easter 2006, you over filled your trans fluid, remember when the offical pulled you and me out of the line. you had a big pool of fluid under your car in the stagging lanes and your crew guy at the time said oops, over filled the transmission.

Nah its not ringing any bells but my memory is pretty crap lately.

Adrian are you putting slick on now or sticking with the radials?

i looked at taking the power steering off to save weight but honeslty after driving through lee's trans fluid a couple of easters ago and getting very sideways at half track, i wouldnt have like dto try and keep it off the walls without the power steering.

just find another 20hp to compensate

No danger of losing the power steering - Stuart is just a very angry man when he gets in a weight reduction type of mood. :D

Lee, radials for Sport Compact and some little slicks for the rest of the time. Slicks aren't a priority for me at the moment though.

Does weight do that much of a difference? Should I be ripping out the original fuel tank and other little things in the hopes of getting the car lighter?

I keep trying to start a diet to lose 20kgs from the drivers seat but probably easier to get it from the car...

I'll be cheering for you to take over in SRWD to give shane a run for his money... :(

Weight makes a massive difference but remember that in some classes, as with SRWD, we have minimum weights to meet. Shane and I don't have that problem because we drive tanks that only have to go 3250lbs (3100 + 150 penalty for non-OEM box) which they seem to do easy enough.

I'll just be happy to be back out there racing again and hopefully a little closer to the pointy end of the qualifying order than my normal 4th - 8th position.

the weight penalty for the trans is only in the ANDRA book, not in rays. when they merge next year there will be no weight penalty for the trans. that comes from both the box and sharpies mouth. :D

Well you just made my f**kin' day! 3120lbs here I come! Stuie, get the spanners out! :(

Stu is just sticking to his name.........doesn't want to lose the Bezerkly identity.

He's also making you a nice free flowing exhaust for the big arse turbo - he's taking a screwdriver to it!

That's okay. I don't delude myself that it's much of a street car any more. Sure it's registered but it doesn't see the street very much. The exhaust can be as screw-drivered as Stu wants :bunny:

I heard from a liitle birdie that yhe machine work will be started on your engine this week.

How terrible do nitrided crankshafts look? Like it's been sprayed with pressure pack primer....poorly!
Looks pretty big....what is it 8L?

You could give me the whole engine....that would save you 200kgs at least >_< I mean only if you really wanna save some weight. :P

8.5L. 200kg you reckon? It'd be fairly quick then!!

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
