After several years of faithfull service, i wanted something new..
I was about to buy a fully prepped r32 skyline from japan, but made a last minute decision - everybody can buy a car, but not everbody can modify a car... so i opted for contiuning with the old ford... after all i have owned it for 12 years and am quite fond of it! ;-P The easy way that most people choose, is not for me , everyone can buy a new car change oil and fill fuel , but not everybody can build a car that...and the latter kind of rise the stakes a bit ;) We will give it new just about everything basicly, as you will see in this thread. Engine will be based on a heavily modified twin turbo charged FORD GT/Shelby GT500/koeniggsegg engine/ (they use ford mod motors - more info on that here : (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Modular_engine) ), but with far more robust internals fitted, and a whole host of one off parts fabricated to specification by us wich is necessary to achieve the very high performance criteria set for the project. Transmission is built in california by liberty. This is going to be a hypercar humiliator, and you may quote me on that... ;) This is what she looked like when it had the 600rwhp Ford Cosworth YB engine just before we tore her down for her final evolution Attachment 109263 Attachment 109264 Attachment 109265 Today (2010), she looks like this : Attachment 109266 Attachment 109267 Attachment 109268 Attachment 109269 Attachment 109270 Attachment 109271 So , to the build, read trough this thread and you can watch her "rebirth as a real Zzzleper and a supercar slayer :) New rear suspension off a mustang cobra R, wich obviously is going to have some major mods as well, duo to both the power levels we will be running and beacuse the original design of it has quite a few flaws..

looks like an accusump to me it is an accusump yes, to prevent engine oil starvation during hard cornering ,braking, and now with the new setup - during accelration as well. |
That transmission tunnel fabrication is truly fookin stunning!!
As regards the rest? Work of ART!! I will was with interest! |
cheers, only heard of them not seen them, was wondering why it had so many hazardous stickers and a manual valve on it.
