One of the new westfield XTR-2's, love the look, and am facinated by bike powered cars.....I think its the simple sequential shifting, sooo cool!

Re: SpiralMax - easy power for a few $$\'s [ QUOTE ] May I relate a story that most over 30’s Australian car enthusiastswould remember well. [/ QUOTE ] Ahh so thats the story of brockies polarizer! Thanks for posting that, I never did know the full story! (I was wondering if someone from...

Pete, to ease your pain, it has happened to me too!! Uni student, wants 308 stroker for panelvan, saves, saves, buys block, buys second block, machines second block, small crack, sh#$, "no worries" says machinist, "ill just plug it!!" Ok, block done, I assemble motor. Botom end done, cam in...

[ QUOTE ] How about the F-22? Full fuel is in excess of 25,000lbs. Huge thrust though but it is not a light jet. Perhaps with an extremely light fuel load of 5,000lbs it would be close. [/ QUOTE ] Knighton, are you talking about the F22 Raptor, set to see service in the U.S in 2005? Ive...

Opps, didn't read all the post's before posting! Yeah I think its like a gtech, but more accurate.

In aust the moroso slide calculator is used by some people to figure out theoretical 1/4 mile times. It shows car weight, tyre size, hp, and terminal mph, (and prob more!) Gives you an indication of what you should/could be running. You still have to take into consideration correct weight...

Thanks for the info flatchat, sounds like an excellent weekend, and good luck if you are running your car!

[ QUOTE ] 2 Days of racing this W'end (29-30/11/03) @ Queensland Raceway [/ QUOTE ] What time, and what day would be best to go to see some gt40s? Thanks for your time!

Seriously cool! It would take a bit of getting used to though, and I think I would preferr it off center, as it would be a distraction looking through the dispay. (for me anyway)! It would be interesting to know about the legalities of such a device, I cant see the beancounters in Aust...

Go you good thing!!!! (Australia)!!!!

The best thing the old boy did to our shed was building runners for the endless chain to attach to. So much easier for getting engines out of the car, especially when on chassie stands. As for lighting, consider the opaque roof sheeting, every couple of feet, adds a lot of daylight during the...

Thanks for the info. Thats a siiiick engine (and car) mate!! Good luck with the restoration. Cant wait to see some pics of the completed car.

Hi Paul, What would be the best method of payment? I can do western union, and maby cash, and could you send to south korea? Thanks for your time!

another one: "Do you realise what speed you were doing sonny?" "More than you were officer...." "Why the big rush?" "I was trying point out the obvious waste of my tax dollars in providing inadequate highway patrol vehicels..."

Ya lucky I needed to stop for a piss....

200km/h in my old rustbucket panelvan on the ipswitch motorway all the way from willowbank raceway to the city. Very stupid as I had a full load of people, (there are only 2 seats in the front of pano's, but heaps of room in the back!!) The crazy thing was my mate in his torana was playing with...

This website http://www.mulsannescorner.com/ has some cool info on areodynamics, its main focus is on le mans cars, but it has some good explenations for people like me, for whom areodynamics is a black art!!

While K.B is a name you can usually rely on, I think for peace of mind that forged pistons would be the way to go. Is the engine fuel injected, or not, and what boost levels are to be run? Mabey low boost, fuel injection you would get away with hyperutectic (spelling?) because of the knock...

I think, if I can remeber correctly, the races are sometimes shown on channel 10's RPM program, and Fox sports 1 or 2 shows them fairly regularly, but not untill a few weeks (months?) after the race. Its been a while since I was in Aust, so I don't know if the scheduals have changed or...
