thought it may have been geared differently for top speed to shave of a few more seconds....
awesome display of power and car control...

Well done Glenn, so pleased you guys nailed it on the head.

Yep 74k is believable, my mate spent 82k on his old shape one...he only ever tracked it twice spent most of its life in the Scooby Clinic.

Sadly, if we have to recreate one from new - thats the price inc vat but we expect to export these for £59,995 - we keep asking Evo not to put the full inc vat price

20k in cosworth engine build parts alone...

over 400hrs to build..

at 1.9bar of boost the car is only running 82% duty cycle so engine spec is good for 600bhp

2-door conversions all hand made with the lambourghini colour costing over 1k just for the paint...

Our target was £49,995 all in but sadly we went a little overboard on the spec

Price does include donor car, any wheel or paint choice, delivery to western europe, full driver fitting and a track spares pack and a 12mth warranty.
The Motech M800 ecu has a port so we can log in from anywhere in the world to check how the car is running and make any changes for different fuels boost levels etc.

Gearbox is a jdm unit so very well geared for track use - the final drive ratio (with hindsight) couldve been changed as he was only using medium boost setting (420) and topped out at 160...
We think on the full boost setting at 518bhp/500lbft it would top out at 180+

Remember a few years ago when BMW launched the M3 GTS with only 450bhp and 110k....and so our inspiration was born.
A couple of ferrari customers laughed at it when we said it was an amazing car in the flesh - they all sold and still are amazing cars and probably quicker than a fezza on track anyway

STi should be at Spa in October if anyone wants a passenger ride - same power to weight as an R8 V10 too..

Sonny - never knew you were an ex scooby owner, sure you understand how it can get "carried away"...gulp..!

Hope that explains a little of the high cost

Whatever the cost your team has done a great job on the car and have also done your bit for the North East!
Well done.
