Rev Speed Super Battle - Pan Speed SSPL

The Pan Speed Street Special = road registered attacker.

This is the new 2010 spec Street Special from panspeed. It seems the red car has finally been retired.

This one is all new and looks pretty smooth. My camera seemed to be attracted to it all day.

Maybe it was just in the right place at the right time, but I took many pics of it.

Rolling stock is interesting. It's one of the few fd3s running staggered rims. Front and rear widths are kept near stock offset. The widebody isn't really needed.

Pan speed widebody rear fenders only add a few mm each side although the new fronts do add some space, they still look dog ugly at the rear.

That rivetted on look is not so cohesive. When they are finished well, they look good though.

As the car progressed through the day, different colour CE28N flashed around.

Another diffusser-less car. I mean what is the effect aero... nothing? Why don't these TA guys go full out if they are chasing top times. Maybe the wing is enough. but aero is also about reducing drag.

Sometimes I don't understand, but the car looks cool from the front. Recent Pan speed front bar is pretty cool.

Ahh, Bronze CE28N... in the sun.

in the shade. Both cool!

Lets take a close up look with the car on stands. What no airjacks... :p

Hard to see the turbo. But it's big. I like the way the pod filter is protected. "note to self"

Has a rough FRP bowl covering the filter. Gotta keep temps lower.

Master cylinder?? where did that go. Replaced by dual tanks. Pan Speed's trademark spring replacement system is installed. The big spacer helps drop front ride height too.

New spec bonnet - the main difference are the omission of the centre divider. Pretty nice. looks like you could position the vanes for more extraction if desired.

Interior has a nice suede sparco and some repositioned gauges. Black rim efini gauges place this cluster as a 1996ish car. But who cares it's fully restored. they certainly don't match the airbag dash.

That has been hacked for the evc and the heater controls are nicely "chucked" aside

Front canards are the new shape that most run these days. For corner downforce and vortex creation.

Sard sourced Pan Speed dual flap banana gt wing suits the FD but it's not street legal size.

Yep, no diffuser. no undertray. nothing.

some of the seam welding looks nice. underbody paint is also cool.

Front slotted rotors are big enough. the oil cooler could use some mesh though.

I WANT THESE!!!!!!!!!! DIREZZA S-TYRES!!!!! AND THE CE28N wouldn't hurt either.

They go here, here, here and here.

Many hands make light work. A pit crew I could use too.

Back to earth and reality. I'm glad the owner chose RE-A lights. they are nice. check the stance at the front with the suspension spacer. It means you can get more travel and stroke without too much sacrifice.

Here's those dodgy rear arches.

With Sasaki-san looking on. He was wishing to drive the FD, not the slow rx8.
