nice find; prices are pretty steep even if its in australian $$, and yah

" *Rally registration only. Vehicle is not able to be road registered under any circumstances. "

so for this kind of money i think a Z06 would work better =)

if I'm paying $200k for a rally-ready car, I'd want it SMG (don't kill me) like Petter's car.

The Prodrive WRC gearbox is around 200k by itself.

Australian dollars =.78 American dollars

Not a bad price really for what you get. The cage itself is a work of art.

You could balance everything, hone the bores, cc the heads, tweak the valve seat profiles, de-burr some castings, pull 1,000 cams and valve springs from the OEM parts warehouse and pick the cams with the best lift or overlap, and best matched set of springs etc. etc. As long as they were all documented stock parts, and within specified dimensions, you'd still be legal. Add up all those tiny little tweaks and maybe you'd have a horsepower or 2 over the next guy...

The actual phrase "blueprint" I believe comes from the use of engineer's blue to optimize the fit of components together. For example if you were decking a block and skimming a head, you could apply engineer's blue to one mating surface and offer them up. Then pull them apart and the blue deposits transferred to the other surface would indicate any highspots that still need attention. Not 100% sure about this part though.

I believe the term blueprinting the motor means machineing everything to the exact blueprint from the original design.

^^That is correct, built/constructed exactly to original spec sheet^^

WTF, I added the Subaru PWRC to my shopping cart, but the page errored out when I entered the shipping address?????

Wow those are sweet. I would be happy just to be able to drive one of those for a day.

^_^_^
