My NA Race Car build (GTWizards Car)
I have been itching for so long to do a build like this, I really have - I've regretted not doing this with my Stealth as oppose to Twin Turboing it like I did, and I regret even more selling my old 200whp SL from several years back.
As some of you know, I agreed to buy Don Langlois (GTwizards) car from his son Ryan, As soon as I saw it was for sale, I got a hold of Ryan, put a deposit on the car, and bought a plane ticket.
I like to extend a extra big thanks and shout out to Dons son Ryan, and Dons wife - Both were extremely generous and awesome people - They really went out of their way to make my trip easier.
Finally picked up the new car in Texas, and drove it back to Wisconsin - The car was wonderful on the 16 hour drive - I honestly couldn't stop driving it even though I had too, rowing the gears shifting at 8,000 RPMS is everything I always thought it would be on the 6G72, the Throttle response is so quick, and its the most satisfying thing when rev matching down shifts because it takes such little effort on the pedal to get the rpms up.
The sound it makes specifically from the Intake side, is pretty addicting too - reminds me of older naturally aspirated IMSA cars.
I say with confidence its faster than my BPU 10:1 VR4 - especially after jumping in the VR4 right after driving this car... We will find out for sure soon though. It made 240whp last time it was dyno'd that was before the new 4" Intake Manifold, Throttle Body, and Intake piping.
I'll be sure to get some quality videos soon.
I have some really great things in store for this car, it's going to me my 80% Race car/20% street car, while the VR4 will be the opposite...
It will, always and forever be Naturally aspirated - I plan to break the 300whp mark with it relatively soon.
I'm going to start off with cleaning the car up - I want to re do some of the wiring since I'm not crazy about how its done and then the modifications will start, but honestly the car doesn't need much.
I was geeking out over the the HID Yellow Fog Lights that came as a surprise to me when it got dark enough to turn on the lights - This was just out side STL, on the IL side.
Coffee with friends back home the next day. Got to take the car through some turns, feels so light on its feet - even though they are old, the NT01's feel pretty great. Don had a pretty aggressive set of brake pads on the NA brakes that once hot felt pretty great surprisingly..
Much needed car wash
That 4" Intake is glorious - I've got some awesome surprises for this to make it look and work better already in the making *Cough* Carbon fiber duct, and Piping *Cough*
