A few tips etc

if you think my one is a mental project you wanna see the other chap on my suzy forum, he has gone the whole nine yards and made it a porsche beater, it beats a porsche ( think a gt3 ) off the line ! he made totally new front and rear suspension, widened it by about 4 inches each side ( no exagerration! ) so it sits on think 8 or 10 inch mag spun rims , custom rear diff ( think its mtx 2000 diff with interchangeable ratios which he can do via in the boot :-) , suzuki gsxr1000 engine in it too, diffuser system running underneath, just the sort of bloke who us mere mortals get extremely jealous over his skills at cnc milling , race tech knowledge and general race car building...

Quote from: nc30pete;750659yes its the white one, he was on my cappuccino forum and i watched his 13 page plus build diary of it take place. He has done loads to it, fr n rear subframes been blasted, galvanised and painted, all suspension blasted and powder coated with new bushes , brand new coil over suspension kit, new grooved n drilled discs and pads, plus loads more. Quick q to all, how do you attach pics from my hard drive? looked on ur faq bit and it says look at bottom of page for attaching pics but all im finding is insert pic and only getting a url option :-/

Upload it to imageshack or photobucket etc and use the URL

And FYI for anybody who hasn\'t seen it this car is a BEAST!!!! Not a fan of the Spyderised no-windscreen but each to their own

Either way it\'s an amazing piece of kit, saw it on ebay months back possibly around october time? Slightly before? Stunning in every respect, seriously.

thats my rice rocket :-) its been on ebay few times but no one was brave enough to buy at his starting prices with the running issues, but he then bought his new house and needed that gone quick , i won it for 2k :-) few hrs after auction ended some german bloke said he missed auction and said he would buy for 3k - too late sucker!! lol

it looks like my std ecu is to blame for the poor running, what gets me atm is that why would he go to rewiring it all and not look into if its possible to run a single turbo with std ecu

Not working for me.... but it looks epic!

Knew exactly what car you were on about from the get go, wanted to bit myself but I\'m notoriously broke for one reason or another, plus I don\'t have dry storage to warrant buying a topless car unfortunately! Congrats on the purchase! If you don\'t bring it to the shows I\'ll kill you myself ^_^

nc30pete · March 21, 2011, 10:53:47 PM

all you need to do is buy a shed , they are so ludicrously small they fit in them ;-) like i said i got a very good friend who likes his toys too , last year he had an m3csl and a 300bhp westy, m3 sat in his double garage and the westy in his new shed he had made for the westy, which now is where my machine resides ;-) his westy round goodwood was a hoon to drive but i still wish he used the m3 on there too as i think it would of been better in some ways, photobucket isnt working for some reason, did when i posted up pics of my rebuilt motorbike on the bike forum i use, im a tad confused....

Lacey · March 21, 2011, 11:08:30 PM

I only rent, don\'t own a house, and am only 23 so not likely to for a long time yet to come. Shy of dumping a cover over it and hoping for the best, didnt have suitable storage. :/

ok ok im a dumbass , one needs to realise it was a bit longer than he realised and quickly refreshed on how to upload pics courtesy of the help section on photobucket:Hammer

nc30pete · March 21, 2011, 11:15:27 PM

cant use url bit on page but can use img code and paste in that way ! more pics to follow ...

If that\'s the donor car fella its not a single turbo I\'m afraid its a standard twin because I can see the pair of intake pipes on the blitz filters.

nc30pete · March 21, 2011, 11:50:51 PM

it is a single turbo, he convnerted to a single after he got the engine in the suzuki bud ;-)
