You did huh Alex... its a 427 motor bored and stroked to 488 (8ltrs) , 640 hp and around 580 trq all wrapped into a short wheel base - beast

 

Haha oi, watch your langauge:P

I bet that thing is pretty fun

 

its chaotic... will bring it over one Friday.

 

Hehe ok I'll be watching for lotsa smoke

 

hate to just mention the color - but i have to say that the white and black looks amazing

 

Don't be sorry at all I'm with you... I wanted to order white/black back in the day but couldn't. So it was green for me...

 

Joe Rogan's car looks bad ***!!

 

That thing looks gorgeous! I know it's kind of off topic, but every time I see a GT3/GT3RS/GT2 engine outside of the car, I can't help but think about how heavy the intake manifolds look. I bet if someone came out with a CF intake that's not ridiculously priced, let's say in the $2,500ish range, they'd sell like hot cakes. Lose lots of weight, all in the right place, high and in the rear. I've seen a few made, but they're all crazy expensive. I love the GT3RSR's intakes, wow they're beautiful! Couple the weight loss of that along with the weight loss of an aftermarket exhaust and balance would be getting better and better. I know, just go on a diet and do the driver weight loss mod

 

Keyser and myself would be in for a $2.5k carbon manifold that worked!

Has anyone done individual intake/throttle body/trumpets like you see on the aircooled cars?

 

I'm assuming the RSR is running Alpha-N or equivalent, as I don't see a MAF or a place for a MAF. If someone can find one there are quite a few CF manufacturers here in the states. Eddie at RPW may be able to help us out...

 

Already have investigated this. Cost is unreal. Intake plenum in CF roughly is about $15,000.
I spend money but that's stupid money for not much more than eye candy.
Anyway we've figured out another way to "skin the plenum" issue.

\m/

 

Great job Alex!

 

Thanks man I think the owner is stoked
Those things are pretty of course however the stock one isn't all that heavy and remember cup/race cars don't have to have a nasty/heavy-ish air/smog pump attached up high. Me thinks the carbon wouldn't be so happy with that Not to mention the cost.

LOL 2.5k ok sign me up- well maybe not, I'd hate to see fitment/cracking and FOB damage in an expensive motor Overlay maybe but even those guys charged an arm and a leg. I think the the mk2 factory one is so darned good that you'd be picking at straws trying to make it better. Then there's the stuff I mentioned above;(

Seems more realistic. There's a lot better ways to drop 15k

Thanks man!

 

Wereu able to find out what screen/head unit is installed in this car. Thanks

 

Darn I'm sorry I would say just ask Ernie @ sound innovations in Hayward as he did the install
