well ive just got home from collecting my new car, I cant but help myself deliberating over the last 6 years or so and how my weekend/toy cars have progressed from the beginnings being a 470hp cosworth.

all I can say is if you've never been in one, my god as a driving experience they are genuinely mind blowing.
I have only run the lowest boost setting so far of 1 bar and honestly it feels as fast or faster than any other car ive driven, I will confirm with some vbox pulls in due coarse.
it is effortless to drive and the noise, oh my god the missus got a driveby vid but it hasn't come out its got that sound like the supercars have I am smitten with it lol

and some pics needs a clean but honestly cant be arsed atm lol












you can waft along at 40 mph and it will sit in 6th gear at 1500 rpm burbling silky smooth ! slow moving in traffic crawling along no judders, rattles nothing just like a standard modern car would, my only gripe is with r888 tyres all round 315/35/20 rears, 285/35/20 fronts it whines so bad tyre noise it sounds like its got a wheel bearing gone lol, but they are needed to be able to use all the power, I can imagine its gonna be quite violent at 1-6 - 1.8 bar lol


and when you want some fun just tap the paddle shift once puts it in manual and then away you go but even in manual it will still shift 20 rpm before hitting the limiter so it is never touched, ryan has genuinely mapped the car to perfection.

I bought the car from ryan Griffiths himself it was his own personal development car that he used to make the syvecs kit fit the gtrs.


has cruise control, electric seats, displays to monitor everything as standard then extras all monitored by the syvecs ecu, its like a playstation car lol
I was questioning myself if im going mad spending this amount of money on a car but as a machine its in another league to anything ive ever had.


and best of all the missus and kids can get in and they all love it
my girls




the car will see some pod action once ive recovered from the shock of spending the amount ive spent lmao

 

Superb. It's what I would buy if I had the cash.

 

Look great and sounds like it will be a useable road car aswell which is amazing at that power.

 

seems a fantastic spec that mate not jelous at all ha ha. look forward to some vids

 

What a beast, you are going to have to put some acceleration vids up soon

 

heres a quick clip I took of the exhaust sound before I locked her away.

 

Glad you're pleased with it mate, looks a superb bit of kit! Love the colour too.

Definitely need a ride in this

 

What a weapon, fair play

 

Nice one!

Dare i ask how much something of that caliber cost you?

 

I must say, I've never been that sold on these, not really my cup of tea, but I bet it's a bloody missile. Definitely one of the most impressive cars around.

 

it was advertised for Ł62k !

 

Fair play then bud, if you can afford it then why the hell not!

Life is to short to piss about!

But, you couldnt buy and build one for that so you could say you got a deal lol

 

im glad you all like it, I certainly do

it is amazing at 1 bar how quick it is but also how little drama there is it just gets up and goes, and with the shifts so quick and no letting of the throttle you never stop accelerating its just seemless power, I think this pump fuel dyno plot on a dyno dynamics tells it all.




now look at the size of that curve coupled with flat out instant gear shifts its constant pulling

 

health to enjoy mate ,
just be careful not to get carried away in it as the performance must be mind blowing

 

Looks amazing and I imagine that can embarrass ALOT of bikes! Can only imagine the acceleration that thing pumps out, pinned to the seat behaviour I would think!! Just going to wait for that guy rod to come along and tell you it's not fast until you've done a vmax event or something to prove it

 

you have ruined every other car you ever own from now on, cos you won't beat that machine,
love it you lucky git.

 

Congrats mate stunning car ,must be mind blowing performance.

 

it sure is, so much so that 1 bar was ample and I didn't even touch the boost controller, its only a flick of a switch on the steering wheel aswell

the car has already run at a uk airfield and did 207 mph

they are in a league of there own, the transmissions are absolutely awesome

cheers neil its pretty mind blowing at 1 bar mate, at full chat like in that plot is 1.6 bar im sure its gonna be quite mad

Im looking forward to some real world data to compare against the fastest cars ive had previously.

 

Still can't get away from Cosworth lol

Steve

 

I said you'd buy it once you've been in it,the power is raw and handling for a big car is unreal

 

Lovely...

 

Awesome car. Very jealous and hope to see it at the Pod sometime.

 

Thats some machine, cant wait to see what numbers you get out of it!

 

Incredible car! My mate had one with 640hp and it did a pretty effortless 10.9 at Santa pod road tyres etc, so imagine yours would do a 9 at the pod. He did get beat by a shonky old Capri with a v8 in it tho, as seen on 5th gear.

 

lol it would take some cosworth to live with it steve

it blew me away mate it really did



I will take it once im used to it and know what all the controls are and ive recovered from the shock of spending so much lol

I think even at 1 bar it will be a record breaker for me, im still very busy selling gtr parts and fixing tractors atm so not a lot of time but its here, its awesome and at the moment it needs nothing

 

my car has reportedly done a 9.8 1/4 mile on a vbox tarmac run I think on an airfield but that was no doubt on ethanol on nigh on 1000 hp.

 

Not to keen on the colour (I wouldn't say no though) but the spec and the car it's self is awesome.

Glad you got what you are after scooby. Proper piece of modern engineering

 

I actually love the browness of it

I would say there will be alot of brown trouser moments in it, in the future. From yourself and from any passenger who has the balls to sit in an 850bhp GTR LOL

 

its a very rare colour for an r35, when you see the car in the flesh it seems like it changes colour with different angles of light.
I do like the colour but il be honest if it was shit brown id of bought it for the performance alone lmao

lol the cream seats will stain easy too lmao

 

Still awaiting a reply from Rod.. "I got more power than that out of a 4 pot" or some shit.

Amazing car. Simply stunning.

If we ever cross paths, I call shotgun.

 

I was on about you can't get away from Cosworth as you have Cosworth headgaskets lol

I bet they are the first things to break

Steve

 

lol im with ya now mate

no doubt the stockers would get abit grumpy at 978 hp

I just found this on ebay, bearing in mind my motor has no head porting or cams so its stock dimensions just forged for strength, that's a lot of motor for Ł9k imo

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3510679273...84.m1423.l2649

with some bigger turbos they make 750 hp, 650 lbft so ive read and are still reliable at that on a stock motor

 

Must be a hand full.

Did you pay 62k for it then?


I will stick with my poor mans performance car lol. Is there much room in the engine bay, will the engine be easy to work on.

 

A work of art

 

no room whatsoever the turbos are completely invisible engine out to get to them buggers lol

it was advertised for Ł62k but we had a deal

cheers I think so, its a supercar without the pricetag imo

 

and with space for the wife and kids in the back lol.

for that cash tho, what else is there really that is the same all round package? nothing i bet!

 

Get the vbox out ,,,

 

thats some spec sheet mate

 

I don't think there is anything to compare for the money.

all in good time

its what sold it, well that and the fact the seller is a genuine guy and its my best ever shot at buying a highly modded one, its all a gamble but its minimised it enough for me to feel comfortable enough to buy it

 

Take the engine out to change turbos??? Fook that. I like to own cars I can work on easily.

I bet its lovely to drive though.
