My dream car!

 

My first car in std 9 was a 67 Fleetline kombi like this, with a split windscreen and hinged doors. Bought it in 85 for R800 and sold it in Cape Town to a surfer dude who wanted something to take his dogs to the beach in, for R4000 a few years later. Had a lot of k@k with it as I drove it hard, like a lot of young punks would... When I take my current classic to car meets, I still perve over the old Kombis... They are special.

What's the current classic, mate?

but what if you only race for 4 minutes and hit big jumps???

 

Dude - read the chart and extrapolate - you'll be 2.64 seconds behind. Big jumps don't matter, suspension doesn't matter, geometry doesn't matter - it's all about the wheel size.

 

Man these downhill okes are thick :devil:

Talking about dream cars, mine will be the following.

Nissan 200SX (S13 model, the one with the pop up headlights and hints of Porsche 944 in body style) The S14 and S15 variants looks too much like an Toyata Camry from the side :whistling: But on the S13 body I want to fit the front end of the S15 (those things looks mean from the front) with a wide body kit. It will then be what is known as the S13.5. As far as I know this has never been done in SA. (I know of one where the Nissan Silvia's front end was fitted to the S13, called the Sil80)

 

Rip out the 1800cc CA18DET motor and put in an SR20DET (2000cc) This motor stock produces up to 183kw at the flywheel (not too shabby for an motor that was produced in 1999). On this block I want to fit the head from the NEO VVL (or SR20VE). This has variable timing on both cams, not just the exhaust cam like the DET motor. This head also flows a lot better than the DET head.

Next to follow will be a 2.2 Stroker kit with Darton sleeves. A bigger turbo on a decent Top Mount manifold, decent size intercooler, and other little odds and ends will also be fitted. An aftermarket Management System will be used to get it to work properly.

This motor should (on high boost) be able to produce in excess of 500BHP reliably.

Complete suspension change will also be done with coil overs, performance torsion bars, sway bars etc. Bigbrake upgrade will obviously also be done.

 

This should then give me a nice toy for trackdays and 1/4 mile racing

 

Now I must just win the LOTTO!!!!!

Didn't one of Frank Zappa's kids change their names, think it was his daughter. I'd do that.
