2002/2003 brakes

The car has now seen a lot of action commencing with the 2001 Classic Challenge and some sprint days at the Wanneroo race circuit. The car and driver come up very well, holding off a heavily modified 500hp Nissan GTR which was shod with "R" spec rubber. Later fully adjustable coil-overs were added and the front brakes were upgraded to 310x30 mm Willwod 2 piece rotors with ALCON alloy 4 spot calipers running DS2500 pads. A fully adjustable twin master cylinder pedal box was also added.

2002 and 2003 saw competition in the ENJO Speed Event Series. This consists of sprints at various circuits, hillclimbs and autokhanas. Results were class wins (2000-4000 cc normally aspirated) for 2002 and 2003 and 3rd outright in 2003.

2004 saw a change to 204x28 mm Alcon rotors and calipers on the front with 204x24 mm Alcon rotors and calipers on the rear.

This car was parted at the end of the 2004 season to be replaced by a new more potent weapon to take on the power of the Japanese turbo's.
