SXYBT.1
I'm sure everyone knows this car but there are going to be some much needed changes done.
Specs are as follows.
Engine: Ross forged pistons, o-ringed, shot penned rods, port & polished, nizpro cam, 036cc injectors, 044 fuel pump, nizpro catch can, 3inch exhaust, front mount cooler, cut and shut standard.
ECU: Old school Motec. 'soon to be updated'
Turbo: TO4 built by ATP, but she blew 2 days ago so it's coming off this week and getting replaced by with a gt35/40
Auto: 2speed power-glide, 3500rpm stall, trans-brake, big trans-cooler
Diff: 9inch, 4:11 'getting a re-built in the next month or 2 with new gears and LSD'
Interior: Custom aarotech seats, water temp gauge, after market steering wheel 'getting new carpet, door trim's & roof liner'
Suspension: Pedders springs and shocks back and front with 90/10's
Brakes: Standard with cross drilled rotors
Wheels: 15inch Interceptors
Car has ran an 11.8 @112mph back in 2002 on slicks and transbrake.
I was told the car ran a 13 flat with the 18inch lenso speed 6's that were on the car and no transbrake. I don't know how much power the car makes or made. My aim is to get 300rwkw and a 9sec pass out of it.

Same same but different. The differences, while small, are the key. The idea is right though
