there was a 1200ute running in 24hr of lemons with a 2.6 astron in the back

had a quick google but couldnt find it

have seen it, the rx2 was by far my favourite car in the series

was disappointed in the final episode i must say

31.8 wow thats chugging along! would be a pretty busy lap i reckon Bob!

dazza the 4.88 works well for me. a close ratio gearbox would be better to keep it on the revs but the 4.88 does well
with the standard s14 synchro box. it pulls nice out of corners in 3rd and pulls hard all the way through 4th & 5th.

the old engine topped out at 205kph at 7800rpm (limiter) so this engine with a few more revs should see around 220kph but ill
have to wait till i get to phillip island one day.

my diff has a kaaz lsd in it, i had trouble with my old 1200ute on the track with the standard hilux 4wd lsd centre
could never get it to behave on the track but that could be down to car (ute) setup also

i reckon the hilux is a great diff with lots of ratio choice but prob not warranted behind an a15, they're heavy!

thanks guys

sorry ziggy, went to winton practice day last week was very last minute.. will let you know on the next one for sure

cheers bob how bout you? still got the coupe?

bit of an update, new engine is in and going strong

it made just over 200hp at the wheels right on 8000rpm

have done a few laps at winton and it felt really strong, i did a new pb lap of 1m37.8
in the morning but was on the trailer by lunch time as the alternator gave up.
I dont think it liked the rpm, might look into underdriving it some...

no pics this time sorry, will get some next time i have it out for a run

good day as always, great to catch up
thanks for lunch ziggy and for the joy ride in the ute

turbo a series sleeper sedan is definitely on the to do list now!

I'm good to go anytime in the morning. Just gotta be elsewhere later in the arvo

im in, cant stay too long though

any pre meet?

welcome back, sad to hear that your selling. your ute was my inspiration for mine all those years ago

good luck with the sale

David, unfortunately there is no rwd version of the sr20ve

so its a fwd sr20ve cylinder head on a rwd sr20de bottem end.
theres lots of fiddly things required to make it work..... u need custom manifolds, crank fire ignition and to relocate and
remote feed the VVL solenoids

but it is a lot of fun!

how'd you go at winton Ziggy?
