Nice one Dave - you don't miss an opportunity to show of those "model-like hands" do ya! ;)

66deluxe - December 15th, 2006 at 11:15 PM

Hi Mike,
Yeah, there is about 100 bags of cement right there!

Hi Damo,
the lifters will be the same Pauter ones that I have been using. Light weight and super durable.
This cam is about half way between the two that I have tried so far.
I have made my own camshaft blanks twice before,
but the hassle of having it heat treated and ground before and after(cam guy is now in Sydney),
plus the 8 hours on the lathe and mill was not worth it.
This profile is a proven entity as far as stability, so I bit the bullet.

Damn those model hands! They are a curse!

Hope it gets you down the quarter faster Dave.

Good Luck:spin:

Thanks Jason,
Next step will be to send it down to Surecam in Sydney to have the profile checked
in case there are any harmonic or grind-quality issues.
But I will still try the engine with the old cam and all those other changes first.

Nice I can't wait to see it in action again its been awhile for me. So how much is a tenth of a second costing you these days Dave? I don't think I want to know or it might scare me off drag racing for good!

Again Good Luck + lets hope it does bring you a couple of tenths:tu:

Dave ,those hands look older then, you do from your driver profile on Sports Compact web site.:P

Ooo...Oohhh...pass the tissues!

dragvw2180 - December 22nd, 2006 at 03:23 PM

what is the black coating on the axles,black oxiide? Santa was real good to me too,She bought me front disc brakes for my car,guess what I'm doing this weekend,hahahah Mike

dangerous - December 22nd, 2006 at 05:50 PM

What kind of brakes Mike?
Can you adapt them to your spindle mounts?
Cool pressy, Santa , she's pretty cool!

Dasdubber - December 22nd, 2006 at 10:39 PM

I don't have pics but Santa delivered two new Berg RHD 12in shifters to me today - very happy - just in time for chrissy!

dragvw2180 - December 22nd, 2006 at 10:41 PM

I was not concerned about weight on the front end,actually needed a few more lbs ballast,so went with late model type three discs. Kieth and I talked about adapting rotors to mount to the spindles,have seen them done, but with the stock discs I can get parts anywhere, custom fabbed ones are a pain if you need replacements. Besides,found the whole deal on EBAY for 136.00,all new!!!!! I already bought the drop spindles,so here I go. Merry xmas to you all , Mike

Thank you Santa.....

Nice Super! a friend of mine said that it ran 11's back at Surfers Paradise.

Mills..he had a brother or a friend with a 12sec street Manx, both had 2180's!

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Boostn - December 24th, 2006 at 10:35 AM

Turbo?
Gas?

64vwmark - December 24th, 2006 at 04:50 PM

greenman - December 24th, 2006 at 09:09 PM

Sorry to hijack your post but s/s merged headers and a phat boy muffler put a smile on my face today.........
Merry Xmas all.

Hey Nick,

Was that Turbo or Gas,
Or was it
Turbo and Gas?

racingdev - December 29th, 2006 at 09:04 AM

What's the deal with posting photos. Can't seem to get mine to attach.
:cry

dangerous - December 29th, 2006 at 09:19 AM

The photos need to be reduced in size, (I find 450 by 338 pixels to be good)
or hosted on a site like photobucket and linked.

You can send them to my email if you want, but try to reduce the size a bit?
