Very good add there BILL, i hope it sell mate, all the best.
But
Would just like to ask
With the prices you have put up, does this mean you are splitting the car up or selling as HOLE, becoz you have the g/box sold? meaning you are putting another box in it's replacement?

Thanks for the wishes mate. It will be sad to see her go as I remember the day I picked it up in Melbourne and brought it up to Sunny Qld and the state she was in to what she is now.
The car is being sold complete(I couldn't bring myself to strip her)
The list is just to outline what I have purchased for the car. I purchased the Mx7 and conversion and then sold it(MX7) to upgrade to the 25 Box so she wouldnt go bang when I had the new fuel system put in.
The motor is run on Motul since run in and the gearbox is on Redline.
I will be posting the dyno sheet and hoping to have a video of the dyno run once its done for keeps sake. She's been built one tough car and the next owner will be happy im sure as the 35/40 pulls like a truck from low to mid 2nd right through(Kids love it). I never tried to see what her top speed was .
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
im not from the same state...
but if this is what around 15k buys you..
well bugger me!
a twincam conversion, and it has tuff rods!
what more could u want, and chuck a nice 2spd in this and you've got an even quicker car!
an absolute bargain.
***************Update ************
The fuel system is now all brand new!!!!!!!!!!
Made 396.2hp on 20psi which translates to 295.4459rwkw (Very safe tune).
With the new intake manifold and 100mm throttle body the motor feels stronger, more responsive and boost comes on quicker(Full boost by around 3000rpm) and the car pulls hard right through to the 7500 computer set rev limit.
The tuner said 30psi will be no problem but not on pump fuel but im not going to bother.
The Haltech Trim Controller(Boost control has three settings 11psi, 17psi and 20psi).
THIS MOTOR IS BUILT STRONG AND WILL HANDLE THIS OUTPUT DAY IN DAY OUT WITHOUT A PROBLEM AND THE ADJUSTABLE CAMS ARE STILL SET ON NEUTRAL
ANYONE INTERESTED LET ME KNOW

The fuel mix seems to be perfect as the old tune used to put black crap on the back bumper(Still has small S hit stain) but it definately needs some fine tuning as the power output should have been around 450 easy I would have thought.
Only have 2bar map sensor as I didnt ever think of needing more than 20psi on the street with pump fuel.
Theres definatly more to go and Dyno's do differ though so I dont know. Robs dyno is meant to be pretty low compared to others around.
Ive heard the same for Spry's.
I wouldnt mind going to Matty Spry for a tune and see if he can play with the cams.
the guy your with seems to be doing a good job as it is l fly jpc up to tune my car so there,s my thought on wat you said next tune l'll be takin it down to them but take for a run at willow and see how you go with it mate good luk with it
Gave her a tub the other day and took a few more pictures with the new plenum etc.
Note *** The interior looks dusty cuz I just gave it a vacuum but havent tried to armour all it.
Hopefully someone buys it cuz I dont want to have to wreck it to get the money.
P.S. Will be going to Willowbank on the 23rd for the test and tune as I want to see if it will hit 11's. So might see some of you down there and you can see her in action.
Awesome car which will not fail as it has never broken down since I had the rebuild.
Would not be selling except I just bought a skyline with a 26/30 combo that is off its t its.
Cheers
Bill

I think alot of people are naive to how much it costs to build a car like this. When I started off I remembered thinking 13 grand will cover it for sure and before I knew it, it was double and by the end id spent triple.
If someone has the money and thinking about it, come for a run and you will see and feel where the money has been spent (Just tune out the stock interior and imagin custom leather interior when you come for a drive lol).
I think alot of people dont realise what it takes to have reliable 400rwhp (Forged Internals) and for 14 its a bargain.
Ask others how much it cost them to build the same and you will see.
Cheers

Cheers Whitey if she doesnt sell by next week we should go for a cruise. With cars everytime you go to do something it never goes how you want it and its those complications always cost you.
