I think the GTR bug got to a few people, but there is def going to be some nice builds being completed next year. Jay's is gonna be immense, and Rob Mitchell's looks like it's gonna be special. Johnny's is def gonna be special as a VVTi build, hopefully these and more can inspire some more people back into the fold

Not much left to do now tbh Amir, I dont want any more power, if parts fail i may go bigger though, id only go bigger turbo if i was going stroker i think, the car has been in the baldy's bodyshop for the last week getting a few bits touched up, going to pick it up tomorrow morning and very much looking forward to that, i cant put my foot down though, Lee put some bigger wastegate springs in it as i could not get any more than 2.2bar boost from it, I now i need Ryan to play with my boost settings, i think he is going to pop over tomorrow.

 

I built a garage to store her in now she is getting on a bit, im going to spend the weekend kitting that out with a new workbench etc.

 

 

I'm still not 100% on how far to go with mine.

 

You should have been a woman mate, make ya mind up :D

gonna try to get in the mid 11's next year (I know thats not impressive but just my goal)

so over the winter sending the car to lee to sort the clutch/flywheel and look at the gearbox making sure it will good for next year.

then the plan is

fit the line lock

buy the drag wheels

make headlight intake

the rest will depend on what funds are like

aiming to do weight reduction next year before any more power

lexan rear and side windows

glass fibre doors

back seat delete

carbon bonnet and boot would be nice but cant see it next year after that.

Sounds good Lee, 11's is still a fast car mate, only a handful of cars around here that can do that.

My car is in the bodyshop too, hopefully I will have some photos of its progress next week. The car is in getting a full re-spray in 202, painting the endless brakes red, painting wheels = black lip and gunmetal centre, new carbon fiber bonnet, cobra Misano lux seats and a full interior trim with black alcantara and black leather to match the Cobra seats..! I am also upgrading my speakers and installing a subwoofer that’ I’ve had in the house for ages now.

 

Next will be new suspension and wheels to improve handling so it will better match my driving style and terrain.

Why you u-turned on the GT-R Jamie?

 

The forum has been really dead lately everyone seems to get jittery every winter!

 

I dont want to ever sell the supra and spending GTR money on another toy for myself is just selfish, id rather spend the money on giving my three girls a good life, holidays etc.

cheers lads

 

out of interest jamie was it you that was going to go for lexan side windows then someone said there not very good if you have them half down?

 

Not me mate, i only wanted the rear screen although i may change that back to glass soon, lexan looks naff after a very short while and i like my car looking mint.
