hey guys. a friend and i purchased an aw11 a few years back and had several ideas on a project. the intention was always going to be to race it. it already came with a silvertop 20v in it. but the engine was definitely on its last legs. we purchased another engine in and installed it alot neater then previously. and then entered our first race with standard engine. we did alot better then expected and acutally won our class. which only sparked the bug alot more. so the project began. we decided to rebuild the original engine that was in the car. it started off as purhaps some cams and go from there. but now the list looks like this

i should point out that currently the machine work is being done. engine build has not yet started. hope to be all done by august. hoping for around 200bhp on octaned up pump fuel for now. still deciding whether or not it is worth converting to e85. i understand what needs to be done for that.
other things done to the car are. whiteline swaybars. king springs which are bad and need to be replaced... soon. enkei rims with toyo rubber. soon to be upgraded to awesome proxxis. custom exhaust back from standard extractors. everything we can possibly take out has been, car is very light. battery is about to be relocated to front. just snapped a handbrake cable and instead of getting another cable to fix the bad system aw11's have. we made a custom hydraulic handbrake using a landcruiser clutch master cylinder and alot of custom work by us :P (HAVE to post pics of that bad boy)
things we are after include. HKS 4-1 EXTRACTORS and EXCEDY CLUTCH PLATE AND PRESSURE PLATE...body wise. we need 2 front guards, front bumper and im on the list for retro-spec's c pillar and front bar. thats is all at this stage. will possibly need more...
but as project begins i will post up pics. please leave any feedback possible. any help is helpful. thankyou
