I don't know if the wing would stop it getting a warrant or not?? (thought you might know?), but in any case, we've removed the headlights and wipers also so its not going to be run in road legal trim anymore but I will stay on DOT tyres for now and see how it goes.

The car is still way over minimum race weight for Pro Import and we'll carry 210kg more than the other 2 x RB30 tube cars but I can't really remove much else without getting too carried away, I want to be able to put it back in street trim without too much work if need be.

Are you racing this weekend??

Dunno, Ill find out, I think the pump in the middle of the bonnet could be an issue too.
Im sure the roading gestapo have some rule about swallowing small children into bonnet attachments or something similar

As long as I keep my foot hard down when they get sucked in, hopefully there'll be no proof left to prosecute me with, lol.

Going in Pro Import more seriously now so thought we might as do it at least 1/2 properly.

Its quite funny really, the more we lowered the wheelie bars and the more we turned the power down the faster it went.

We need to do some serious work on the rear end to get it launching properly before we can start to really use the power.

Well, after much discussion we decided the best way to cure our traction problems was to reduce power and go back to what we knew, so out with the water to air intercooler and back in with the old air to air, keeps the car looking much the same and at least when we sort out the 60fts and the wing we can look to up the power again.......

Nice airbrushing!

[tweenierob]

I thought the Intercooler had a certain 'shine' to it lol

Put the airbrush away and get your ass back on the drag strip

Funny you should say that, we did talk about doing the cooler with matt clear and the rest in gloss but it came back like that, I may change it when I get a chance.

Check out the detail in the cooler though :

I'm itching to get back out too don't worry.
Tomorrow we are going up to Auckland to do some chassis/suspension work and run it up on a dyno that holds massive twin turbo big block motors which make far more power than I ever will so it'll be interesting to see what whp figures we get, I'm hopin for around 500whp at 2 bar, how does that sound?

Bahhhhhh.....your intercooler needs some bent fins and bug splats to look real

You'll need the C16 and a 200bhp shot of nitrous Rob, to get the magical 500whp figure

I presume you went all out and bought a nice expensive crank like everybody has been telling you to?
