Psssst MD! Racetracks don't have bumps, just curbs. And you don't want to over them with your exhaust. :wink:

Still no sign of your exhaustcam thingy :?:

Welcome Evert!

So you bought the ex-Jeroen Boer engine from Michel. Great stuff, can't wait till it roars again!

I'm using Pagid Blue all around. Pretty happy with them. All lines are hardlines or teflon braided and yes, there's flex in the firewall. Since I'm building the new car, I thought to go with a new pedal box and move myself a little further back in the car. Been thinking about floor mount, but heared...

Diameter of Clutch master & brake master 75 TS

After a year of struggling with the pedal feel on my 75 TS racer, I'm planning on going with a tilton or wilwood reverse mount pedal box on the new racer. Does anyone know what sizes the brake and clutch master have standard?

I have stock front calipers and giulia rear calipers (same as stock).

Guys! We're talking racecars here.......

Remove the stuff and seamweld the panels. Make sure you remove all of it before welding, because the fumes coming of it when on fire are very toxic.

Yes Mats will be mated to a ex Colin Bond Group A motor I just bought to go in in my GTV6 race car I am building. (I just wanted the motor but the seller prefered to sell as a pair) I just read Straight cut gearsets are relatively noisy in operation and have an inherent whine to them.(Sounds like m...

I have one lying around and have never used it. I could't fit the standard airbox with my AFM. No box and a bit dusty, but brandnew. PM me for price, etc.

It's in front of the engine, clearly visible in the last pic. :wink: I thought that was the swaybar (because I couldn't see the steering column) Edit: Looked again and saw the steering column (and rack) BTW Dennis, did you see the video of "Marc7eleven" on youtube? It was at Spa, not sure...

@Micke you're absolutely right. Even with all the safety features on the track it is most important to have a good cage, good seat and a good 6 point harness (and mount them properly). I was lucky in a way hitting the barrier first on the left front and then sideways. Hitting the barrier straight on...

Yes Mats, it's really fast. Exactly how fast I don't know ( around 6000 - 6500 rpm in 4th wit a 9/41). The curbs there are flat so you can take them quite allright. It may have upset the car since I was going faster then before. I may have picked up a bit of dirt in the base of Eau Rouge..... I don'...

A pity it ended so soon, any idea why the car suddenly oversteered? I don't know exactly. It happened in Eau Rouge. I was going in faster and took a slightly wider line at the bottom going into the right turn going up. When I hit the curb on the inside the rear just stepped out. When I noticed I co...

It's been a long time since I've posted but a couple of weeks ago I have finally got the engine to run and dynoed. Just before we went out to Spa Francorchamps.... The result was 205 hp (at 7300 rpm) and 210 Nm of torque. The engine tuner/dyno guy believes the output will get a lot better once it is...
