BGTV8 VQ40HRGA Race engine build

BGTV8

It is ... figure US$30K by the time this engine is back in the car - wet sump will save ~5K

Fabrication cost for the car (cage, and adding a nett 350kg of lightness) will be another A$18K but I already own the sequential gear box and all required diff ratios.

The car is owned by my business and fully depreciated so it will cost three-fifths of five-eigth's of f4rk all...

Race cars are never cheap

Engine build is scheduled to start in October when the crank and other engine bits arrive.

Can't wait to see the progress!

I have my business name on the side of mine so I write all my track, mods and maintenance expenses off as advertising!

Does it have to be tied to something that can justified as automotive, like your powder coating? I own a business as well and never thought I could get away with that! WTF, I need to do this!!!

Mike

I don't know, but I would think not. My accountant calls it "special advertising" on my tax returns, or something like that.

So that's how you get away with it in regards to SWMBO.

*Note- You were the first person I've seen use that term (SWMBO). I still laugh every time you use it.

Sub'd for this build! Waiting for up-dates will kill me. Are you changing any of the gear ratios in the tranny?
