Clearance is fairly good, I'm sure it could bottom out on a true b-road with proper bumps but the most of TT circuit has been been resurfaced to help the bikes.

Bear in mind also the suspension is Bilstien coilovers which have less movement than Scoob suspension.

Car is currently being detailed by ValetMagic in preparation for SupraPod on Saturday so (if weather is decent) should get some 1/4 mile times and have a GoPro HD so will also get some videos.

Also booked it in for its 2nd service (middle of August), but decided that was not enough, so adding:
-fuel injectors
-downpipes
-headertank (more than like forge - black)

Then back over to RyanG to map......... are flames out of the exhaust OTT or required ???

If you're adding injectors it will need mapping before you drive it anywhere, unless your uploading a tweak map via the Litchfield ECU cable? Or is Ryan meeting you at the garage?

Will be good to see what it will do on stock intakes

Should entertaining results

No. Didn't think I would need one with Ryan being so close.

That's a shame... Should be a good day.

Awesome vid with a mental car. Went in one a while back with similar power and it just took my breath away.

That video was great, the pace that the GTR covered ground was fantastic... would absolutely love to experience that first hand.

The pictures of the red one post detail are pretty special as well, specially since it's one of my fav colours for a GTR.


Cheers,

Anders WR1 - whats the head room like? I tried one in Singapore but at 6' 2" it was a bit cramped on the headroom for full time ownership. Just wonder if the European versions might be a bit higher inside?

I know Jezzer driove one in Japan and he is 6' 4" but you can drive anything for a few days, but you wouldnt put your own money on it.

I was quite keen until Singapore ...

I'm 6'0" and fit OK, but if you get some serious vertical compressions going your head can get near to the A pillar/roof, so 6'2" may slow you down before the tyres lose contact or you ground, unless you have long arms and can recline the seat more.

Thanks John. I fear my stature may preclude ownership

I don't find headroom a problem and I must be close to 6' 4". On track with helmet I adjust the seat as low as possible using the electric controls and tilt the seat back slightly and this gives just enough clearance.

I don't use the car every day, but I can't see a problem with it - I found it more comfortable to drive 300 miles to the Isle of Man than the Scoob.

With all the additional parts fitted (last weekend), I have the mapping session tomorrow and figured I would give the car a clean today. So up go some pictures (not the best) and a video/sound clip of the exhaust



Forge headertank finishes things off nicely:


Some of the interior wrap:





Sound clip:


While on the base map, Im running low boost and I was a little shocked this morning when I filled up:

I was shocked by that as well... 60l tank. Car is running low boost and base map, but miles so far look like it might be close, will see after the mapping tomorrow
