Get Rob to stick it on a Dyno Dynamics dyno, no traction issues there

tweenierob · 30th April 2008, 05:06 PM

No traction when i put my car on two of them

Graphs aint supposed to have loop the loops on them

What an impressive thread and build!

Rob

Rob, perhaps you need a lesson in how to strap them down

How does your Dastek cope with the big power cars?

Fixed :P

Lots of things have been happening recently, for example the interior is now nearly finished. The roll cage is all painted and protected from scratching with a plastic coating in the vunerable areas. Some work was neccessary on the door panels to make them look good after the roll cage was fitted. Same applies to the rear seats.

As each section is finished I will post some more pictures.

The car should be back out for final testing in the not too distant, then on its way home!!

I would guess the first event possible will be TOTB - stick it in your diary!

Ludders The first drive will certainly be interesting. Your car in its previous state would have been quicker than 95% of the road going cars out there but this new package will be FOOOOOOOOKIN crazy. You have to let us all know if you see any ferrari and the like, the look on there faces would be priceless.

Mind you they don't have video players in theirs!!

We will just have to see what happens when I get it back.

Thank you everyone for all of the encouragement and superb comments.

Jeff the Lemon now has a stereo DVD player in her and the full interior.

But also has another 350 horse.

So it should be a fair mach up as long as you have all the seats in. IE road car.

I can't wait it will be brilliant fun.

Its still going to be a sruggle catching you Mick, seats are in along with everything else including a fair bit of extra weight and my H pattern box will slow me down...........but what the hell !!

I'm looking forward to lining up next to you.

It will be great fun - as it always is.

There you go Mick.

Fully panelled with seats and a full spec roll cage. Parcel shelf and speakers, grab handles, roof lining, sun visors, etc. Everything is staying.
