Remember that it was 13.8 at the coast.
Inland he runs something like high 14's low 15's.
Tappet cover is from a 1400 Datsun pulsar.
It is aluminium. I have gotten myself one yesterday from the wreckers.
Apparently they reduce rocker noise at high rpm.

 Re: Minnesh
so was 13.85 downhill / downwind?

car must be superlight

oops have I stirred the pot again?

Look its not that I dont believe this...I really do want to believe, but I have seen my car and motor (very similar setup) against other sub 14 second cars and got eaten alive.

I have never seen a cast aluminium vanette rocker cover. Only ever seen pressed steel ones similar in design but no cast bolt holes or top ribs..
Looks cool though

 Re: Minnesh
the rocker cover looks to have just a few subtle differences to a normal vanette one

chrome metal ones dont have threaded bolt holes in the top sides of them or ribs on top. Atleast the ones I have seen.

Edit: looks like you edited your post as i posted. It does indeed look to have differences

 Re: Minnesh
Seems I will have to come up again for a fellow South African.

As noted in a previous thread, the time was captured at a Speed and Sound festival by professional people.
Speed and Sound is a magazine here in South Africa similar to MAX Power in Britain.
They themselves have hot turbo cars that they use for drag racing.

Something that I think the non belivers are missing is that his comp is 13.5 : 1
It is not 10 : 1 or 10.5 : 1
This I believe can make a huge difference in power, but maybe not in reliability.

Minnesh
Please post what cars you dragraced against on the 1/4 mile and you have beaten.
I think this will give all non-believers an idea against what power you where racing.

Minnesh apparently has a video of the car running this time, and he's sending it to me soon.

So, be patient everyone!!

As far as I remember they mentioned in the article something about a fuel reservoir for the carbs.
Minnesh will be able to tell us in detail why.

 Re: Minnesh
I don't see the threaded hole... must have inferior video hardware

The ribs make it look aluminum, but I think a Datsun emblem was added and some modifications were done to a chromed steel cover, just can't imagine why he didn't start with a regular shaped one as they look much better.

yeah, but you believed you were gonna run 12s

I reckon high 13s are possible from a max effort A series, but mate, they are few and far between...

High 13's would be possible me thinks.
Do any of the sydney boys remember AGR015 (Formula Blue 1200 Coupe)? From the old street racing days about 10 years ago, it had slips for high 13's.
It was a stupidly expensive motor from memory, Mikinis and all.

I remember that car was soo sweet I remember it was running high 13's around 10-12 yrs ago same time as I had the 13B 1200 ute Im pretty sure it was at one of the first 4cyl and rota nationals. In the good old days.

Looks like a std late model A15 valve cover that has been chromed or polished. [Ithink from memory out of a vanette people mover]

Oops, sorry it is a Fanta cooldrink bottle as a catch tank for the radiator overflow.

How did you change the toyota gearbox from hydrolic to cable operated?

We're probably not going to get the engine specs, but can we see some dyno sheets?

With that 1/4 mile time, I'd like to know what diff ratio he's running.

its obviously very stripped out too. Not even a wiper motor! Not exactly street trim.
