More info, the engine is baced on a tvr tuscan race engine, not the ajp one
the rover one, its a dry sumped 4 liter, twr heads w1 cam forged pistons,
knife edged crank fetteled rods arp studs 4 x 48 downdrafts and one off
manifolds with 2in primarys. the engine was built to take 250 brake of gas,
because when i started the project iwanted to race in SSR but by the time
the car was finnished, so was the series? so ill be looking to race it in 10.90
now, or street racer sunday series. The front suspension is now wishbone
bottom on a one off crossmember, rosejoints everywhere, the hubs have
been moddified to take porche 911 turbo callipers. avo coilovers all round
t5 box hydralic center release bearing, one off pedalbox (brake bias) one
peice prop with 2 propshaft loops, just in cace it lets go.7.5 cozzy back end
solidly mounted rear beam 245 35 16 on the back 215 40 16 on the front.
The cage is cds 2 and pics up on all the suspension points and is tied into
the a+b pillars and triangleulated trought the door bars are a bastard to get
into and, out of, cos im a fat barstard. 2 x cobra immola seats automerer
liquid filled gauges, trs harneses,.... lots of uther bits, theres still lots more
2 do, like find some traction, it spins in em all, i will be putting some new
yokos on soon, and i hope this helps, until i can get grip i cant use the gas.
but it is a proper fun car . thanks tiny.
