Info needed for "THE PAINTER" 1776
Hi There,
I had a copy of the Ultra VW mag with "THE PAINTER" on the cover but cant find it. I just need to know his 1/4 mile times and speed. very different
car to mine but still interested what his 1776 did.
Thanks

I found nothing about that car but I did find a 1776cc bug running 11.4 on the 1/4.

I don't believe "The Painter" has run 1/4 mile, i think I recall Engle W140 with worked 044
Re; Peter Shattock's car, Ian from WPS built the original 1776cc engine with the car being a real featherweight. The old engine was recently for sale
on Cal Look forum, new engine has been touched by the hand of Johannes
bitten by the bug..........several times

I crew for Pete from time to time, a very clever chap thinking well outside the normal box. He designed the rear suspension himself around a Hewland
JFR 6 speed sequntial box. Its an all steel car which he drives to and from the track (1hr and 30mins each way)
Currently running a 1796cc JPM (Sweden) built motor on 48 IDA's
There is a new motor in the pipe line which is a 1776cc due to be running Throttle bodies and Injection (again JPM) you can see the heads JPM has done
on their facebook page. The new engine should scream past 10,000 RPM.

Those ratios are awesome!!
The ratios will be even better this year when the new motor comes he has a short 5th and 6th so it will be even closer and tighter the whole way
through the range.
