TURBO NA6 CLUBRACER P.B at P.I 1:50.6

Postby lightyear » Sun Feb 21, 2010 8:39 am

The oilcooler should be able to sit off to the side and i will build a box around it so it gets it's own air. I get the alloy/plastic sheets from the local alloy suppliers here. My brother is a commercial bulider and he said they use heaps of it for fascias. Comes in white, black and silver. I have thought about the coolant re-route, it can still be done later. I know i will run out of time real quick with the limited time i have to get it all done before 13 march. (next track day)

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Fully serious. I have seen a few pics of S2000 with a similiar kit. But then i found this one. I love the look of the slated fins, (but in black) at the bottom of the front guards. Got the "V" mount intercooler in and cut the bonnet out with a shround around the hole.

Changed the timing belt this arvo and found that there is a HKS cam as well as the HKS adjustable cam gear.

I also changed the cam seals and crank seal. I made a tool to hold the crank and the other end i made to pull the selas out. If somone wants to borrow it they are welcome.

I am going to make a new down pipe as well. I modified the firewall already to give more room.

#### FOR SALE - TURBO NA6 CLUBRACER ####

Postby lightyear » Wed Apr 21, 2010 2:28 pm

I am going to build an NB track car now. So i have to sell this one. Price will be negotiable depending on what comes with the car. I don't mind selling it anything from a shell, to a comlplete car ready to hit the track car. It is a very good little package, i have lots of bits ie - spare 1.6l motor, complete 1.6 l.s.d, gearbox, etc. So if you wanted to, it could be returned to non turbo with the lighter l.s.d. P.M me if you want more details or call me on 0410504737 Cheers, David. I have it booked in for wednesday next week to pull the motor out and give it a freshen up. It is currently rego'd. But would need some work to return it to a roadworthy condition.
