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. A few pics, but will get better ones up soon: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
