Rookie Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Unless your car is really cool, and then you can go as fast as you like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sluggy Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 FYI - oldschool.co.nz drag meet in early December if you want to do some shakedown runs/launch practice and not go faster than 11 seconds. The Plan is to be running in October/Nov, so will definitely be there assuming a) the plan comes together b ) I havent broken it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sluggy Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Looking for a couple of metres of 3/16" stainless tube to finish off the brake and clutch lines, any leads on this much appreciated... Needs to be flare able so wall thickness, not too much . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hmm I'm pretty sure you will need a shield on the bell housing being manual and fast. I think it comes in at 11 seconds ? Check the rules on the meremere and nzdra sites though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sluggy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 yeah Im pretty sure you are right, 1/4 plate 50mm wide... back to the drawing board ... maybe make up a shield and tack the bulkhead to the back of it, or will check with nzdra if a ballistic type blanket is sufficient (seems to be used in the US quite a bit.)

Stu Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Did you sus out someone to wire the SM4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sluggy Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yeah have that sorted, just getting the fan shroud made up first so we can get the lengths right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Is that going to make a two piece part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sluggy Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Yep, not quite sure where we will part it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Nice. Do ya use clay to build up a wall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sluggy Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Had a shroud to use as a template, that and MDF but the bit around the fan was from the original shroud. The plan is for a carbon fibre shroud, then advertise on the interweb and try and defray some costs, unlikely to sell any but will give it a go. Helps to have a boat builder doing all the hard stuff !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 that's a nice looking set up... still planning on being road going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sluggy Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Yeah will makes up a mild steel version with a muffler. I need to do a bit of work on the top end too, the Jessel rockers aren't really designed to work in a vertical plane, so not very reliable due to oiling issues, and the springs are k900 triples, potentially way to much nose pressure for the street too. So some valve train work... barring that the only real potential issue would be the lack of handbrake and 3" wide front rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I love that little touch with the speedo. It's totally rad because the driver will be way too busy at that speed to actually ever look at it. Hahaha Though the OCD in me wishes the zeros in the 180 and 200 were flipped so the tapered end faced inwards like the rest of the zeros and that the 20 was spun around like the 180 and 200. But the OCD in me also wishes that television volumes only went up in even numbers and that all book pages started with a new paragraph so I could stop reading and know the next day that I could start at the top of the new page. So basically don't listen to the OCD in me - he's a dick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
