8 years after the start, she is done!

[mclaren55]

Well almost, I have some tiny things to complete still, like finishing the interior.

However, I have been driving her around finally, and I have to say it feels good. I started this build almost 8 years ago, and its taken a lot of time and patience but she is done for now.

It is a built 3.5L with twin GT3082R's, TEC IIIR, twin plug/injectors, etc. RSR widebody done by Legendary Motor Car, Kenises wheels, etc. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

It made 540whp/540wtq on pump gas, using SC cams (holding the car back a bit), but the thing weighs in at 2200lbs right now, so it feels pretty strong on the road.









Big thanks to all those involved, specifically Marco, Tom, Dave and Nick of SEM Motorsports in Toronto (I appreciate the work, free storage, teaching, and time!). The guys at Legendary Motor Car in Milton for putting up with my **** for months, Jason. All the people who donated their time and energy for the bits and pieces.

Congrats and welcome to the forum!

That is a great looking machine with a perfect stance, clean and mean + impressive numbers.

I would like you to share more details on the twin turbo, and intake system arrangement.

Thanks!

What specifically were you wondering about in terms of the intake/turbo's?

We use modified 3.2 intake manifolds, the turbo's are gt3082r's, filters right on the compressor housings. The intercooler was made by SEM (Marco).

If you are interested in the actual routes we took with the charge pipes, etc., I will take some pictures for you.

cams are holding the car back a bit? 540whp + 2200lbs = warp speed. you are only being held back from ludicrous speed

nice work! please enjoy it in health.

[PoloTurbo]

Wow. Very impressive build. Must be so awesome to drive.


Enjoy it safely.

"If you are interested in the actual routes we took with the charge pipes, etc., I will take some pictures for you."

Exactly, yes.

I know this car and have pictures of it from 5 or more years ago, not sure if you were the owner back then or not but remember when the widebody was grafted on it and it was painted blue. I take it that you are in the Toronto area?

Car looks great and congratulations, must be an awesome machine to drive.

Hey Yas, yes I was the owner back then. I purchased it when it was yellow and blue turbo widebody. Thanks, and it is great to drive it again!

[vas930]

Congrats on the car.
That thing looks awesome.
Well done.

Any under engine pics ?

[Rodsrsr]

Car looks awesome, great build! If I were to be super critical (only because it's so nice ) I would space out the rear wheels a little bit or go with a wider rear tire. I know, I know I'm being picky.

[mclaren55]

Hey guys thanks for all the comments!

Vas930 - I don't have any under engine pics, but when I get back to Toronto, I'll take some for you.

Rodsrsr - I agree, however if I push them out to where I want them, the car rubs severely under hard acceleration. Sacrifice a little in the looks department, for a gain in the drive-ability department. The tires are the widest I could get at the time as well, 355's.

Holy crap, Batman! Nice work. But you gotta stop this tendency to "hold back". Let 'er rip, I say!
Do us a favor and feed our lust....post a video of thing at full tilt boogie.

[proffighter]

I'd like to see a lot of pics of the built, of course with a lot of information about each pic

Sorry, forgot to congrat to your beautiful car!

[RarlyL8]

Wow!

I think you misinterpreted what I said, the camshafts are holding the car back, with the new cams I am putting in it, she should make over 600whp on pump gas. Trust me, I don't hold back . As for video's, I'll see what I can do, but I'm not much of a video/picture guy.

proffighter - Unfortunately my old computer with all of my build pictures on it was stolen. If anyone remembers the car or saved photo's, feel free to post them. As I stated above I'm not much of a picture guy, but I'll take photo's while I am doing the cams and interior this winter.

Thanks again for the accolades guys, its much appreciated.
