I'm moving on from the Toyota and onto something just as spicy, for track days and sprinting. This is an off the hoof walk around with me umming and aahing for some time... I have no idea what the whole bundle is worth. Obviously each component would be worth more sold off separately, rather than as a whole, but I don't have the time (patience) or space to do this. And TBH I would rather see it go to someone who wants to race it properly as a package, one of my old TSS buddies maybe? Engine & Turbo & Cooling Standard ST205 head and OEM steel head gasket Bottom end sourced from a 2WD 3SFE via Jaz Singh , externally ground back to accept the 4WD transfer casing. This is the significantly stronger fully cast block - you cannot get any stronger without 1. Filling the bottom end with concrete or 2. Buying the CNC machined onepiece block that's recently become available at HUGE cost. Oil squirters from a Honda Civic EP3 Type-R86.5mm JE pistons 2618 alloy. very strong, perfect for getting hammered all day at big boost. Forged conrods from a batch Fensport had made up, definitely not chocolate. Billet maincaps made from tool steel, from a batch made by Muneeb Masters Bottom end assembled and balanced (inc flywheel and clutch) by the local experts at Scholar Engines - a very very reputable company - https://www.scholarengines.com/ TTE injectors Aftermarket FPR with visual pressure gauge Bespoke (actually prototype!) oil warmer "donut" replacement cover from our engineering expert friends at NYX (they also design roller coasters!) went from 3D printed prototype to CNC machined final article in a weekend! Garrett GT3071 turbo with external wastegate, routed back into the exhaust. The exhaust itself is 3", custom made and is 3" all the way to the backbox. In a work of engineering masterclass, it bends over the rear driveshafts perfectly, thanks to the skills of Alex at SC Engineering -  https://www.sc4x4.co.uk/en/shop/ The backbox is the largest off the shelf item from Jetex, so it's relatively quiet but free-flowing, no problems at any venues for sound, even Croft! It's all stainless steel too, the whole exhaust end to end. The engine has been fully run in on the dyno at Hybrid Tune and is ready to race. https://www.hybridtune.co.uk/ ECU Motec M4 Pro with logging and launch control unlocked. The engine is mapped to 1.8bar, however I usually run at 1.5 for daily fun, only turning the boost up when needed. Boost is controlled by a tiny knob on the steering wheel surround. As is ignition kill and the starter button. Suspension Whiteline adjustable rear anti rollbar Fully adjustable and rose jointed rear control arms (all of them)HKS Hiper Max III suspension with new springs, 10kg/mm front, 8kg/mm rear. A good spec for a car that spends most of its time being driven hard on circuit. Gearbox & Diff & gear shifter & Prop ST205 standard gearbox and rear LSD diff, a custom made split-shifter, to allow for the significantly rearward driving position. Carlos Sains shifter knob. Otherwise it's a standard ST205 shifter mech. The propshaft is a one-piece carbon fibre with CNC machined ally fittings, came from the US via our mate Lou Brooks Dash Dash 2 Pro - the really good one that's fully UK MOT road legal, lots of inputs and outputs. a superb piece of kit. https://www.race-technology.com/wiki/index... Cage & seating position Incredibly comprehensive welded in rollcage, extending to front and rear suspension turrets. X shaped door bars and a roof bar too. The steering column has been extended to allow for the driver seat to be moved back as far as possible for centre of gravity reasons, hence the gear shifter mech also modded to suit. The seat is a sparco ultra. Fuel tank Custom made aluminium tank holding 40-50 litres (can't remember what I specced, but I do have cool photos of it being made), with anti surge baffles and a working fuel level sensor (which is calibrated in 500ml increments plus interpolation on the dashboard fuel readout) Power Steering Peugeot something or other electric power steering pump Wheels & tyres & brakes All wheels are 17". The slick tyres mentioned later are on some very lightweight DOTZ forged wheels, also very wide. these are the "best" wheels. Also a set of compomotive TH3 with the wet/road tyres for when its standing water. I can't recall what the wheels are on it right now, but they're wearing the Nangang AR1 which are legal for sprinting. Godspeed 335x32 front discs with AP 4 pot calipers. ST205 standard rear brakes. Dual MC brake setup with adjustable bias reachable from the drivers seat. Laptop The car comes with a dell laptop loaded with all the software and cables needed to communicate with the Motec ECU and Dash 2 Pro. couple of spare batteries too. There are loads of other spare parts too, and not shown on the video are the side skirts which finish off the body kit. This huge intro comment is basically just a brain dump.
