Mark-t said: I'm sure I saw you driving into Japfest today, but couldn't find your car anywhere!!
T-shirt sun tan? Saw this car driving away from Japfest about 11:30am. The sound!

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?

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.

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!

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

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

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
