dude Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) The boys had a bit of time today so we removed the whole front, we are going to make it very quick to remove in future, Simon is sealiung the bulkhead to the screen surround and making a dash, and the engine and box have been removed, the box is going to Andy Frost to be upgraded as he thinks it is only safe to around 1600 hp so it needs checking the 3.4 bottom end may be sold, it is the one that ran the first 7 by a jap car, crank checked and all refreshed by Steve Whitaker ready for another season. Edited September 30, 2011 by dude Added a few pics of how car started (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuartW Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Subscribed..Should be moved to Projects forum. Dude, Does she have a bulkhead engine plate? cannot see one there.

Good luck and keep the posts coming bud, do you know how to make the pics BIGGER? Stu ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu ;-) Stu click the pic you want and it will by magic get bigger, the motor plate goes between the box and engine, it is the black plate at the back of the engine, Frosty said the box will be fine to 1500hp but thats not enough and I don't want to take any chances, i'd rather do it once and do it right.

dude Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 I am going to have to get a steering arm laser cut and fabricate a new track rod and buy a new rose joint as the accident somewhat put an end to these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 how much that rear screen weigh then john? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Prob only a couple of KG's less than the glass one !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartW Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Lexan rear window turned up, had I realsied the weight difference I would not have bothered. really! i weighed mine from Plastics4u against the glass one and it was somethink like 9-10 Kilo's lighter! did you go for the 3mm or 5mm lexan? Also something i have been deliberating is the safety aspect of using Lexan over Glass in a race car, There are pro's and Cons but ultimately lexan would be safer in a crash, and possibly a fire if these lexan's where fire retardent? It's probably worth checking the rule book to see if it stipulates HAVING to use lexan sides and rear on a 25.1 car? Is that Daywalker's boot? you going GOLD??

dude Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Engine and box out and box going to Frosty to be upgraded to take over 2000hp, at the moment only rated for 1500hp, seems criminal but has not run since it had £1200 spent on a refresh !!!!
