 44
Nissan GT-R Spec V..........2780....................1895
Mercedes SLK sports.........2430....................1777
2009 Mazda Mx5...............2330....................1720
2008 Mazda RX8...............2700....................1770

2010 Subaru WRX STi.........2625....................1795

So - there you are - some interesting comparisons there.
BTW Profi - a very nice job there. :yep:

[Kyle]

Your car does nothing for me profi :)

[Munroman]

Looks like a Koeran Piece Of Junk to me. :)

You better save come cash for that carton of Crownies. :) :) :)

My baby is about 6 weeks away so get a move on mate

[Munroman]

[Profi]

I'm in strife, owe you crownies, seems like im going to owing everyone crownies this year!

Picked up the dampers. Penske 4 way 8770s

Few cars that are nice in dimension and shape from your list.

Z4 in my opinion would be the perfect dimensions and body layout for a sports sedan, sill panel height to the roof is small. The cockpit is fairly close to the rear wheels leaving you leg room, the roof is narrow for less drag. As for the dimension, you could stretch it to 2596*1990mm. We are also building a monaro, it's to big in the wheelbase/overall width. z4 is roughly in the middle of the 2 cars.

Cheers

[Profi]

New dampers.

[Kyle]

ETA to PF skid pics?

[Profi]

Hoping to have it making some noise before the end of the year, few things to buy still, motec computer/dash and a few engine parts.

[Profi]

Front dampers bolted up well, just need to make new spacers as the proflex ones don't fit, as for the rear, a bolt in cradle needs to be made to raise the pick up point by roughly 2", going away from the inboard set up and direct mounting the damper.

The car is a credit to you, did you hand shape the front guards, mate just love it, looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Friend of mine runs in the Kerric SS and is building an Aston Martin as two other guys now have 300zx's and he likes to be different.
Cheers
Uncle Erne

[Profi]

Tell Kerry to get his butt into gear and get that aston on track, did the 300zx scrub up alright after the bingle?

Front and rear guards were all done with hand tools, quiet a few hours in making them but i think it's paid off.

[uncle erne]

Mate
He raced the last round in it, said he was still a bit wobbly but is getting better, he said the Aston should be on the track in August, hope he ment 2010.
Cheers
Uncle Erne

[Profi]

Round 2 mallala was when he smacked it, round 3 at morgan park is this weekend.

Apparently eastern creek is where it is going to debut, that's the 11-12th of September.

Can't wait to see the aston.

I hate you and your toys Liam! :D

[Profi]

Haven't been on here for a while.

Have an ackerman/ steering ratio problem, may resort to making new front uprights, been messing around with v8sc ones, but i'll save them for later on.

[Profi]

???????????

What would you like to know?

[seldo]

I think you're going to need a bigger fuel tank :coffee:Not sure if that's intended to be a joke, but it looks like about 65L ( at a guess about 600x600x180) to me which should be adequate

[Profi]

tank is 32L plus the swirl pot which is close to 1 litre...

that would be good for about 10 laps around PI though there is provisions to connect a secondary tank into the system...

[choppo]

Noice... also that it is a tall tank rather than a wide tank. Something i hope to replicate @ that 35ltr mark + a 'simple' add in tank for enduros etc.

Edit: out of interest, what do you do about foam filling and/or bladder?

[newguy]

Not sure if that's intended to be a joke, but it looks like about 65L ( at a guess about 600x600x180) to me which should be adequate

Yep...:laugh:

Are you talking 10 laps with the SR or 10mlaps with the 8?
Is the Bent 8 just for shitsandgiggles.. or has it been an option all along, as it seems to fit in there very comfortably:yep:

[Profi]

v8 is for shits and giggles for now, though has always been the plan. 10 laps is with the v8, the little sr's seem to suck next to nothing. 10-15 litres a race for a decent engine apparently.

[Profi]

Heading out to the GP for a display. getting it all stickered up tomorrow, should look the part at least.

[newguy]

Is that a CF rear wing or has it been wrapped in that 3M stuff?

Only reason I ask is that I was thinking about getting Shane to wrap mine, and if that's how they turn out then I think I have made my decision:yahoo:

Has "The car is so close to being finished, and I just want to drive it so I'll spend every waking hour working on it just to get it finished" set in yet?

Really looks good... sort of thing I could spend hours looking at:postwhore:

[35R]

I would say it's real..

[Profi]

We've been working at it like crazy for a while now, old man is fabricating parts all day for it, chipping away every night.

As for the wing, it's a carbon gt3 lambo wing.
