Heres an S13 we are building for a Friend.Ran speed events last year but is now going dedicated racer using all the running gear from 2007 but with better cage and engine set back plus huge slicks and the crappy Jap suspension replaced and a dry sump added.
Basic RB25 has been very reliable so it can stay.
Will add more when the rear flares and huge wheels are fitted.

Looks insane good work...

[Supashake]

The Wings and wheels plus paint should be done in a week or so.
Only hold up is the ATI balancer so we can finish the Dry sump.

[Guido]

Very nice!

What happened to the silva sports sedan tube chassis?

Hopefully sports sedans will become a larger class in WA

[Supashake]

Evan cant make up his mind with the tube frame job so its for sale,The DR30 may be setup for Sports sedan next season or an EVO for IP But the guys are sick of formula RX7. Theres a few Sports sedans in the build and a few Streetcars going to make the move and if Streetcar falls over the lot will go the same.

[F|sh]

Yeap understand able. I hear lots of tough racecars being built in bunbury now becuase of paul stubbers new workshop down there.

That will be quick, S13's etc give me the shits, so much good off the shelf stuff for them its disgusting (for those who are good stuff deprived) :)

[Supashake]

I wish,My son had to make everything for this one.Normal S13s are easy for parts but theres not a lot of S13 left in this car.

[260DET]

So what is being done with the suspension? Dumping the strut front/multilink rear?

[spunkrat]

That S13 is tidy. I love S13's. Mine has RB25 conversion done as well, although it is as a street car and a drift car, so it is a little more.... tame... than this one haha.

Nice work though, looks the goods.

[Supashake]

Some pics of wheels added.Playing with flares under way.

[Monk]

Looks pretty cool so far, expecting for it to do okay?

[Supashake]

It did last year as a stock body'd S13 but it got throw'n out of Road regoed class so it was time to go for it.

[Gammaboy]

Some pics of wheels added.Playing with flares under way.

Are those rear flares Mk1 Escort front flares (ie an escort Right hand front on the left hand rear?)?

[Supashake]

They are and still need lots of work to finish.

[Supashake]

Painted today testing friday but dont expect much till the lots sorted and the drivers upto speed.

[Supashake]

This car was not ready to race but Steve ran it on the weekend anyway and managed 2nd for the 2days.Suspension is not nice so we have lots of work to do there but it was Steves 1st race meeting so a good 2 days anyway.

[F|sh]

what class was he in Steve? or was nathan and the other V8 supercar not class as supersedans?

[Supashake]

runs SP not SS,Walter was first then Steve.

[Supashake]

The S13 was 1st outrite today at Wanneroo Sprints,Only did 1st heat because of a strange boost issue,Steve wanted 60s today but with the day cut short 61.4s had to do tho it was still 1st.

[flopper]

do you have any more pics?

[Supashake]

Should be in a few hours.
Suspension and Gearbox are next upgrade,Poor old RB25 box wont last much longer.

[Supashake]

2nd again today but down to 60s so still faster and beat some V8 Supataxis. Wastegate gave trouble so boost was down by 5psi and the latest wheel alignment is a dog so we need rent some gear and do it ourselves.
Still hoping for 59s before we build a real engine and replace the stock RB25 box.

[Lurch]

A mate & myself were at Flag Point 3 today & saw this running.
Look's fairly impressive & to beat the Supertaxies is a bounus ;)

[Supashake]

It lacked power this weekend as the Turbodumb wastegate was shagged,New Tial gate and a PPG it should see 59s.

Can't get it to hook up, It eats the Ex Toll V8 Supataxi tho

[profi]

Supershake if you don't mind me asking, what sort of gear is in the engine?

[Supashake]

Its 4 years old, Beats most Ex V8 Supercars.
RB25, Stock head with Poncams, CP pistons,Rev rods and Dry Sump, Greddy intake 6boost exhaust manifold,Wolf V500 ECU. Very basic.
Full race RB30/26 with spool 3.4 crank and a nice budget for next season.

[evil_weevil]

Sounds unreal!!

[Supashake]

This thing is racing today.
Wet qualifying so started 7th behind mostly V8 Supercars and an Ultrasport.
Won race one outrite and the good thing is we fitted a good camerain the car so Ill post the Vid in a few days. Good old RB25 engines.

Lucky its only stuffed a rim and strut.

[profi]
