Alongside their NA and NB shop cars, Japanese tuners Olive Ball have a modified Galaxy Grey NC track car used to compete in various time attack events.
The car is fitted with a stripped down and rebuilt LF-VE engine featuring Cosworth internals. Oversized pistons, aggressive camshafts, strengthened connecting rods, larger valves and reinforced valve springs are fitted. The exhaust system consists of a Sard manifold with sports catalytic converter & middle pipe, with an Amuse R1-Titan muffler. Induction is handled by Olive Ball's prototype ram air setup.
Olive Ball's Dog Tooth coilovers with spring rates of 14k at the front and 9k on the rear
together with Nopro and Integral Kobe bushes keep the car on the track. The standard 6-speed transmission is used but the LSD has been changed for a Cusco 1.5 way unit with a reduced final drive ration of 4.788 (down from 4.1) for quicker acceleration at the expense of top speed. There is also a lightweight flywheel and uprated clutch from Toda Racing. Stopping power is massively increased thanks to an R-Masters 6 pot caliper kit up front and Dixcel brake discs all round.
The exterior of the car features Olive Ball's own angeleye style ring headlights, Good-Win Racing Super20 arch extensions, Garage Vary front grille, Tuckin99/Chargespeed front lip spoiler, Jet Stream sideskirts, and a large Origin GT rear wing. The interior features a Mazdaspeed 4-point rollcage, Bride VIOS Low Max seats, and a 6-point racing harness.
