anglia4 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 We did even less fancy ducting to that on the carpi and it made a chalk and cheese difference to water temperatures. That looks proper racecar mint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks proper racecar mint Nice, I'm keen to see how this goes. I got turbo lazy and just duct taped it together for now (I'm pretty time poor at the mo). Might fold and rivet some corner pieces this week to make sure it holds together, although it feels super strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperblade Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Just saw your video Please go and check your seat mounting, your seat is moving around way to much for my liking Here's a recent example where a seat mounting broke, note that it was a low speed crash in the scheme of things and the belts could probably have been a little tighter... You can see the seat moving around prior, but a lot less then yours... https://www.facebook.com/sambushellmotorsport/posts/1987233984751634 Ended up with damaged ribs.

It's solidly mounted to 50x3mm strap that's welded to the floor, but either the floor, mounts or the seat itself must be getting a bit of flex. It's pretty tiring to drive, so a more solid mount will likely take some of that load off too. I've definitely got a few jobs to do before the next outing though....... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty bright red, so is taking a bit to get my head around. Need to get it all assembled for some daytime pics. I think it might stand out on the track. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also whats the go with the other 86 I've bought an ex Lynn Rogers NZ Touring Car engine that was for Barrie Thomlinson's Altezza back in 2001/2002. It was built to a strict set of rules, so has limited lift on the cams, no VVTi and standard compression. The cams are fairly long duration and it has double valve springs, H beam rods and a few other good bits. I'm going to get the VVTi working again and install my high comp pistons, throw some new seals and bearings at it and see what it does. The cars went to Bathurst back in the early 00's, so it's possible that this engine went there as a spare. It came in a shipping cradle and has BT4 stamped on the block and head (Barrie Thomlinson's #4 engine). The other 86 is @Mitch.W's notchback. It's come a fair way since his last project update. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Damn boy, that sexy. Looks much better all red I reckon. Also, good to see crazy Neil's car in the retro pics. That thing hasn't moved in 7+ years now, RIP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might even comply with the Historic Touring Car rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Slideways~ Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Fuck yeah that looks fucking awesome! I used to have one of these, had it painted bright red too, but it was orange. Those arches really suit it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
