Hi I m matt and this is our car named the panda have been working on it for 5+ years and it hasnt seen the road in 2 years hopefully soon this will change This is what we started with then decided to make room for the planned cooler meh that looked gay so we had more work to do a nice set of 15s off my little brother ET and what i always wanted a black Bonnet and PANDA was born...the car was well known around launceston. Then a nice set of 17s to set it off was in order It still wasnt enough and after a run in with a Audi TT(and then OWNING IT!!!!) the piston rings said 'MEH NO MORE a$$hole LEAVE ME THE F*&K ALONE' next step FULL rebuild engine, interior, suspension(again) brakes Respray etc etc

weeeeeeelll things have changed bought property and need to build a house(cant live in a car like that one too long lol) cos i have been mucked aroudn a little bit by someone who was meant to weld me up some stuff to finish it , it will now be another 12months before i look at it again so by the time i look at it again i wouldve owned it 8 years and only driven 5 of them lol it was pretty pissweak tho only had 144hp(105kw) atw @5500rpm at 12psi(2000 short of redline cos of clutch slippage). it coulda pulled closer to 125kw i would say easy but couldnt keep clutchs upto it untill i bought the brass button..and then the engine said no more . new engine and turbo combo is capable of over 200kw atw which is not bad for a single cam 1518cc engine rofl ill try and keep power round the 150kw atw wheel mark tho it wil be for track use but not drags

105kw @ wheels is still good compared to the pissy 90kw's or so they have at the engine standard. 150kw @ wheels would be bloody impressive for a single cam 1.5 let alone 200kw!

the leaded model (stupid really cos they are ALL unleaded engines rofl japan went unleaded in 76) is 77kw atf and unleaded is 74 atf so around the 55-60kw atw stock so near on double stock figure with more than twice the stock torque . highest E15et output i have seen proof of is 286kw atw @ 298kmhr on dyno that was in finland. hishest aussie output atm is 246kw atw on C16 fuel stock bottom end !! quite a few around teh 180-230kw mark tho. Fastest E15et is 11.54 heading for 10s this year hopefully when they get back from japan. Fastest N12 is 10.11 atm but its running a SR20DET (915hp) with volvo gearbox. thanks for the comments if teh car doesnt pull at least 150kw atw i mustve done something wrong and i proly end up just putting it in the shed and forgetting about it

matt bring the engine and gbox down to Wynyard and we will try and shoehorn it into one of my Cherrys. (is a bit to wide for the engine bay but we will make it fit).

I'd be very happy if I got 286kw @ wheels out of my 2.8 let alone a 1.5!

Nah I haven't seen it. There was an L28 turbo option from the factory on the 280ZX's. Lucky bastards.
