The car has about 380hp on the engine dyno at about 4800 rpm(with the 36mm restrictor)
It has a hilux diff with an 8" crownwheel with a 3.08:1 ratio (this took me 12 months to find!!!)
the gearbox is an Albins 5 speed dog box, (which is just an SR20DET gearbox converted to dog gears) with 5th, changed to first. We kept breaking 5th gear off the end of the cluster (it is in single shear off the end of the cluster, and the HP would just break it off) so we had to get a better gearbox.
the car was white, but we painted it last time the night before a race, so it was falling off!!! so we just repainted it yellow with black stripes in a bit of s 70's colour scheme... attached is a new pictuire of it.
We got 225X50X15 wheels under the flared, but still original steel guards.. Took quite a bit of work, but it needs all the tyre it can get, that is for sure.
It spins the tyres quite a lot over the hump up mountain straight, another competitor said that it actually smokes the rear tyres when it does it!!! Cool!
The car wont be racing again for a little while, as I am racing someone elses car in the sports car series, so perhaps we will have a shot at the IPRA nationals in November in Tasmania...
Thanks for the comments guys..
regards,
jamie
