hey IJ I see that your cage is bolted I assume this is all good in oz in nz we have to have them welded are there certain regs you have to go though
It’s an Autocross car so the regs are a bit looser as you’re not racing other cars Judge, having said that though it’s CAMS approved for a few different type events so not really sure to be honest.
I bought it mainly to stiffen up the chassis, it along with the internal bracing I built make the car fairly rigid this in turn allows the suspension to do it’s thing as evidenced by my first Tarmac event last month :XD:

March 20, 2016 at 5:30 pm #15135Home, Car unloaded washed and put away, Tonner unloaded, Lexcen ran like a champ all day, me not so much… have a bit of a cold and felt like crap most of the day, by Lap 6 I was ready to call it a day… </span>
Lap times improved each run, other than on one I managed to find an extra tenth out there… Car is much improved but I really need to do something about Tyres as there’s pretty much 0 traction on power and it locks the rears on closed throttle corner entries..Got Vid of all my runs once I’ve edited them I’ll upload and share!“Team Brute Force and Ignorance Racing”March 20, 2016 at 6:02 pm #15138

Posts: 5 777Cool as, love the minor tyre moment around 26sec in the second one :) The later runs you can really see you getting used tot he car. And also can def see why the steering gearbox is needed. Awesome stuff

LOL yeah that was a bit sketchy for sure, managed to keep it off the tyres all day, one guy hit one on the back straight and rolled his Escort…
Steering was so much better with the quickener :love:

Yeah it’s pretty plush to drive as well, on one of the parade laps I was behind a WRX, the new layout went across some ruts from an intersecting layout and the WRX jumped around a bit I braced for it and …. nothing…
Just need to get some lateral grip from the tyres and it’ll be good!
Managed to tune out the awful understeer it had last Dirt event as well so pretty successful day.
March 21, 2016 at 3:38 pm #15152For a Tarmac rally. Would a tire with less side wall be beneficial?

Thanks for that glad you’re enjoying what I post up, a lot of times it rambles a bit but I’m old so ya get that..
Yeah I don’t know what’s going on there it does that for me too, if I use TapaTalk I can only see page #1….
Something a bit buggy I guess..
Other thing it’s doing is when I make a new post it kicks me back to page #1…
March 22, 2016 at 10:18 am #15162Today!
Managed to save some $$$ on the High Pressure Hose, was going to use AN fittings and Braided Teflon as I did on the Lexcen, the Astra hose was long enough to reach so I just put the Holden end on it job done!
March 22, 2016 at 10:39 am #15163March 22, 2016 at 11:36 am #15164Today End!
One retained Camshaft!
March 23, 2016 at 11:51 am #15174Today!
Went out early this morning ready to get stuck back into the Stroker Engine… bzzzz WRONG..
Scat in their wisdom decided that making a stroker to go into a Holden engine it’d be a great idea to use the 2x Chev Woodruff keys instead of the 1x Holden one…
I assumed they’d be in the Crank Box but nope after ringing my supplier they’re not included… seriously guys WTF…
He’s posting me out a pair no charge..
Damn thing is going to fight me every step of the way.
