Going for 1000 bhp!

[Chunkychucky]

Absolutely love this car Jamie, would love to emulate it but unfortunately I don't think my funds will allow me to get anywhere near... How close to standard is the gearbox casing and internals (have they been strengthened)? Are you running standard ratios?

[JamieP]

Thanks, Gearbox is a stock V160, they are pretty strong, ive never touched the box in this car.

Picked up some carbon door cards, the car is going back into SRD next week for a slight detune and changing the turbo to one a bit smaller, make it a bit more usable, i miss the faster spooling of the smaller turbos, still should be itro 900bhp.

I can only imagine how 900BHP is 'a bit more useable' Is that pre-emtive for a trip to the ring?

Door cards look very nice.

[FleshMechanic]

Maybe the mods can change the thread title to "Going for 900bhp".

I love the fact that it's a "detune to 900bhp".....which is still a colossal amount of power! The door cards look great!

[SavanP]

Just read "the car previously had 730 bhp and i have got very use to it and now needing more."

One word: Jeeeeeeezzz!

[Sf_Manta]

I think there's a point when you have too much power and it's not useable.. and Jamie's gone and found it.. at 4 digit figures

Consider that the turbo F1 cars has as much power but less than 50% of the weight and zip all traction control No wonder you're backing the power off a bit Jamie. Still an absolute crazy car.

Around a decade ago I was reading an interview with Alois Ruf Sr. He said they do not chase numbers for the sake of it when tuning thier cars, unlike many of their rivals. Instead they build a car to go as fast as possible in the real world. So in many cases their more usable lower power (presumably with higher torque) engines would blow away on paper higher BHP rivals. I suspect it translates that a drag car may not be the fastest thing on the road. Food for thought

Right, anyone got a spare 32.5k?

Can't believe this is for sale!!

[SirSamuelBuca]

Shame it's for sale. Next post is going for 2000bhp on a gtr

[D15CO D4VE]

No you cant dell my favorite car I dont have the funds yet!!!

[JamieP]

Need a change, I'm going to break it for parts next weekend, got my eye on a few cars, most likely going to get a black GTR.

[Rollcage]

The sum of the parts being greater than the whole, I guess?

[RumbleOfThunder]

But, but, but, I thought you'd never sell.

I know of one going cheap with a few dents in it

[Janosh]

I'll be very sad to see my favourite thread disappear

Although I can't wait for the new thread to appear!

[k-ink]

Why the change of heart? Did you have a tussle with a Skyline and get left behind? I seem to have missed the post about if being for sale

[GreatGranny]

Good luck with the sale (of the bits), I'm going to miss this thread.

Promise to start another when you get the GTR or whatever else you decide on.
