Wooooow nice one Blade That's a great beast to drive I assume.
Everything on this car is just perfect, I mean the engine (6.2 Naturially aspirated V8) and just a great bodywork and look. Btw is it a manual or automatic transmission?
Agree, love the SBC V8, much torque in such small engine, no wonder it's the most prefered engine for drifters, kitcar builders, etc. can't beat that package!
I went drifting for the first time in almost 3 years on the weekend in my Skyline, had a few small issues and it was 40+ degrees celsius and I couldn't do full laps as the car really didn't like the heat but still great fun, wasn't able to get much in car footage but linked a few pics and a video from the side of the track below.
Here's an update to my car. Currently in the UK at a specialized company to build costum turbo kits.
Zurawski Motorsport. He's one of my sponsors for this season and he's doing all the fabrication work to my car.
Looks good. I've seen the first pic few days ago on FB and was wondering about the cooling, that's a pretty badass cooler there. It's all clear now. Will it be finished by the start of the season?
Adding turbos to N/A engines gets always a like from me. I would probably end up doing the fabrication work myself for project like that, but it must be pretty epic to have a sponsor who can do that stuff for you.
Yeah, I was first looking at just buying parts myself and build it at home but I wanted something that's very competitive respond wise etc.. The equal flow intake plenum, anti-lag and decent exhaust manifold make worlds of difference. Where 500-600bhp or more cars get full boost above 4000rpm, I'd be around 2000-2500 on full boost. Specially on some more technical tracks it's a massive difference. I'll be close to 500bhp so that's enough for me. (As last year I became third in a big championship with only about 330-340bhp N/A (= not much torque from a 6cyl )
