2001 Toyota MR-S "Mr Busa":
This car was initially a 2001 Toyota MR-S. It is now powered by a turbo charged Suzuki GSX-R 1300 Hayabusa motorcycle engine (1300cc) with a water to air intercooler. It uses the factory 6 speed motorcycle gearbox so it has a factory sequential with uprated Quaife internals. Uniquely it is chain drive from the engine to the fixed rear axle. It retains full floorplan construction with hand built sub frames and the engine has been moved forward about 300mm. It retains the factory body lines except about 300mm wider per side and has a mixture of fibreglass and carbon body panels. It uses NZV8 brakes, SACHS adjustable shocks and Porsche Cup tyres on 18inch wheels. It holds both the Production GT and Club racing lap records at Levels Raceway and weighs in at about 750kg and has 450hp. It was hand built in Timaru by Alan Dunn of Total Automotive.
