What has Dave Been Up To? 29th AUG 2015: 10.66@126.09mph!!

dangerous · 2006-10-31T03:22:08+00:00

Well, after the Warwick '06 meet, I decided to make some changes to the car. These include : Purchase some quality nozzles for the fuel system and get it re-flowed, Adding an MSD 6AL, Putting stock width guards on the car, And, upgrading the CV joints. The CVs and flanges were robbed off my crashed Chassis car, and are Commadore items. The drive flanges and stubs have had locating rings welded to the standard items. Some clearancing of the bump stop bracket was needed. These CVs use a 28 spline axle the same as a 930 CV joint. My axles are made by Romac here in Brisbane, and are 400mm long. You can see how I cut a groove in the outer, to reduce some of the added weight. This is pretty conservative, because I dont want a failure. Perhaps I will remove a little more weight later.

Turn it around and bore a recess for a press fit of 60mm tube,
and trim with a nice chamfer:

Then flip it back around and do the lip:

And then shine it up a little with some fine tape:

Yes three more to go!
They will be all the same.
Although it is probably unneccesary, when you see what uglies are hidden by the air cleaners currently.

Stickers are only small, about 10" long, but are a fun way to identify me!

Next trip out will be the dyno.

Fist try as last raced with air cleaners.
Then new ram tubes.
Then with nozzles moved up high near the top.

Not sure about racing until after the dyno and whether any +hp.

Muffin man stickers will be on when I race next.
Where on the car should I stick them??
They are about 60mm high and 340mm long.

Yes a tapered runner is supposed to be ideal.
Not really practical in this case without re-engineering the whole intake tract from Valve seat up.
But that IS the plan with this engine in the future by filling in the ports.

Now back to the important stuff.... 😂

I think the stickers should go on the rear quarter panel behind the door.... Prolly down low just above the heater channel...... Perfect spot....

FUCH your early!
