Thar car is any thing but ugly

We used to have one of them, (well, a ta63 at least) it was just a dirt track car though, seems like such a waste after seeing that :oops:

imagine the price tag. im thinking in the hundreds of thousands, the workshop probly charges a bob for their expertise too.

by **Zak** » Sun May 20, 2007 12:33 pm

With that kind of quality, I think they could charge what ever they like and people would pay.

If only I could afford to send my car over there, although if I did, I'd never drive it again for fear of wreaking it :oops:

the model a was crack up the alloys finished in wood vinear(spelt wrong) and fuel system hidden and all the wiring

by **Burning Angel** » Sun May 20, 2007 10:52 pm

does any one have any technical details on the car?

i think the engine is a 4tgte

it looks like the drysump pump drive is an integral part of the front cover assembly and is gear driven.

what is the fuel delivery system?
i cant see any injectors after the throttle body just the small manifold for the map sensor.
maybe draw-through carb under the airbox?

gearbox looks interesting too, steel bellhousing/casings with aluminium sandwich plates

definitly not carbed

in pic 302 you can see what looks to me like a fuel line going to the manifold
in pic 133 you can see it again
looks like fuel going to two spots, so maybe 8 injectors?
4 after the butterflys, and 4 before

maybe the epc will show me

if it does can it also tell me the part number for the valves for the tf106 & the cost :lol:

by **Mr Revhead** » Mon May 21, 2007 1:48 pm

well, untill a recent update the ta64 WAS on the epc..... but not quite like this one!!

i can however, give you the part number for the TRS race car!
its: TRSCAR
now ring ya local dealer and ask for a price on that
:lol:

by **KE25-KP30** » Mon May 21, 2007 6:15 pm

Wow, totally amazing.

You'd wonder who let the car get to that state in the beginning and where it was found!! Under a tree perhaps??

Anyone got any spare Group B cars in their back yards we can have a go at this to? :lol:

Inspiration central tho!!

They didn't seem so keen to tell me... I'm guessing that I wasn't the first to ring.

pic 150 and 151 are a nice contrast to each other.

pic 179 shows the exhaust... is that just an ever widening tube?

I take it that having the wastegate mounted between two flexy's (pic 231) is just for fitment?

does anyone know how much that 11k rpm TRD tacho would cost? or the full set,

by **Sick Puppy** » Fri Jan 04, 2008 1:15 am

'8O' That is an unbelievable amount of work... I don't even want to think about the cost!

The engine got my attention though... I remember seeing an engine like this in a Toyota tuning book from the US. This looks awesome!

Pretty sure they're discontinued now.
We sold a few over the years. About $300 for the tacho & $100 for the gauges if I remember correctly.

by **Mr Revhead** » Fri Jan 04, 2008 1:22 pm

yeah the only guages TRD do know are the sports link system
which is basicly a DEFI set up
look very cool! though would be out of place in that car.
go VDO!

Revhead, that website is amazing. Thanks.

On this subject. Would anyone by chance know of a place to get a picture of the news headline. "Whistling pig brings home the bacon."?

I've searched for it for a long time. Maybe someone has it tucked away in a folder on their pc?

Cheers
Ollie

Um, I doubt it'd be a couple of million, let alone half a million....
