Your prolly right.... But I know my car too.... I had a feeling things were not right there.... It's been the way of things with this car.... I'm
finding the weak links in the car.
All good.

Easy launch at 4k with a .026 reaction, 1.8 60 foot, 8.5 on the 1/8th with a 13.2 @ 105.01mph.... Quick shift to second after start, redline in third
and strong boost in third and fourth.

Cheers guys.... Went into the shed today to take the race rubber off, and found a nice puddle of trans fluid on the floor... Might have shifted
something under there when the axle broke!

So it's looking like I have sold my 82mm CB crank, rods and flywheel..... In the market for a flanged replacement and sundries to make it work.
Anyone out there want to help a Dubber in need?

Glad to take the 82mm off your hands mate, I figure the daily would prefer the 2110 instead of a 2007, just need to reconsider the cam now, heads will
support the extra CC's but cam may now be on the smallish side

Can't let you have all the fun Mick!... The crank was always a concern for me.... When I bought the crank I was building an NA engine, which would be
fine for a crank such as this, but a boosted engine approaching 300hp is the limit of them IMO... Especially after seeing a few boosted engine loose
their FW... I'm not looking forward to the cost change over, but the security of knowing I have an engine that will be man enough, is a bonus.
And getting my car to the other coast would be fun, but the freight cost would be a killer.... I need to find me a rich benefactor/sugar-daddy!
My dream of having a solid "eleven-oh" car is getting ever closer.
