For those that have followed through the years we own and built Jet066 which was the first 8 sec irs b series and still the fastest street driven xr6t. Abit after the Xmas we parted it out and had contemplated selling the shell as well but after removing the last of its components we realised we were a little too attached to it to see this happen & perhaps we had a little unfinished business to attend to. I love racing and love the car but my want for a quick streetcar is all bar gone so the logical decision was made, why not take it to the next level at the track and make a more dedicated track car where we don't have to sacrifice/compramise things like you do in a street/drag combo. The build is a joint venture between Forced Performance & Tuning & will have the usual support that we've had through the years from 6boost, Golebys parts & a new member All torque engine machining who will be sponsoring/supporting our engines. Plenty of thanks already to Prasac (paulie) for much needed direction on a few things, I'm sure there will be plenty more thanks to come in the following months as we progress. The car will still be Barra powered but with a few things we've learnt over the over yrs, it'll be purely based around the needs to keep a big hp track based engine in one piece. It'll be converted to a 9in 4link to allow us to tuck a descent tyre under it with all work done in house at fpt as well as all the fabrication. It'll be haltech controlled & we'll be lightening the car as much as possible without compromising on structural stability but apart from that I won't elaborate too much yet but let the pictures do the story telling as we start making big progress. If time permits we hope to make inroads in the next wk or so, we look forward to sharing the progress as we have over the last few yrs with the original build. Thanks John & FPT
