Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Whilst I have not seen the car since the Turbo conversion, Baz is one of those perfectionists and this will no doubt be an excellent car, with as he says lots of little extra's to make it perform just right. Sorry to see you selling it Baz, but best of luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzer Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Cheers Nick I am just not using it so its shame to have it sitting in the garage. I have not really used it properly for about 2years now. So its time to move on I think. It does drive really nicely now since I fitted the emerald and had Dave Walker map it. It is surprisingly easy to drive for such a powerfull light car. I know you love the supercharger, but the turbo does work really well on the Busa. Its little things that make a car. Before I turbod the car with the standard setup, I was limited by the oil temp as too how many laps I could do. Now it runs until the fuel runs out and stays cool, with more power :-) Bazzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzer Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Thanks for sorting the pictures and thanks for the nice comments. Could do with a nice suede Momo steering wheels to finish it off though. I will leave that to the new owner whoever that is :-) Bazzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzer Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Cheers Think I will take it out at the weekend if its nice. Been ages since I had it MOT'd might make me want to keep it :-) Bazzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregaldo Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Very Nice. Can anyone tell me where you get those side panels from? Ive converted mine from clams and that would improve it loads by covering the holes. I thought the only way I could get rid of them was to get a new tub.

Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 http://www.carbonmods.co.uk/Departm....ic.aspx they will probably be the original panel cut and repositioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzer Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 The ones on my car were home made so they could be longer to allow for an overlap, those carbon ones linked above are very sexy though :-) Bazzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananaman Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Nice car, i bet it goes like stink! Would be a real contender in classes 'F' or 'H' in Speed Series!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzer Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Hi Bananaman Didnt you have get a duratech with a sequential just before I gave up trackdays ? If so you till got it ? I is an awsome track car so I don't see any reason why it would not be competative in the right hands in speed events. Its primarily been developed as a track day car that can do lots of laps without overheating etc. But the extra torque from the turbo makes it a bit nicer on the road than a standard Busa. Not that a standard busa is that bad on the road anyway. Bazzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
