The New Guy From NewZealand

its reground on a stock roller cam so that would of dictated its split ide say.its custom ground (as much as he can on a stock cam) to suit the setup from the pipe size and length of the headers all the way down to our available diff ratios and while keeping rpm band down in the revs while we run a stock N/A bottomend thats done 300000km LOL. it sims up pretty good max power at 6000-6500 with better head flow numbers punched in the sim it goes further in the revs 7500 or more no way the stock block will go there for long LOL. we could of just used the same cam as in the green car but it seems pretty tame and we need it to sound the part :p
 
Well that makes sense. The fact that you're planning on reving it that high means it should have a pretty good amount of power compared to stock.
 
picks of gts getting its new brakes and the new link pins and bushes

Glad to see you back and updating the thread. What's the conversion from Nm to Ft/lbs though?

its all been built with both front and rear lower arm bolt holes at 180mm off the ground.ive got coil overs for front and rear with unknown spring rates were to suit honda off ebay and only 100 dollars NZ.i can get pairs of springs at any spring rate needed for 120 a pair so once its all mounted up ill be able to test out what i have now and see if i need softer.at the moment i can lift the backend off the ground with the 2 rear cage bars shes light
 
more parts RCA adjusters for the lower arms to straighten the stearing arm geometry to avoid bumpsteer
