And haven't seen an 105E Anglia for years. I used to race against them with 289 V8's in them at Warwick Farm. Was this car V8 powered?

Hi Dennis,

No it's not a V8. Here's a better pic:

Nice rims!

Don't have a scanner working at present, but maybe these pics will suffice.

My Car looks very differnt under the bonnet to the car in that pic. That engine bay shot, is of the 85-86 cars.

Even tho the program is from 1987, that doesn't mean the pic is. My air box, radiator and a heap of other stuff is different. My car also had more power for 1987, 276kw versus 246 in 1986. Mine does not have a rear stabiliser bar either.

Mine was the only one set up for radials, so maybe this is why the roll cage is so different, no strut brace, and no rear stabiliser.

My car had been rebuilt also before it was retired. Everything in it is new, including shocks, springs etc.

Where's the happy snaps then!! Would love to see that engine bay! What car was featured in zoom? Was that Gavin's?

I just watched the videos of it at phiilip island and it looks like a bit of a handful! Is that a bad ignition breakdown down the main straight?

No it's on the limiter with 411 gearset, needs 3.7's at Phillip Island.

No, that car is mine, when it belonged to Terry Ashwood, it was taken out of the restaurant for that feature.

Cazz,

Do you know what spring rates are in the back of your #30 car?

No idea Ghostrider, but it needs some better ones. When the car is on the air jacks and warming up, the movement in the rear is unreal.

    • Thanks man, I appreciate that. I'll keep it in mind going forward, important to know.
    • I strongly recommend anyone playing with cars chasing anything electric, get a basic understanding of using a DMM, and about 12V DC systems. They're REALLY easy, you only need to know V=IR and how to apply it, and you can work out what your readings should be doing. For a simple check on a light bulb, you're looking for 12V at the positive to the light, a near zero resistance to ground, and then for a small resistance across the globe when unplugged. If one of those values isn't right, you won't get what you need. Now if they're all okay,and you then plug the light in, and it still won't work, you now do a voltage check across the globe positive to negative. It should effectively read full battery voltage. If it's not, especially if it's quite low, the age old V=IR starts to be able to be thought about, you now know though, for the current flowing, there isn't much voltage for the given resistance, but the rest of that V has to be dropping somewhere else. So now do a voltage check from ground of globe, to ground of car, then do voltage check from positive of battery, to positive of the light connector. Things like a high resistance in a wire/join will start to "steal" voltage on you. So now step back through which ever wire, until you find the voltage drop is non existent, you're now before what ever is steal your voltage for example.   There's plenty of YouTube videos, but really worth understanding some V=IR, and doing some even theoretical numbers to start to understand it. Then you'll know what the DMM is telling you.
