No. The carbon one cost nearly double. I couldn't justify it for at 1.5kg saving.

Won't be selling any parts mate.
Car could be taken off the market and developed further for WTAC next year depending on outcome of meetings next week.Comment

Will the new K24 engine in the making and the fibreglass doors be included in the sale?
If so, specs on the K24 engine would be great. Thanks!

No, they are not included.Originally posted by ish_crx View Post
Phil isn't the kind of guy that discloses engine specs, not even to the guys that buy his engines. Understandably so.Comment

Understandably so?? I think its quite stupid not even telling people that buy his engines. If i bought an engine, i would want to know what's in it. I mean honestly, who buys an engine without knowing the specs?Originally posted by m0nty View PostComment

It's not uncommon for engine builders to not disclose specs. They will show an invoice which lists parts brands and suppliers but if they develop something then it should be their right to disclose specifications too. There's nothing stopping people from pulling an engine apart and checking, but if there's that need I'd argue why you'd use someone to build an engine in the first place.Originally posted by SpoonS View PostComment

IMO I'd have more respect for this car if it remains either K20A2 Or JDM K20A...
Just expressing my view... i love seeing a car performing at it's peak with the stock work that was given to the car... Im not saying i hate cars with K20/K24 cause i don't, but when it comes to track rep IMHO, stock motor over a implantation personally...Comment

hardly anyone is running unworked k20's in their time attack cars these days, I agree with Sam about the AUDK20, it is a very mismatched engine for a car of his calibre and dropping in a k24 is much cheaper than boreing/stroking a K20 to 2.4L. every other K20 at superlap was either force inducted or oversized.Comment

When discussing with Murakami-san even he agreed that K24 was best way to build an engine for Time Attack. They build K20s when the rules restrict oversize engines but they cost big bucks (around $18,000) for a 300bhp engine. A similar output K24/K26 costs less than $10,000. It's easy to see why people choose to use the K24. The larger torque output gives a wider driving window too. The K20 may be quicker, but it's groove is narrower.Originally posted by MYDC5R View PostComment

i cant beleive ur selling this sam! i hope u change your mind...afterall u have spent so much time/effort/money building it to what it is now...
