awesome

 

Its a full cro-moly 25.1c chassis that is spec'd to run as fast as 6.30sec 1/4mile. the car was build at my place of work in 1997/98 and has ran 7.4 using a BDT-E engine, the rolling car was sold in 1999 to current owner and replaced by :

this car was also build by us and is the same chassis spec as the Probe.

 

As dannyB said on the chassis

The gearbox is an air shifted 5 speed liberty,basically a manual box with

a twin plate clutch,macleod I think.

You only need the clutch off the line ,and then never lift again till

the end of the run!

It has a "trick titanium " can(bell housing) and runs a 9" ford axle with a

spool(no differential or slipper) on 15"x15" slicks

BTW,thats an early pic of waynes car Danny,no einstein on the bonnet!

puddy

 

Thats an awesome time

Out of interest, what's left on it that was originally from a Ford Probe?

 

its almost kinda looks like one and thats it

 

Thats what I thought

Kinda like that Indian guy getting the elephant to sit on his car to make it look like a 206

 

Used to be painted up in the blue/white and red scheme iirc, uses a huge great ice box at the front of the car which houses an intercooler

The car is space framed too


Fair play on the time

 

I'm trying to work out if you're a complete geek, or just a little bit retarded but with a good memory recall function

 

 

Saw him 3 weeks ago at the Nitrolymp'XX Hockenheim,stunning engine!!!













The next picture is from last year 778BHP No Nitrous



Dunno what the specs where this year but there was a ruler on the intercooler wich indicated some in the 8.. so could this be the BHP,hope someone can confirm this

 

That's very coool! seems wierd looking in that engine bay, it it not being a dirty great big v8 in there! lol

Awesome bit of kit!! Is it competitive compared with the V8s running? our little 2 litre four pot

 

You know where I wanna put that.

 

there was a calibra with a 1400bhp chevy in and 200bhp of nos. what makes it the worlds fastest street car doing a 8.14@174 1/4 mile and a 0-60 in 1.25. 706ci (11.5 ltr) Alluminium Big Block Engine. the most impressive thing though its street leagal with street tyres, mot and tax.

 

I know this car very well!! I crew chief it


Puddy the focus pic was on its first ever outing

 

ill try put some pics of the calibra up but i cant log in on photobucket.

 

on normal unleaded petrol.
