ill be posting another soon, its of me spinning going into 10a at road atlanta last weekend.
My footage shows my freeze plug blowing and the tow truck coming...
It's hard to see that turn even coming up.
...got an action cam for Christmas...now I have to get out to a track
Update on the consulier intruder GT1 restore. Trying to be ready for a Daytona track day in April.
Trans out
And the engine out
Looks good
What kind of FI on the LT1?
i believe it was wired for a motec m8, but i rewired it for m800.
the block is a Rodeck, im not sure of the internals yet, when it comes back from TEC ill post it. we think its around 420 CI, and puts out 750-800 hp.
the trans is a hewland VGC. They were built for GTP and CANAM cars of the early 90's i believe.
Starting to work on this now. Build thread to follow. Factory built IMSA car.
On the way home , and then getting some respect.
Stuck some new cheapo Chinese tires on so I can roll it around shop easier.
Not sure what to start first ,
will be doing - full suspension rebuild, all new brakes , re-wire,
Choose and install engine. Likely do a t2 for parts availability, gonna run to rossion n check out the NOS engines left.
Down the road,- replace fire system , seat- gotta see which seat sits lowest for more helmet room.
Obviously the list will grow.
Taking blue car to track tomorrow night.
That's quite a stable you have there . Consulier looks right at home. Sounds / looks like that series 2 has some interesting options ( fire system, dual wipers, engine cover intake ). Congrats!
The note in car says "Chet Filip" , has full roll cage etc.
The stable of cars is part of a business venture - high end car storage and rental.
Need to store your Lambo? Only use it 2 days a year? We store them and also offer some as short term rentals ( with a very very large insurance policy)
The Gtp get more attention then all the rest.
Took blue car out for a track day tonight. Super powerful with the t3. Had boost way down to start -8 lbs. Moved it up to 18 at highest
What a blast. Steady at 135 mph. Great brakes.
Very neutral handling.
Had one spin/off track incident. Trying to push it too hard on street tires.
I keep waiting for the over steer and it was nothing like the bmw in that regard. Also easy to correct when you start to slide.
All in all it was a super positive experience. Thanks johnny for all the bushings etc.
Nice!

....is the front inside tire off the ground in that first pic? Looks like you had a blast!
Yes and yes. it was a lot of fun.
Car was pretty easy on tires too. My Bmw burns thru them much faster.
Started plugging away on red race car. While blue car is apart , made molds of the belly pan and engine cover
Going to Rossion to grab a couple of the NOS engines and tranny ' s
Also think I found the original engine to this car , and feshly rebuilt ( circa 1992)
Are those freshly molded parts then?
