Well... If your being sensibiel, a full body undertray might be worth considering.

If you have a full undertray that is roughly 1.5 inches thick (with full heat sheilding around the exhausts), that tapers up to the rear bumper, you can gain anywhere between 50 - 100kg of downforce at 200km/h...

Might be worth considering.... Expensive yes, but a very efficient, low drag (lowers drag co efficient even, so its like "free downforce" in some applications) method of giving the car some stability.

You will need it.

BTW, how much torque is it making now? Is that 1100 figure up to date?

Can't wait to see what this thing does from here......

Its a good idea, but without a windtunnel and modification/testing, it could prove a deathtrap if you get it wrong

What non-power mods does this fairytale wilderbeast have?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You mean like brakes, to stop the power.

Body kit may come later.

It never stops does it brian. The never ending mod bug. It looks like this habbit may cost you more than a heroin habbit. LOL

Well done, can't wait to see pics of your set up once all is complete..

Daniel.

Time to be sensible, and refocus on other areas for a while.

Like titanium underpants maybe??

I reckon you just modify a Terrortory AWD system and slap that under her.....

600rwkw with AWD........

It might be better to buy a Territory, and put the motor in that.

Nizpro have bought a Territory, and are putting in a turbo motor with a Stage x Cobra kit.

Today, the other wheel bearing went on my car.

To quote Simon from his web site today:

"Trust me I've driven it and its ridiculously fast, the first thing you wont to do after getting in is GET THE HELL OUT. I would like to see it with a crmo roll cage fitted to it at the salt flats in S.A at near 400 km h something that's it would be more suited to."

The Falken tyres that are on it currently are just woefully inadequate.

Unfortunately I'm flat out working, and going to London on Sunday, otherwise I'd be on the first plane to Melbourne to check the thing out for myself.

Simons final words:

"Driven at normal speeds you can tool alone at 1250 rpm in 5th gear and it pull better than a std xr6. Its absolutely mint. I've driven it and my 1200 hp engine is now for sale, YOU JUST DON'T NEED TO GO THAT FAST."

I think we all knew that the 1200bhp Falcon 6 may of been over supply. Awesome work Nizzers.
