The Fraser Pit
2014 Clubman SP 330 - Timeline
About this vehicle
I've wanted a Fraser for about 15 years now. On a trip back to NZ, I finally took the plunge and went for a test drive of DMOFSR. After being in an F20C powered Fraser, that sealed the deal - hp was required. With a history of forced induction cars, it took quite some soul searching to decide, ultimately went with a Rotrex supercharged Honda K20A.
It's taken quite some effort to package it as you'll see from the timeline below. Thanks to the creative thinking of Scott, Dan and the crew. Only possible by dry sumping the engine to get it low enough in the chassis and clever positioning of the ancillaries - with the race nose cone she all fits.
With Fraser's wide track race front end, practically every bit or bob specced out, this will be quite the exhilarating machine. Painted in Grigio Telesto, trimmed in Alcantara where we can, accented in red and vitals coming up on the AIM digital dash, the goal is to have true track day ready machine that's road drivable (no sequential boxes!)
Latest updates
What started it all..
Neil Frasers car way back ~10 years ago or so. What kicked off me wanting to get my rear end down into a Fraser ever since.
New wheel choice !
Scott emailed me yesterday with some new wheel options. Now which to use ? hmm I'm actually quite partial to the darker colour...
Engine decided
After talking with a fellow 3SGTE powered Fraser owner, and months of deliberation, I've decided on the engine route I'm taking with my toy. I'm going turbo. The quote from someone else was "The sensible thing is to go naturally aspirated - don't do it!".
Here's my reasoning.
1) She's not an everyday driver.
2) I will always be annoyed if I'm parked next to a turbo
3) Well, doesn't this site have the German name for Power ?
4) If you're going to do something, doing it right.
Getting into the demo car
