Kip Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Yep, it does exist Yep, I have seen it And yes, I did see under the bonnet. Oh, and did I forget to say its soon to be a 4.2 V8 twin turbo with manual 6 speed box. All thanks to a Lexus Soarer lump. I recon you will all be seeing it pretty soon, I beleive it's off to the jap meet this weekend in its N/A form and then off to the JAE with turbo's. And I must just say now that I have your attention, Ibrar at Pro Alloys is a top man, sorted me out with some Toyo T1r's at a fantastic price, F1's available also at a good price and he does ship, so no need to worry if your not in the midlands. Big thanks to Ibrar, my car now behaves and feels like a Supe should. [-][/-] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 That can't be cheap though- twin turboing a Lexus V8- surely for the money you could buy a LS7 Corvette engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Absxxxx and I saw this, nice car. I think they are going to change the gearbox to a manual but I don't think it's going to be the V160. Incidently they had an AC cobra on their rollers from Luton......I think it's a 7.0L V8 Twin Turbo and they had trouble keeping it on the rollers....800+ lb/ft torque! Abs has been in it and said that this is a *FAST* car! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supRo Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Now thats torque! I think they had to stop at 810 lb/ft torque as it was cooking the dyno cell things on the Dyno machine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I saw this car when they first started it up and believe me it will blow you away with the sound! I saw a couple of turbo ideas they had and this car is gonna be massive. Keep trying to find excuses to go down and see it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagman Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Gazboy has the right idea corvette engine is the way to go and still have change from the price of a single turbo upgrade without all the hassle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Am glad this brought up, no one believes me its a Supra in the Gillette advert as the shots are too quick, but its obvious by the headlights..... Also 260 odd torque is low, sure the Supe makes nearly as much torque as it has bhp....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
