Type R V5 422bhp Sprint Car

It's time for her to go. Some of you will know this car and it is one of the quickest, if not the quickest on the Island.

Won the Manx vs Visitors Jurby Straightliners event last year posting a 12.3 second quarter mile @ 122mph. That was on the old turbo and road tyres. This should easily pull mid/low 11's now. The new turbo flows so much more air, especially at the top end where the old one struggled. To give you an idea, Bray Hill 2006 it pulled around 135mph whereas this year it hit the rev limiter in 5th 3 times before braking (thats around 155mph).

Also took overall victory in the Manx Classic 3 Hills in April this year beating Mr Dangerfield in his Caterham R500.

0-60mph comes in around 3.5 seconds and power to weight ratio is around 376bhp/ton

If you are selling the car, is there any other parts that you are looking to sell?

Great car

10 out of 10 for trying John but you got to be quick round here you know, I have had many of Andrews cast offs from this car.

Good luck with the sale mate, I am sure it will go to a good home and be well looked after. Would be nice to see it stay on the Island though.

Dave have you asked if he has any injectors that may fit your bill?

As chances are this motor didn't go straight to this size if injector.

Mind you as its a bought engine unit it might have.

Hay, if you don't ask....

You don't get

I sold my 440 injectors some time ago - the nissan 200sx boys are always on the look out for them. I did have a set of 850s, but settled on the 720s as the spray pattern of the 850s was not as good.

My engine was not a bought unit - it was built to an agreed spec by Steve Guirey (SMG) over almost a year and many many telephone conversations with him. Steve is now squeezing around 1,000bhp out of his 2.5 litre and running low 9 second quarter miles! The last time I spoke to him he had just put his car on Surrey Rolling road for mapping and got 850bhp at 1.4bar before he blew the headers off. His car now runs 2bar with a 50bhp nitros shot (which can be upped to 150bhp shot).

My engine is very similar spec to one of his old ones, just with some better bits and is easily capable of sustaining over 550bhp, just needing a bigger turbo and remap to achieve this (oh and stronger gearbox)!

Sorry ASTiMAN,

I can see its a custom built job, what I meant was its not a home build job, and the specialists tend to always keep things if they take them off to upgrade. As they can use them or sell them on to the next bod.

Top car, somebody could get a great competition car ready to go.

Whats next one your wish list?

Nothing at the moment I just want to to free up some cash to get my house finished!

Sorry to hear you wrote off the P1 at the weekend - I hope you are ok.
