This is absolutely incredible. Thanks for sharing.

We look forward to more in-depth videos (acceleration, downshifts, track driving, etc.)

Trimmed the center console to open it up a bit. Sans handbrake. Repositioned clocks to the center with AIM straight ahead.
Off to Cali for a tuning with Dinan at Carbahn.

Really amazing build. Question, what was the reasoning for switching to the cross-plane crank, especially considering it being a purpose built track/race car?

SoCalRPM · 04-13-2020, 09:03 PM

I'm here for that sound and more pics. Keep 'em comin'!

Bimmer Barney · 04-13-2020, 11:34 PM

Why keep the clocks?

Later P65’s were always cross plane since I believe the initial GT2 class.

We had to do a little CF surgery to accommodate the substantial oil filter, custom housing and serious oil lines. Very neat. Great work from AR Motorsports.

For the Geoff Intake, what did you do about the do88 radiator?

On the Geoff website, it mentions that you have to lower the radiator?

Also for the required tuning, is that something that you had Mike@BPM do remotely?

Cross your fingers. The dyno in the UK finally got all of the parts needed to rebuild it. Bert will be making a phone call next week to check the status of the dyno rebuild.

Isn’t there a P65 swapped e92 track car in Washington already? I thought he bought it directly from Steve Dinan.

No, it’s a caged race car. I think it runs GTA.
