Humpty's finally got off his arse and begun a real drag car project!

humpty · 2008-02-03T04:36:56+00:00

Thought you guys might get a kick out of this..... Some of you guys know I have been wanting to do this for years and I've been collecting bits for the 'BIG-ONE' for years.... But to give myself some turbo dub experience I allowed myself to be talked into doing this to the POS60..... [img]https://www.postimage.org/aV2e_co0.jpg[/img] This project had been inspired by the TAT and others.... If you want to see the build up to date, check it out on the Melburg... http://melburgluft.com/viewtopic.php?t=56&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=105 Later...

I need to get some 7" ERCO's which is proving a little hard to track down.... Prefer 205PCD, but I'm open to other options.
A while back someone posted a link to a motorsport trading site... Can't for the life of me remember where is was.... Anyone got any leads?

FUCH your early!

I knew you'd like it Barry... First job will be to make the POS a streeter again, then it's back into this one... If nothing else, it'll be nice to make some room in the shed!

Yup.... Might even go with a little ol'skool striping and graphics....

Or maybe just to a glory car based on that Essex Bro's beast! 😂

Or maybe.... Tony Thornton's old car...

Fortunately I'm a shiny paint dreamer on a primer paint budget... Paint don't make it fast, and most of my investment is in the chassis and driveline... All pretty much paid for too I might add, only the engine updates are to compete.... So the body will be solid and cheap.... It's a race car after all.

I picked up a new turbo the other day....

http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/prod18.htm

The CroMo tube for the new cage has been lined up too... The guy who's doing some bar work on the Baja has done me a very good deal in the tube.... Much cheaper than GoGear (local motorsport supplier) too.

And a pair of used 26x8.5 Slicks from a guy in Bunno.... Cheers to Morgan for putting me on to those!

The chassis mockup will begin again as soon as the 'customer car' goes out the door....

Crankcase, pistons, flanged cranks, SCAT rods and extra long 94mm cylinders are off to Dave Butler real soon too....

It's good to be moving forward.... But of course all of this is going into a new car, and the POS is going back on the road without all the turbo stuff... But it will be nice to have a quick street bug again... Its been way too long....

Need to come up with a new title for this thread.... Suggestions?

FUCH your early!
