I never new that .... Wow 400kgs that is a whole lot of weight + the rubber advantage.
Anyone who has tried removing 400kgs off a car knows that.
 
 
 
Yes your young though. I think you will have some good fun and lets face it how many world champions can live in Perth and drive IP?

col
i know and have met craig
yourself i have not had the pleasure!
with all of your i.p and taxi banter
i hope that when you two meet
that it does not end in old fashion fisticuffs
lol
after all
that cake eating craig may have youth and bulk on his side!
disclaimer!!!!!!!

tim tam taught terrific!
What lap times are the fast ones doing?

 

No Craig is doing a great job and I am sure he has it all under control. Since I was 10yrs old I always take the piss out of everyone (even out of myself). I don't like the serious nature of life which is why rarely do I be 100% serious. Too many tightly wound girls blouses who are overly sensitive. I don't like blondes,hate rhubarb, hate politics, hate salesmen, hate religion and don't choose to buy cars that are not coupes. But that's just my opinion and preferences. If that rubs people up the wrong way then as that former orange people (Ma Sheela) used to say that "tough titties".

 

 

Craigs got a hatch over in Hicksville so he can't have zero taste.

Unfortunately mark just got car sorted for This weekend been suffering new car Blues as to be expected. . Still haven't seen any race times put down by mark but he's a good peddler. The other2 door was quick whilst un developed straight out of the box. Matt cherry new starlet is the car that's gonna be breaking lap times. ..I think if you could run 64 sec consistently you be good as class champ for the year!

Craig's big plan off the grid is to go to the lead of the race by turn 1 and then improve his position from that turn. Sounds like a fair plan because I don't think he really likes panel beating and painting and by being out in front of the pack he can avoid the door handle to door handle biffs and scrapes.

Having a look at mounting the starter motor. Tilton don't have a mount for LS engines so I am going to get my own made up. I have cut the supplied one back to get the lateral position.

I now have to work on bolt hole position and depth of the starter so it engages the fly wheel right.

Ahhhh, the memories.

 

I bought the CAE starter and spent days shimming it to get it to run quietly and crank quietly.

I've no idea who setup the starter as purchased. Certainly wasn't a bolt up fit. lol

Hi Mark, sorry for late reply, but not much happening in the last 2-3 weeks. Things have been a bit hectic in other areas of life and I haven't got anything done.
I have had a Motec rep out to talk about wiring and a set up for my car. But other than that, it's stood still.

Hope to get back on it soon.

Massive thanks to Dave for giving me his used tyres. aqapyhez.jpg

Don't think so Gene, 32 pages on this thread and still going! It has made me wonder how far away the finish line will be time wise.

Back to the machinist to take a bit off the back and all will be good.
Been doing a bit of work in prep for engine and diff going in, hope to have it in next week. See how it goes.
