It's running a 3.2L GTA engine with a EMS engine mangement system, 240hp ATW's, I,m going to do open days,
maybe supersprints, etc for now (didn't renew my C4 Cams licence), even thinking about putting glass back in, a full exhaust (and a few other things) and getting road rego.

Yeah, one of my favorites - I had/built a quad cam GTV6 some years ago and sold it - miss it every day - mine was a 3L with 220HP ATW's/1050kgs on dunlop slicks and AP calipers - low 20's at sandown and high 40's at the island - ahhhh, i miss it!

That is freakin awesome!  Pretty cruel to tease us like that though, we need a full build story!

What are the coilovers?  How'd you do the louvres on the bonnet?  I saw a thread on the BB where someone had used an E-type Jag louvre, which looked similar.

What's underneath the cut-out in the rear bumper?

Fantastic car, congratulations.

Thanks for the feedback,

To anwers a few questons,

The coilovers are Biltstein, John Milan in Sydney does them with input from Heamens, John Milan built this car ( he built my red 156 GTA that i ran in the 03 Bathurst 2hr and in the PCAA, he does a fantastic job, the thing was bullet proof). The bonnet vent we got from a fellow racer named Carlo from Wollongong, he got a few made up, not sure from where, I was going to get an airconditioning vent made up until I heard about this.

The rear bar cut out is so the lip doen't create air drag, the air has an easlier path to escape, also if i decide to put a street exhaust on it, I will run a dual system out the back, should look OK.

Thanks

Dave

Dave, is this the same car that had a run at the East Coast Challenge at Wakefield recently?  I noticed it is for sale, do you still own it?
