Prostock Racing are the new kids on the block. This tuning shop has been around for less than a year but has already made a name for itself. With state of the art facilities they offer maintenance and tuning service like any other shop out there but at a far fairer price. I shot their BNR34 demo car last year in Osaka, when it was being finished by the guys at Garage Ito. Back then the Prostock shop was not even built yet but they knew they needed a demo car from the onset so built the monster you see here. It was supposed to compete at last years Tsukuba Lap Battle but never showed up as the guys at Prostock didn’t want to run it if they weren’t sure it would come first. So with a bit more fine tuning done to it the car should be ready to go this December, shooting for a record lap in the low 50’s. 53 sec is the target. Can’t wait to see what it can do. In the meantime enjoy the pics.
The wide-body kit is made of dry carbon.
Ikeya Formula custom made front & rear double wishbone suspension and subframes. Even the steering rack is repositioned and uses custom links & pivots.
Forged Brembo Racing 8-pot calipers, with magnesium-alloy pistons.
Nice and short screamer pipe…..well no, this is actually the exhaust! You can just about see the Hollinger sequential.
Engine has been positioned well into the bulkhead and lowered too. HKS 2.8 L kit in RRR block, HKS V-Cam & T04-Z for over 650 PS. To keep piping short the intercooler sits in front of the radiator. All custom made by ARC.
Simplicity is the name of the game in the interior. The race-spec roll-cage is joined buy a dry carbon dash & Motec data logger. The driver sits next to the B-pillar so the steering column has been extended, just like in a race car.
