Quote from: "Jap GT300"So how does it drive?  You can't tell me you've still not taken it out!

doesn't look in any shape yet, the supsension looks incomplete

The suspension is complete (It's actually totally stock MR-S). The car is out for the body kit to be fitted and painted next week, then IIRC from spending the day with Patrick & Matt yesterday, the engine electrics need to be hooked up and the turbo piping fitted.

Basically the car will be ready for it's unveiling at JAE and given the pace at which things are progressing test runs will be happening well before then.

It's not yet ready (although the suspension was one of the first things completed - adjustable TRD Sportivo all round, despite what Steve says!). The RogueCam looks interesting today...

That's the thing with live cameras... You have to be there at the time!   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

I was refitting the Fortune kit ready to take the car away for painting. Unfortunately, this made the car too wide for the trailer so I had to take it all off again to be assembled at it's destination...

Lol! It's been nearly a year since the last update....

I've got loads of excuses as to why this project isn't finished, but cheif amongst is the fact that I'll always shunt my own project to the bottom of the pile in favour of a customer's car.

We built the car up into a semi-finished state for last year's JAE - some of you will have seen it. We have all of the bodywork we need, gear linkages are now sorted, water system needs some off-the-shelf couplers, chargecooler is installed, uprated fuel system is in, exhaust needs some fab work, turbo needs some fittings, standalone ECU needs wiring in... It's all just little bits that need finishing off. It shouldn't be long now.

Here's a pic of the body fitted for those that haven't seen it:



Mmmmm... Wiiiiiide....

I love the veilside kit, except for the front bumper.   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:  

Now that I have a Turbo SW20 with about 244whp, I'm in love with the engine, but miss the driving pleasure that I had from my ZZW30... Putting the two together... That has got to be absolutely mind-blowing!   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:    s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:    s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:    s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:  

Congratulations.    s:D :D s:D

That's what I thought, except we got a bit carried away sellotaping bits and bobs on as we went. There's now a hybrid GT28 ball bearing turbo on there, which along with fuelling, cooling and engine management mods will see in excess of 300whp in initial trim. We've designed some of the systems to be modular and easily detached, which means we can change the engine out quickly if we want to use it for development work. We have 3SGTE based projects underway at the moment specced for in excess of 600BHP, and there's no reason why we couldn't simply swap the engines over if we so desired.

I should just add, I'm ditching the TRD Sportivo's in favour of Tein Superstreets and EDFC, so if anyone's interested in the TRD stuff drop me a line.

I'll upgrade to the Flex kit when that's available (imminently) which means there'll likely be a barely touch SuperStreet kit available soon too!

I have a stupid/evil smile on my face just for imagining that.   s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:  

All that power in a stock looking '2... That would be even better. Can only imagine the faces on the s2000's owners at the trackdays.   s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:    s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:    s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:

Oh yes! I'll nip out and take some pictures this morning - they've been fitted to the VM180 on trial for the last couple of months.

Just out of interest, how do the corner weights and front/rear weight distribution compare to a stock Mk3, and a turbo kitted Mk3?
