Very nice looking PT Timbo, well done.

Toyota R154 5 speed with powertrain tripple plate clutch
TRD 2 way LSD Supra diff
Toyota Soarer front and rear suspension

V8 and TURBO!

335kw in a PT.

Very impressive.

Must go alright.

Timbo I have been asked by a PT "addict" in NL who has family in NZ ... where do U hide your PT ?? .. next time he is over he would LOVE to meet & greet!! ...

Yes it goes real well
Just fitted some Bridgestone F1s and now gets some traction in second as long as the shift is not to quick otherwise just goes straight to the rev limit
Have a set of 275s Dot Drag radials coming from the States to give it a good go on the dragstrip

I live in Whitford Auckland

Hi Timbo, very impressive do you have anymore pics to do with the under tray of the vehicle

regards Chris

Here are some during the build

OMG wow !! & double wow .. what a BIG job ... phantom & I may be across the ditch soon ... thanks to NAVICO & Northstar ... ex NAVMAN marine!!! not sure what when or where yet !! I'll Pm U if it is to the NORTH !!

The Phantom checking out a V8 PT.............. I bet Plums & Roses will be shaking in her frilly nightie when she finds that info out...................

Hi Timbo,thanks for the other pics,did you encounter any major problems when doing the project.You must of been patient and how did you go around choosing the motor and other hard ware for the project

regards Chris

Have been building odd ball vehicals since about 13 so with 30 + years you get to think 2 steps ahead otherwise u have to redo things that dont fit
We piced Toyota as Soarer was 10mm widder in track and 15mm longer in wheelbase so I new it would handle well with those components
The Toyota Lexus V8 is light and strong and very compact
R154 toyota gearbox real strong for the torque as the boys run them in the Twin turbo Supras up to 750hp
Hope to get it down the Drag strip next month as the last events have been Rained off

Our local dragstrip held a test and tune meet on Sunday so as we now have got some fine weather went to see what will do
on the street tyres 1st pass short shifting and taking off slow 13.1 at 109mph wheel spin first and second
tryed again but with a bit more trottle but went slower 13.5 at 110
no traction
fitted the new 255 Hosiers DOT tyres on the rear and went slower as no grip as need a couple of conditioning runs
dropped pressure and found the week link as my gearstick parted company at the rubber sleeve so put the Knob direct on the short shaft that was still sticking out off box
with a small bog off the line got 12.6 at 112mph
looking forward to the first meeting in December where will have Lanch controll and shift light conected

Is there an update on this????
