Looking good! Was wondering what alternator setup you using with the front mounted rad?
None. ;)
I Decided It Was Time To Drag The Race Car Out And Update It.

I expect non, for the 1 till 5min stints in hill climb you don't need one at all...just gonna cost you horses when fitted....
But 9x13 on the front with a nearly standard geometry front without servo and max 150bhp...you must be arnold schwarzenegger or spend serious hours in the gym to turn the steering wheel....not to forget the huge rotating mass of this massive wheel/tyre combo which costs you min 20bhp...
Looks great but performance wise... What is the reason for this setup? No offense, just want to understand.

It took them about 12 years to beat it back in 98.

Just add to the above. Power is not everything. It took them more power and a lighter car to go faster.
That car is now doing rather well on the tracks. With migliacars. Yes not easy to drive on a race track.
So I am just taking the plans of 97 onward.

Glad you managed to sort the ARB mounts etc and I love the air dam. Look forward to seeing more.

Good question. Final drive is either 4.1 or 4.3:1. The box is nothing special.What gearing are you running?
Not sure which final drive I had in here Yellow GTM.

Well this weekend has been one of cleaning brake bits and having a play with where and how I am going to route the pipes
Stripped and cleaned the rear brake pressure reducer.
Yes it is tiny.
Then fit clutch MC and slave
Think I will be running the pipe across the bulkhead and then into the cab via the LHD plate.

Finally got the exhaust bobbins I wanted so just knocked up a mount.
And in positionish on the car. No holes drilled yet as I need to make sure it is 100% where I want it.
