Good to see it finally finished! Does it have Formulae 1 style accommodation for an old interstater?Good after the nats we can go here and drink some beer .... its on the way home to NSW
Pls send my congrats and well done!The youngest nephew today wrapped up the IPRA state championship..... happy times at sharperto racing
Was did that start out as, a complete car or is it that shell that was for sale on my105?
Looks good...i like the 2 tone thing
Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics..... even if you win, you're still retarded
Cheers mate - did the silver underneath too. Will be nice to work on a clean car and oil leaks etc should be a piece of piss to find.
Bought a full car. Buying a shell without a donor car is a bad way of doing things IMO. You would spend your life on Ebay and going to wreckers looking for bits and pieces, let alone the accumulative cost of the bits and pieces would be a killer.
How much of the old car is going into this one?
Now i think of it, bugger all.
The suspension, rear cradle, K frame, gearbox, diff and engine will be new/different. Maybe the engine will be the same for the interim whilst doing some testing. Im making some trick front and rear bars for it. Even the timing/data collection and video gear is new.
So really only the dry sump set up, fuel system (although i will be modifying that too) and incidentals like seat, steering wheel, wheels will be the same.
The last car was so farked up, not much was usable when we came to stip it

Would you trust the seat after a big hit like that?

Any Sydney hook-ups from any PFer's with stock of tall seats?
Joseph at Revo's Auburn ? Send me an sms if you want his mobile number...
Yeah nah - got the last 2 there - good display even with 15 or so seats.
I have a different problem to you Bop, im tall not wide
Rather than be a smartarse this time, I'll just come right out and say: that's a very fucking interesting LS1 you posted on page 1.
Specs are probably Secret Squirrels (tm) but can you give an overview of what's done? Done much/anything to the oiling system?

Sorry, been on hols
6ltr max on IPRA engines, but all the good shit inside. Cast iron LS2 block, ET heads, 8tb, diamond pistons, Calies crank... good for around 595 on 98 (certified engine dyno). Backed off to approx 550hp for racing though.

Only way to go with an LS.
BTW - those Harrop farkers take a bit of fitting! Ill try find some pics and post up
Which eligible vehicle is the cast iron LS2 out of?
Sorry, not very familiar with the holdens.
Boycott temporary street circuits and support permanent racetracks for club level motorsport and driver training.
Won't be a problem until he starts winning races - then he'll get protested and kicked out...
I doubt Chop would be running a cast iron block somehow, he's not that stupid unless he's found a loophole somewhere...
Mondo, do it, bring it on. Only costs $500 for you to find outI doubt Chop would be running a cast iron block somehow, he's not that stupid unless he's found a loophole somewhere...
But dont bother, next one is Al anyway.
Cant wait for the aero controversy too

This ain't legal eitherCant wait for the aero controversy too
Fooken ipra and their stickelers for rules.
Maybe spend time making your car faster.

Lots of time and money doing just that.
Notice the flanges on the mould Lamb
I did, ripper job you've done.

I agree, I was asking only asking to satisfy my own curiosity. I wasn't aware of any aussie delivered cars that used the iron block except for the W427 but only 138 of those were built, making them ineligible for Improved Production.

More research required into rules Mondo
(iii) The cylinder block must either be:
(iv) (a) derived from an eligible car as detailed in Regulation 1.1. OR
(b) derived from the same family of engines as an eligible car using identical internal dimensions (with
differences only in transmission mounting pattern, minor external casting differences etc). ...
I would have thought the casting differences in an iron block compared to an alloy block would be more than minor.!?
Anyway, at the end of the day you seem to know what you're doing so good luck to you! The new car is looking like a nice bit of gear.
I've been following the class for a while but my work committments (hopefully that will change next year) have prevented me from participating, hence the interest in the rules.

Cheers Mondo,
i won't try to interpret the rules for you though
Thanks - very interested to see how the dry sump fitted up.Sorry, been on hols

What kind of RPM limit will you be hitting with that motor? Fucking nice specs - love the aero stuff too!

moving on from the titanium thread:
choppo, have you thought about lexan windows? (cant remember the deal with late model cars and plastic bits)
what about a fibreglass rear boot or something?
or some of that carbon fibre wrap stuff so it makes it look like its lighter..?
None of which is allowed in IPRA.
