Another Chance To Prove Yourself

[Guest Andy Rathbone]

yes but does yours have an identity currently mine is un tested!!

[Guest rizla]

well heres the chance to test man and machine

[Guest Andy Rathbone]

by untested i mean officially the car doesnt exist yet eg no registration. mmmmm

a test you say, i think i ought to be burning the midnight oil then, to get it finished

ready to take the glory of last place

[Guest Stuart Ainslie]

I can't even find mine buried beneath 2" of dust and the usual garage rubbish. Roll on the spring!

[Guest timswait]

Surely the most likely position for a V8 to finish is in the scenery somewhere; that's a lot of weight to get round corners!

Still better than where I finished last track day (curborough): about 15 miles short of the circuit when it broke down!

[Guest Stuart Ainslie]

I think you wil find that a Rover / Buick V8 weighs about the same or maybe less than a Pinto - nice ally lump.....

[Guest rizla]

a v8 is very torquey not revy,ideal for corner exit speed not so good on th straights and corner entry

[Guest Tim Norman]

If you take a standard Rover V8. Replace the flywheel and clutch with the flywheel from an auto V8 and a three part sintered clutch you gat a V* that revs like a motorbike!!!

[Guest rizla]

i do luv the sound of a v8,but i luv the turbo whistle the boy racers have

[Guest paul mercer]

Make that THREE turbo boys!!!

 

I took mine for a trip round the block this evening for the first time. I finally got the engine running a couple of days ago, and i had to test the ABS worked. It does, so now it's time to crack on with the trim and side panels.

 

Boy is that thing quick!!! Scarily fast. As soon as the turbo kicked in i had to ease up and change up i was worried. Mind you it was dark and the bulbs aren't in!!

Hi, sorry to jump inot this thread so late..

 

Is there a requirement for overalls for the track day, or is it just for the Sprint event on the Sunday.

[Guest Tim Norman]

Helmets and overalls that don't contain any man made fibres are mandatory. The overalls must also be clean, not covered in oil and paint.
