Hi all,

Apollogies if this is not posted in the correct place, just thought some of you may be interested.

Just letting everyone know a new drag racing club is starting up '1320 Motorsport Inc' , first meeting this Sunday at 1pm at Shannons offices at 863 South Rd, Clarence Gardens.

The club is based on having special guests talk about new products as well a seminar based sessions with Adelaide's and Australia's best engine builders/chassis gurus/drivers/team owners etc. These will cover everything from traditional V8's/Carbs through to the latest Turbo/Import developments, EFI, Data Acquisition Systems etc. Let us know what you want to know and we'll find the best!

We also plan to have a strong road safety focus.

Businesses are also encouraged to join as we want to create a formal register for aftermarket businesses that serve the modified car/motorsport industry in this state, similar to what the MTA/RAA has done.

Also with this club our aim is not to have formal part of the meetings bogged down with endless argument/discussion over the track etc. There will be plenty of time before and after to discuss the subject informally.

This first meeting is to let you all know what we are trying to achieve as a club and bring everyone up to speed on whats happening re the track etc. Questions re the track are most welcome at this meeting. It will be fairly informal so let anyone who would be interested know.

Also if anyone could help us with posting this info on the relevant websites around the place it would be greatly appreciated.

We also welcome any members/representatives from other car clubs as we have some 'plans' we would like to discuss to address the negative media regarding car clubs/drag racing/modified cars.

Let all interested know and we hope to see you there this Sunday (19th July)

1320 Motorsport Committee

    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
    • Take the fall as a warning sign for future endeavours  Stay safe mate
