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.

As always, Warwick was a blast this year.
Thanks to Michael and Sarah Nash, and Laurie Gooley for helping out on the day, for fast turn around,
and sharing ideas and observations.

Last run of the day for some reason "merged" into the other lane (sorry Andrew!),
but other than one run where I missed third gear, I was happy to flog the crap out of the car.

I was pretty nervous on the first run after a 17 month absence from driving a manual car,
but it all worked out fine.

More development as usual.

I think i found the reason for the car changing lanes.
A small pin hole at the base of a dowel hole in the rocker area
was spraying a mist of oil across the engine and onto the right tyre.

oil went in the lower part of this hole that is not quite covered by the O-ring.

Unfortunately any gains' origins will be inconclusive,
since I have done some more exhaust work also,
from the valve, all the way to the stinger tip.

Plus new crank trigger as well.😎
