That's a big ass turbo!

[DOUGMO]

It's a baby.......

[DOUGMO]

unfortunately I am in a position where I need to move the car on or strip it for parts if there
is the required interest in enough of the parts

 

I WOULD PREFER TO SELL THE WHOLE CAR
 
The car has custom wide body (+160mm) with all fibreglass doors, front/rear guards and a carbon roof
shell/cage is log booked - car weighs 950kg ready to run

dms 50 with swift springs (spare springs too) and spherical tops
full racefab arms and crossmembers (all of them front and rear)
gtx 3582 turbo (not fitted) .82 t3 twin scroll
M&W cdi (not fitted)with coil on plug
endless 6 pot front brakes with pf rotors

Twin cylinder/adjustable brake pedal box
motec pdm 15
motec m84 ecu
full tefzel loom (would only really work if with all motec bits and sensors
cdl3 dash and plm
ppg dog gearbox (5 speed, lsd, 4 spider centre diff, polished)

fuel system (2 x 044, 1 x carter, 7.5l surge with fuel temp and level, 23l main tank)

Lots more detail in this car and it has taken me 8 years and 10s of thousands of dollars to get it to where it is. currently fastest evo ever around winton



I do not want to sell this car but it needs to go as my family is growing and
I don't have the time or money to keep running it

[jack be nimble]

Sorry to hear.

[evo-gsr]

No . shit.....never thought I would see this day.
Seen this thing in action a couple of times...if someone was to buy they would not be disappointed....all the hard work has been done.

[Evo-00x]

 So sad to hear. Its been and epic build plus exciting for us to see it hit the track at WTAC. You lived it mate. You bought it, built it and raced it.

You could always buy a minivan and transfer the parts over?

Mitsubishi Grandis or Outlander perhaps?

[Cranked]

What the actual f@#k, It's not April 1st right? I haven't missed a couple of months in haze of surgical anaestesia....? Sorry to hear George, u have certainly been a pillar of inspiartion with this build, but there are more important things in life. Good luck with the Sale and hopefully someone will but it and treat it with the continued passion.

[BMGTZ]

ah shit...that is like selling your own children. Its going to be hard for you to see it go .

 

however...

 

 

let me be the first!

[evopwr]

Can't believe it, but I guess as they say all things come to end eventually.

LOL Brian!

[ENGINR]

and the circling begins......

[BYBY5L]

Oh fuck that, sell a kid! lol

Gearbox an diff... keen as, if its parted, pm me a price or mark me down as an interested party

[ENGINR]

Whack a forged 2.0 with a mid-range turbo in it and a stock gearbox, ditch the aero and big tyres, tune it for a healthy and reliable 220-250kw and just drive it.

[DOUGMO]

that unfortunately requires money that i dont have mate.

 

its a bloody awesome car to drive. so close but yet so far for me.

 

 

the core issue is i have really built a car that is above what i can afford to run, thats probably why its taken me 8 years to build it lol

[ENGINR]

This is causing me all sorts of internal conflict issues mate.....

[evo-gsr]

Me too....

sell some parts...keep car....use funds generated to continue at a lower grade

[ENGINR]

^^ That's what I'm trying to convince him to do too, but he raises some valid points against that option as well.

 

It's not just the cost of owning and building the car that adds up, when you actually use it in events the out of pocket spends skyrocket!  I couldn't imagine them at a WTAC level but even at the novice track days I do the average cost works out to be around $500 by the time you've put fuel in the tow car, fuel in the race car, paid entry fees and all the other little things that need to be covered.

 

Then there's the maintenance afterwards and replacement tyres and other consumables....

[jack be nimble]

Are sponsors hard to find?

[evopwr]

That's the price you pay if you want a race car!
