LOL Photoshop - errr no it's real :)
This is an "in-progress" photo, so yes we agree it had to be lowered and this has now been done. Good point though - maybe we should have got it some knobbly tyres ;)
what are the vents in the 3/4s for? (practical or show?)
roof vent! :rolleyes: :no:
apart from that it looks promising

Hi,
The vents in the side are ducted to the boot area, as is the roof vent.
SVA have a boot mounted radiator :) so all practical.

Its fair to say that in the last 4 weeks some serious hours have gone into this project from all of us.
Jason, Steve and Myself have all recently had late nights down at SVA helping Raef/Cricket/Buff/Luis build this. Myself mainly making the tea, buying cakes, Oh and the occasional piece of technical genius (ask me about Metro's - go on I dare ya!!)
fabulous nice to see that kumakubo's subaru idea of the boot mounted radiator has taken root ! I still think replacing the VQ with an RB like in miki's is the only way for these 350's to reach their potential :)

so .. . .. . .. . . metro's :wack:
Jesus love the massive cage and bracing inside that car, it'll be rock solid.
Dunc.
Looks awesome:thumbs:
Lots of hard work gone in there:nod:
I'm going to go against the grain here, I don't like the styling :(

Looks different now it has some graphics on it and the SVA logos etc. The bumpers are all made out of carbon fibre and all the ducting works. The car has a HKS GT3037s bolted to it, but its only running half a bar. Should be nice and punchy though.

I think its a photoshop, but nice :thumbs:
LOL er no.
nice to see that they got the vents all cut in and the rad mounted. its going to be a good car to watch around the track.
i want a go :thumbs:
So after the air has gone through the rad, where does it go then? :D
Are the box shaped holes in the rear bumper vents to the boot, or an exhaust, since I notice there isn't one visible in that picture ...
You know there's only one criticism I can really make, and that is that I don't think that style of rear wing really fits the shape of the back of the 350 :p
SteveDunn
05-04-2006, 20:58
It's better than the wing that was on it :no:
Yep the rear cutouts are exhaust for the air pushed in from the roof and side scoops. The proper exhaust was off when that picture was taken as the car was engineless back then.
Nice, more pics as it progresses please :D
SteveDunn
05-04-2006, 21:39
It's progressed :D She's all done. Sadly we can't release final pics of it until J-Tuner have done their feature... If you happen to go to Donny show thing on the 15th and 16th though you may see some familiar *cough* faces attempting to get their D1 licenses in it :D

Yep :) funniest thing I have seen this week was Mr Dunn trying to get into the Drivers seat lol - its all technique mate ;)
As it happens I didnt fit at all - well I did try but then couldnt get out of the seat and had to have it pulled of me "Carry-On" Styleee
OOoh look that's where my 106 met it's maker (or should i say dappy cow on her mobile) :wack:
Looks cool though, i'll have to go have a look at that thing some time :)

the air flows out the back of the car in the holes cut in the bumper :p
and for the record teh car looks high up there cos its got no engine in it in that picture!!
i REALLY REALLY wish i could put some pics up of the finished article :smitten:

dont do it Jason - or we'll get bitch-slapped by Carlin at the weekend ;)
ps I look better than the car :)

I'm kind of disappointed in a way, it would've been quite cool to see it popping flames out of a wide and flat exhaust in the bumper :D
tbh, not THAT keen. it looks good, but not THAT good. IMO of course :)
ps I look better than the car :)
Ah bollocks, had my hopes up for a bit. Must be a right minger then
