Looking good though, shame about the boost pipe. Looking forward to the other vids.

picking up a wheel can be good mate, look at the old f2 maki cars, they may aswell have been 3 wheelers,

escos is the same picks up lightest rear and turns in lovely,

may well be wrong though, its highly likely

Well few updates of late if you have not seen on here all ready, mangaed to knock my 1/4 time down to a 12.44 @127.97mph....


Video is here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNbGzX2uUgo


Still lots of room to improve just need to work out traction issue.


Im hoping also the new gearkit I have had custom made for the ST170 gear casing will aid in this aswell as the topspeed of the car.

Good update, I'll ve very interested to see how the gearset holds together as this is the route some of the Vauxhall owners could do with going down IMO

What power did they rate it to Luke ?

I cant remember the exact rating ( it's been so long since I first enquired and then revised ratios etc before ordering) I shall have to trawl through my emails tomorrow.

i have spoken to elite about a gearkit for my f28 somethign i am currently saving for

awesome fella

"A dog gear kit will not be a problem, as you can understand though we can only guarantee our gears, not the gearbox case, selector forks & rods etc, these may need separately up rating to cope with the additional energy a dog box creates. As a guide a plated diff would be around Ł550 and a dog kit around the Ł2,750 area for a 1 off. All prices are subject to VAT also.



We are looking to rate our FWD box to 350 ft lbs – it is being tested now so I don’t have an ultimate reading yet. You may have issues fitting it in though as the Nova engine bay is small and our box is on the large side for a transverse box. You would need min 365mm from engine block face to the chassis rails (or other limiting factor). If you did go down this route we would machine a billet bell housing to adapt directly to your engine."

The fuel pump that bugs the fucking life out of me that noise too!
