Looking good there!


You can source the windscreen rubbers through Windscreen Obrien! i had a new front screen and rubber fitted by them about 6 months ago and they had all the parts required in stock, so maybe give them a ring to see if they still have some! I can't remember the price though

WELL WHAT A WEEKEND!!!
Started off Friday morning, stripped the car (interior & engine bay). Left the workshop this afternoon with a new motor, gearbox, clutch, diff, carpet, heater, amp & subwoofer in boot....I am absoultely buggered!!
Started off with the 350 Holly which dad was really keen to use (due to the hours spent on the manifold) But the holley was not helping the cause and I stuck the 45's back on.
Will spend the next few days running it in when ever I can then will change the oil, check the valve clearences, set the timing and give the webbers a balance and then will see what this puppy can do.

Straight up without revving it past 4k I can tell that it has a fair bit more grunt than the old motor and without any luck I will actually achive a target I set out.

Pics, power figures, quarter mile & 0-60mph will be up in a lil while. Keep ya posted

I love those types of weekends. Good to see progress is still happening. Make sure you run it in first.

well, she's run in. Have been watching dad play with the valve clearances and cam timing, I think its pretty close to being spot on.
Just a moment a go i ran a 16.5 @ 84mph. I believe that with a lil weight reduction and some practice a 15 sec pass is easily achievable.
Will book it in for a dyno run in a week or so as i am not quiet happy with the accuracy of the guage im using.

Keep ya posted

hopefully see a 15, best of luck, remember the treat the clutch like it isnt your friend if you wanna quick start[;^)][88]

cheers

I saw an yellow RS from a mile away today coming past the hospital smorning. Looked great on the road, wonder who owns it? Glad to hear it is all running well Reece.

Niether. It was by a thing called a 'D-Pic'. Its similar to a GTech but its an autometer gauge that is preminantly mounted in the car. On a private road of course.

Weighed the car today, came up at 1180kg with myself & a passenger, 1108kg with just me and 1034kg just sitting there. This was with ¾ of a tank of petrol, spare, tools, stereo gear & extra sound deadening.
Also ran a 0-60mp/h: 8.66 sec (with passenger).
The car is booked in for a dyno run on the 5th of Sept, going for about 80kw atw.
See how she goes.

Well...
The oil spray bar karked it the other day (whoops...should of replaced that[B)]). So, a lobe on the cam is a bit buggered and so is one of the rockers. [xx(]
But.....
I just recieved my new cam which i ordered from CamTech...

Once its back on the road, I am going to have to replace the gearbox asap as yet again this one it on its last legs. So I am planning to run a supra 5 speed. Im also going to need a new diff soon, so I am going to get a falcon LSD cut down and shoved in...

Then the real fun will begin...time for b0000st
