Hmmm, good point Gene. Maybe a night needs to be organised at a Pub in the southern suburbs. I bet more L34 owners turn up than A9X owners.

Sounds like a great idea.
I did email a few people about 2 months back about getting a group together for this years GM Owners Day and a cruise on that Saturday but I had only 1 reply.

I have ordered the rear shocks and am looking at the Whiteline forward facing sway bar. Not sure what I'm going to do for rear sway bar yet.
The dyno tune has been delayed until next Thursday, as they were busy this week and early next.

I have been looking at what I need to do for myself to get me ready, licence, log book, helmet, WASCC membership, etc.
It's funny, the car is now more ready than I am.

for rear sway bars, if you get on enay and look up nascar sway bars, you can buy kits that can be adapted.
I bought one, came with 6 bar diameters, so plenty of adjustment and the arms are also adjustable.

Hi Craig,

My T10 takes 1.2L of oil.

The Jerico (4 speed) takes 1.4L of oil.

The destructions for my Jerico also insisted that I run a cooler.

I figured I'd try it without a cooler and add one later of if I needed it.

So far, no need.

Cheers

Paul

Maximum power @ 6089rpm?

That seems very low for a race engine.

Law of averages "if it can it will". :banghead:

My last dyno day at Actives we chased a stupid electrical gremlin for 3hrs. It worked out it was an earth that was missed on the engine install.

Thanks Dave. I spoke to Shiney the other day, we should all catch up when he is up in town next.

So far so good Andrew, it's a bugger I had a starter issue. It's fixed now,

Hey Craig,

Congratulation, great to see it up and running - getting closer to hitting the track now!

Thanks Sam, now the pressure is on me to get the licence and log book.

The jerrico that craig has is not like your normal 4 speed versions.
From memory, correct if im wrong craig its a lay down version.
Not mainshaft on top of counter shaft.
The 2 shafts are angled to be almost side by side,
Which makes them much shorter in height, which means less oil.
Howard's litre 8 is the same.

Litre8 uses a pump and cooler in the boot for extra oil capacity

And if Gene's buying the beers... count me in for the bench racing session
