RAMP Auto Group - ABE92 Widebody Build & Racewars 2015 - Australia

Hey guys!

Recently, I went to a local 1000m race event (Racewars - Australia) with my new build at RAMP Auto Group. I almost missed the event due to work and insufficient time to tune the car.

Luckily, Wedge Performance managed to tune the car remotely and he did that during the event. I owe you one Ken! If not, the car will still be on OFT E40 tune flash.

As for the build, many thanks to the following vendors:

1. Prior Design (Germany) - The widebody kit fits like gloves and according to the panel shop, this is one the best widebody kits that they have worked on so far.

2. Kustom Panel & Paint (Australia) for the widebody kit fitment & paint - The attention to detail is amazing!

3. Harrop Engineering (Australia) for the Forgeline GA1R Wheels Forged Aluminium One Piece - Fitment is spot on with the Prior Design widebody kit.

4. Rob Beck for the upgraded RB - Billet Compressor, Clipped Turbine & Thrust Upgrade. Can't wait to break the N54 WR 1/4 ET with these hair dryers

5. Trueform Technologies for the TFT Intake - Thanks for your help in expediting the order! The build quality of this kit is second to none! We did a quick mod to fit the rear intake pipe to clear the RHD steering column. It's not ideal but we got the job done just in time for this event.

Note: For RHD owners, please contact JD75. He came out with a brilliant mod that will allow TFT rear intake to fit in easily without any compromise in performance. More details on post 77 of this thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...1083650&page=4

6. MOTIV for the PI with S/S Controller - Again, impressive build quality with complete kit ready to rock and roll!

7. Fuel-It for the Stage 2 LPFP – Amazing kit and so easy to install!

8. Justin (JD75 - Australia) for the Fuel-It Stage 3 LPFP - Did not manage to install this in time for the event. Nevertheless, many thanks for the rush to get the order through and your local assistance is much appreciated! In addition, JD75 is the Australian Distributor for the RB Turbo hardware, TFT intake/turbo inlet systems, Fuel-It LPFP fueling systems and OEM parts for N54 & N55. He might have some parts in stock and as such, this might come in handy one day when you are in need of the parts urgently. My HPFP just went kaput recently and instead of waiting 2 weeks to get a brand new HPFP from America, I managed to get a brand new HPFP from JD75 within a couple of days. Besides that, it's easier to deal with JD75 as he will sort out all shipping and custom related issues.

9. Advan Performance (Australia) for the Nashin Big Brake Kit (BBK) - A bit skeptical with this kit initially but I am glad that Peter convinced me to get this kit instead of spending double the amount for another BBK. Used it multiple times to stop the car from 260km/hr (163mph) to 100km/hr (63mph) on a downhill slope at Barbagallo and oh boy, the stopping power is amazing and I can do so with confidence.

And many thanks to the vendors below:

Racewars 2015 Videos

vs Audi RS6 Avant V10 Twin Turbo (700HP Monster)


vs Nissan R35 2014 (~600hp)


vs BMW M3 E92 Gintani Stage 2 Supercharged (not on race gas)


vs Ford G6E Turbo (10.7s 1/4ET)


vs Ford FPV Ute


vs Nissan R34 GT-R Single Turbo


vs Nissan R32 GT-R Single Turbo (Car No. 24 ~650whp!)


vs Nissan R32 GTS-T Single Turbo (Car No. 107 - Top 3 in the event ~700whp!)




vs BMW N54 E92 FBO


And now videos for reality check:

vs Ford FPV F6 Typhoon


vs M5 E60 Supercharged (when POWER >>> TRACTION & SH*T DRIVER (me))


I must admit, the spun off gave me a good reality check. I am there just to have fun and I am nowhere near good enough to handle the car if I were to lose control. Even though I do get more power with DTC/DSC off, it's definitely not worth the risk. As such, with the DTC ON, headwind and poor traction, the 1000m and 1/2 mile trap result is a lot lower than I would like.

Ranking from top (highest trap speed) to bottom for the cars I raced against and other cars for reference is as per below:

1000m TRAP & ET / 1/2 Mile TRAP & ET

1. 176.7 mph & 22.1s / 164.8 mph & 19.5s - Nissan R32 GTS-T - Car No.: 107 ~700whp!
2. 164 mph & 24.4s / 152.1 mph & 21.7s - Nissan R32 GT-R - Car No.: 24 ~650whp!
3. 162.5 mph & 20.2s / 155.2 mph & 17.6s - Audi RS6 Avant V10 Twin Turbo - Car No.: 98 - 700hp Monster!
4. 159.2 mph & 22.6s / 150.8 mph & 19.7s - Ford G6E Turbo - Car No.: 141 with 10.7s 1/4 record!
5. 158.3 mph & 22.8s / 154.5 mph & 20s - Nissan R34 GT-R - Car No.: 102
6. 157.3 mph & 20.9s / 150 mph & 18s - Nissan R35 GTR - Car No.: 130
7. 156.9 mph & 21.8s / 151.4 mph & 18.9s - me - Car No.: 122
8. 151.7 mph & 21.9s / 150.8 mph & 18.9s - Camaro Supercharged (700hp) - Car No.: 56
9. 151.4 mph & 23.5s / 141.5 mph & 20.5s - BMW M3 E92 Supercharged - Car No.: 47
10. 150.8 mph & 22.3s / 144 mph & 19.4s - Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera - Car No.: 18
11. 145.8 mph & 23.2s / 140.6 mph & 20.2s - BMW M5 E60 Supercharged (Had issues and better time from last year) - Car No.: 64
12. 142.2 mph & 24.2s / 133.9 mph & 21s - BMW M3 (unknown mods) - Car No.: 105
13. 136.5 mph & 23.8s / 130.5 mph & 20.6s - BMW N54 E92 FBO COBB Tuned E30 - Car No.: 60

I had no idea Perth had such a quality car.

Your car looks and goes awesome!

To think I also go to the boys at Ramp Auto Group. Didn't know they build such tough cars.

Awesome build, and the videos put the icing on the cake.

I got pretty excited just watching your car pull away from that ST R34.
