I have the Racepak Smartwire (the one Haltech sells as you mentioned) but there is a huge difference between the Cartek small power module and a full CAN based power module connected to a data logger, feel free to give me a call if you like.
 
Not sure on weight yet.
 
Engine details will come but will be a 5SGTE around 400HP maybe, with E153 as said maybe dog gears, obviously LSD ect
 
Brakes to come.

I have a Borg Warner EFR 6758 with the high boost wastage actuator, turbo rpm sensor, boost controller, metal CRV cover ect fitted
 
Its rated 275-500HP, altho sometimes listed 275-450HP so dunno, hopefully it will be bigh enough, im not wanting high HP dyno figures to brag about, i just want a nice amount of power but responsive.

Are you building this for any particular class? 
2013/07/14 19:33:33

Yes and no.
 
It will be entering a few different style of races / events which each have there own regulations and classes so which class ill be in ill be making sure i comply with that class, for example world time attack would be OPEN class.

You can run the car in AASA events at most tracks in Vic. You can run it at Supersprints at any location but it would be great to see it at the Winton and Wakefield 300.
There is also a time attack series at Winton and Wakefield where WTAC cars prep for the Eastern creek WTAC round.
Would be great to see you throw the old running gear in it and come the MTC in 2014! Will be the maddest car there.

Wicked love the video. Its great to see this ride rise from the ground literally. 

Strange question but does the drivers side front rod setup get in the way when driving or did it take some getting used to?

I love the build. Would love to see this ride in action.

Well i havent driven with it yet, but no its not in the way, theres a good amount of room between my leg/ankle and the jack. I have some thick FIA padding on there at the moment which is quite thick and still enough room.
 
Due to my pedal box, the accelerator pedal is much more inboard then the factory one, also i have moved the seat and wheel as much inboard as i can, which isnt much at all. (for safety from side impact and weight distribution ect)

Very nice. Can you change the valving to balance out the way it lifts? Certainly something is a little out.
It looks like the standard brakes still on the car. When and what are you changing too? There are some really nice ex NASCAR caliper/discs available on ebay.

Cannot wait to see this up and running.
