It's still the 3.3 but it's had $155.00 spent on it in performance enhancement.
(I can't say too much, Mick and RRS pinch all my development secrets)
This isn't the "Mick seeker", thats still to come.
I'm calling this one "Super Donk". :spoton:

Update:
I started putting the engine back together tonight. The car won't be back on track till spring though. There are a few other things to be done in the brake, steering and suspension areas. :ph34r:

Nope, did that Sept. last year, see post #223

Mick, lets have a look at the maths?

Your engine, I'm not sure 308? :huh: but I'll give you the benifit of the doubt and say 253 or 4.2 litre or 4200cc
My engine is 3300cc, that is approximately a whopping 21% smaller than yours. :blink:

The day we met at Sandown:

Your lap time: 1min 32sec or 92seconds.
My lap time: 1min 40sec or 100seconds. That is only 9% difference?

I'm already a winner on handicap! :clap:

Every time i tried that the bike either fell over or smashed into something, lol. Probably not the best idea in a race but it would defienetly scare the shit out of someone to see a car go past them with no one driving it, lmao

Right!
The big holiday has been and gone.
The 50th is over and done.
The tow car has had a rear diff "tighten up" rear brakes and h/brake repair.
And a forum member has gained about 50 H.P. :ph34r:

So.......................

Spring is nigh and it's BACK TO THE RACE CAR!!!!!!!!!

The block had a wash in a special detergent with a long technical name, H.S.W for short.

Then, a trip to the local car wash for a high pressure squirt.

Will be assembling this week if all goes to plan. (Lawns need mowing though :fool: )
