tDR Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I'd say we build it to TOTB spec.......... that is, barely road legal enough to qualify and hopefully win big - built crate engine from one of the big US tuners, Y2K turbo or similar, TH400 tranny and lets see 8's in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 good idea this .ewen another day dream ! ----a Supra run by the club in the british gt championship you just need enough sponsers and a good team to run it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 would be fun... interested in seeing it getting built, know almost nothing about engines, but want to learn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 mmmmm. how about a raffle at £100 a ticket to club members only, some sponsership money, and we then buy one build it up to what we would like it to be, keep it street legal, and the winner of the raffle gets to keep it as there own car and keeps up the every day costs as in tax, insurance, etc, but the car still is the property of the club, and the winner has to allow certain members to take to club meets shows etc, if the winner cannot make it, then we get to do smaller raffles later on for the chance to have a go on the track or drag strip, obviously with free tuition from the more experienced members ie chris wilson ect:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Lovely idea guys, but I don't think it will ever work... Hell, we can't agree on which bits to put on our own cars at the best of times, never mind when it is part owned by all members. Nice sentiment though.

Branners Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 we could put the various bits to a poll and see what comes out. Carlos Fandango wheels and bad bwoy bonnets may be the order of the day. I am discussing this with the other mods to see if it might be a goer. I think the sheer costs involved might stop it happening but you never know. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffSupra Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I will pay up as long as we get a 'Seriously FMIC' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I have some race bits I can donate: 5Kg seat Race battery (varley red top) 6 Point Willans harness 3 Layer race suit & skid lid (in my size only ) etc And possibly some sponsorship in the way of prep work on engine, transmission, shell, suspension etc by my former employer?

He's up for it as long as it never appears in print between the legs of a 'model'. People dont usually expect the 'find the sun' in places like that:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henk Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I think it's a great idea. I am seriously mechanically challenged so I would express no opinion on parts as I don't know a BOV from a sparkplug. I'd love to contribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I can't see it happening, as well as arguments about its purpose and how to get it to said purpose there will be arguments about who does the work who gets to drive it etc etc. There are also the cost implications, how many paid up members do we have that regularly contribute 350 ? What sort of budget are we talking ? Assuming we could get a base car cheap enough it would still be over 10 K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
