welcome to OA, look forward to seeing some pics of the car!
and expressing interest in seats
-edit-
and now that I can see pics, also interested in steering wheel
Hi All
Thought I would post some pics of our new VX-R racecar.
We have built this from a genuine VX-R and have just shipped it to Dubai to race in a 24hr touringcar race in January.
The mods include engine work by Cragsted performance, Forged Pistons, H-Beam Rods, Ballance shaft deletion.
Garret GT28 Turbo upgrade inluding cast manifold. Light weight flywheel and SACHS clutch. CES fitted a stainless 3" system with twin dump pipe.
MCA adjustable dampers and Team Dynamics rims with 235 40 18 Dunlop slicks. We have fitted the whiteline rear adjustable bar also.
Transmission is standard but we have added a Quaife ATB.
Power ended up at 365 BHP , and we have stripped everything out to get the weight down to 1100kg.
We have a custom MOTEC system including Engine management with Drive By Wire, traction control, boost control (driver adjustable) and have retained the factory ABS and Electronic power steering.
The car is great to drive and very fast.
The race is in early January so we are looking forward to see how it goe.
If anyone is intersted I do have all the standard VXR parts that we pulled of (seats trim etc)
Cheers
Ryan

Welcome to the site!
One question to start with, just out of curiosity, how come you had to delete the balance shaft if it was an original vxr? The Z20LEH doesn't have one to begin with.
Nice choice on the rims though Can't wait to see how it goes.
that is a very nice vxr you got. welcome to oa
