    the dyno passed uneventful. Top readings of the mostly stock engine were 156hp and 112 torque #s. Not bad for a 1650" car. I'l post the results when I receive an electronic copy.

    I have been focused on solving a problem causing another minor delay. We erred in our calculations re final drive ratio in the Quaife. We have a 3.767:1 and need a 2.25:1 ratio.

    Top speed is 98 mph at 11000 rpm. It's "bury your but in the seat accelleration" especially with the 'quickshifter'. I beat a Hayabusa bike from a light. Amazing. Easy to understand though. His engine runs to 185mph and I have condenced the 185 to 94. Until the new gear arrives, definitely not a daily driver but one hell of a ride.

    $345 +150 shipping overnight (really means 'in a week')from UK.

    Finally, it's back in the driveway. Off to paint on Monday.

    Hi there, awesome job.

    I havent been on here for a fair while but this was always something I wanted to do.

    Once this is finished will you be making a kit available for others to carry out the same thing?

    If so, do you have any idea of a price range?

    Well done so far and i look forward too seeing the finished product!

    Cheers

    the main points of the mod are fairly straightforward - it's the details that'll get you:

    1. electrical: chassis harness downstream of the fwd fusebox remains unchanged. all beat engine bundles running fwd are removed. the busa harness is modified per readily available online schematics. using the busa instrument cluster, allows for direct link with the busa engine and fuel signals. only the turn signals and highbeam leads are taken from the chassis. the beat fuel tank sensor and pump feed the busa fuel gauge and engine without recalibration or starvation. the beat aft fusebox now feed the busa ecu instead of the beat ecu. although the busa stator is wired in parallel with the ext alternator, a simple quick disconnect assy removes the signal during normal use. the assy can be joined without tools incase of an emergency (broken belt or). the ext alternator feeds the fusebox and ecu. the temp sensor leads to the electric fan switch. the quaife has an internal reverse gear switch for the rear lights.
    2. clutch: the busa hydraulic sys is routed to the beat sys
    3. AC; aftermarket compressor uses existing wiring without issue
    4. engine subframe: simple efficient design
    5. shifting sys: new cable from the shifter to the busa trany and new cable from the shifter to the quaife
    6. throttle: same beat cable
    7. speedo: 'speedo-healer' installed to adjust reading
    8. cv axles: reversed rh and lh positions. fab'd inbd shaft receptables for mounting on the quaife. purchased an extra set of rear wheel hubs to accept std locally obtainable shafts. will disassembly the drive sys next winter and examine wear points to see if the mod is recommended.
    9. suspension: swap coils and struts

    a kit? no I don't think so.

    after collecting dust for the last month awaiting the painter, really bummed.

    FIRST DRIVE AFTER PAINT. NOTE THE INSTANT SHIFTING 1ST, 2ND AND INTO 3RD AS A RESULT OF THE 'QUICKSHIFT' SYSTEM. TOMORROW WILL START FINAL ASSY: CANARDS, SOFT-TOP, FRONT AND REAR MESH PANELS, HEAT AND SOUND PROOFING AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER UPHOLSTERY.

    Incredible! I just went back thru your past videos and am embarassed for having bugged you about the silly stereo enclosure stuff.

    But I had no idea you are in Cal! How did you get the car registered there in the first place???

    Looking forward to some interesting track numbers.
