13bke26 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 another update, whole car is now ready for paint.. Picked up the gearbox from als race glides, found of the converter which was made isnt quite right, the snout that goes over the shaft isnt long enough and the converter bottoms out on the pump before the shaft is all the way in.. now its back at the converter shop getting sorted... as soon as its back and engine bay is painted, it all goes into get running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13bke26 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 well the engine bay is all painted up now... Back to vis now to get engine back in and get running.. Spoke to the engineer today and he still says he can engineer it.. So hopefully it will hit the road mid year, fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13bke26 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 bit of an update. car is back in my possession.. have started to put this thing back together. New engine goes totally different and its only on its run in tune. Mounted up a new seat, a simpson harness.. Transbrake is all set up now and works a treat.. Taking it to the dyno on saturday for a few hours to run in and get some kays on it, then off to get tuned on tuesday if all goes well..... Then if there are no problems i may be heading to the track to do some testing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift freak Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Wow good numbers mate, I might have to get in touch with this Col Potts as I've been told this setup can't be engineered not that this is the way I've gone but a turbo 3SGE beams would be similar engineering requirements. Where abouts is he located?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13bke26 Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 in other news, i went out and raced yesturday... seemed to go a bit slower then before, using the transbrake, all passes were 11.8... its super consistent, but way off where i want it... I want it more closer to the 11.2 range for now.. Car did perform good for its first day out, had a couple little niggly issues and its got a bad vibration now.. Wont be racing till thats fixed and might give it a bit more power as it didnt seem to really get on the converter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
