dude Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Interesting stuff So its the same car that hit the wall? just with a mk4 shell now? any idea on what year the car was first built? Whats involved in getting it re tagged mate? All the damage was to the body and subframe its all been put right, just needs a wheel, I think steve said built in 2002/3. I need to take it to the pod on a certain day and have the tech guys check the chassis and its retagged to 6.49 with unlimited terminal for 3 years.

letmeshowyou Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I took them with one of my first camera phones years ago! The Fast show 2005 judging by the dates. The 2JZ ones are priving harder to find (I remember taking loads of it like that), I'll get there in the end but looks like it's gonna take a while.

sdistc Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 The car was originally built as a Pro Mod (6.70++ @ 220 ++ mph) car with MK3 Supra body, it had a V8 fitted and never ran Pro Mod, prob due to the expense of running that class, Steve Whittaker bought the car and fitted the 2JZ engine and ran in HKS Pro, The Daywalker was the first Jap car to run a 7 sec 1/4 in Europe. The name came from Steves daughter, after he had the colour painted on the body (black) it was in the workshop or a closed trailer and she said it looked evil, like a vampire hence it became The Daywalker, I will run it as Daywalker 2 or Daywalker Undead as Steve was going to call it after the crash where it hit the wall at around 140 mph (it does just over 140 in 1st gear and had changed to 2nd) When it ran the 7.7 it had around 1000hp and a 50 shot of nitrous, we hope to run closer to 1500 + the full 400 shot. Wow, thanks for that. Very interesting backstory, and I look forward to the unveiling of the "Daywalker Undead" Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
