Corner weighted the old girl this morning , its a bit lighter on the front than I had hoped for, but at 62% rear and 38% front for a total of 566kg with driver, 20ltr fuel oil and water full, he'll have to learn to trail brake.
dyno tues, I wonder what we'll get, I reckon about 425.

Well they say all good things must come to an end, and sadly after 8 months and approx. a thousand hrs the old girl is finished, the owner came and picked her up this morning, and off to her new home she went, first day out will be 5 Dec at Lake side raceway, so hopefully she will behave herself and perform as she should.
will post pics and vids as they come

Looks fantastic Johno --it actually drives? :heart:and what was the dyno result?
Hi Chris, had to pull it off the first time as we developed an oil leak at the dry sump pump that wouldn't go away and was the one fitting I couldn't get to in the chassis, pulled the engine, fitted a flare saver [ fibre cone washer] to the fitting and tightened it with a six foot bit of pipe lol, it aint gunna leak no more, he will organise another day later in the month as he's going down to Philip Island next week and ive got the Noosa Hill Climb.
wwill post results and vids as they come to hand.
clutch now works fine, btw, thanks mate, only mod that needs doing is to extend the fork mounting post about 10mm, everything else is aok.

Beautiful car! Well done.
went back to the dyno today and got her all prepped up for nextweeks track day, best run came in at 360kw, but for the sake of safety and common sense we knocked it back to 300, even that will frighten the sh#t out of him
the best run of the day

Very nice..
So I am curious how you detuned it? Realizing that you are totally electronically controlled and EFI.
With most engines in the carbureted world, detuning generally means compromising performance in other areas. Simple Red-line (rev limiter) restriction being the easiest.
It will still be a beast...
