TexaST-1 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 What a beast!!!! Is that a Buick GN motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman7 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 And to think I had the only 3.8 powered FC. Judging from the floorpan in the rear, it looks as if you have gone with a live axle, just curious as to why. Also, what transmission is backing that beast?

ryannterror Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Haha thanks Yes its a Buick GN 3.8. I went with a live axle for gearing 4.11 was just to high. also the 8.8 setup is about 100 to 200lbs lighter then factory TII setup. Rears hung on a 3 link setup. Trans is a t5. I have a straight cut dogbox gear set for it that will soon be going in. Hope to have the car out in Nov at NJ Motor sports park for testing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 you're going to be under 5.5lbs/hp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryannterror Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 Yeah i could run in ST1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakeem Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Nice looking build! I have an SU FC that I am switching to ST1 as we speak, you can see the build and info here: http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=767875 With the 3rotor turbo I was 2450lbs wet not including driver...I could probably have saved another 50-75lbs if really necessary, but was already making ~540rwhp at 11psi and could have gone up to about 18-19psi safely. I decided though that SU was not a realistic battleground for me and I would be better served in ST1. Let me know if you need any info on the brakes, suspension etc as I have probably (painfully and expensively) gone through some of the hurdles you will encounter on your build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryannterror Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 took the car out for a long shake down drive drives amazing. then on the way home the thrust on the turbo went.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman7 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 That sucks to hear, but if that is the only problem to surface on it's first shakedown run, your not to bad off. How about some updated pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryannterror Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hey guys some updates on the car been to a few events trying to work out all the bugs.... I run drifting event at englishtown raceway so just been shaking it down on the road course Motor has been amazing. Other then few small problems with aftermarket coils taking a crap….. I finally have the hydraulic E brake setup working no more shearing off the mounting bolts. The car is super loose once it comes out due to panhard bar placement and overall suspension setup. I’ve moved the bar so hopefully next event the car will drive proper……. Over the past few months I’ve added a few things to the car one being a straight cut Dogbox transmission from G-Force. The trans is amazing but stupid loud! The car seems to be ready nw for some real track days next season i plan to run in the redline time attack and few hill climbs Anyways here’s a few pics of the car and a short video.
