SteamWolf Posted 18December, 2012 Report Share Posted 18December, 2012 Probably doesn't have an LSD but rear engined cars rarely really need them. I know mine has no LSD but it'll light both up happily in the wet. (toyo eco tyres... why God why) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasserkuhl Posted 18December, 2012 Report Share Posted 18December, 2012 TBH I am not 100% on the LSD as I've done nothing to check but I think so. Every single time I've had the back wheels spinning its both of them at the same time and never peg legs. On the runway at Coma in the dry dropping the clutch at ~4.500rpm would result in both wheels lighting up though 1st and into 2nd every time. On the exhaust thing. I ran it a few times at Coma with just the headers and no muffler. Loud is an understatment. Awesome but loud lol. It seems that it does then......so you now have a new name. Herr Gripmeister. Mine feels like a LSD, lights up both rears however its most evident on downshifts 3rd>2nd under braking very stable. Plus it understeers a touch more than I'd expect under power exit........... If it doesn't, I can't see whay I'd 'need' one as Steamwolf said, rear engine gives me plenty of traction!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 18December, 2012 Author Report Share Posted 18December, 2012 J.J, I am kicking myself for taking so long to get around to working out offset as I missed the last production date for Whitehorse industries this year by one day! They took their last orders for production on Monday. Ah well i'll just have to put up with the 18x12's that are already on it a bit longer. In other news the 36mm chokes and jets came in the post today so I might have to book a meeting with myself at some stage during this week and get them in.

tungatina64 Posted 18December, 2012 Report Share Posted 18December, 2012 Crikeys. Have you got a LSD? I just sent my Dansk 2 in 2 out to have it modified to appear stock from the outside. (Std pipe LHS, RHS Pipe dumping to the ground behind the lower bumper panel - stealthy and hidden) It shall be back tomorrow mit neu stainless pipeage, I will post up some pictures of it if anyone is interested. Then I'll need to do a soundbite on youtube. Started it straight out the extractors on the weekend..................man it sounds like an angry beast..............almost took it for a cane.............logic and sense prevented me from doing so.......... Yes would love to see some pics of the exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasserkuhl Posted 19December, 2012 Report Share Posted 19December, 2012 Yes would love to see some pics of the exhaust. Sorry Uncle for the Hijack!! Here you go!! Not installed yet....will get to it tonight at 10.30pm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 19December, 2012 Author Report Share Posted 19December, 2012 Well at 12.01pm today I had NFI about 40mm IDA 3C Weber carbs. Now at 12.01am I know quite a bit more. Enough that I am going to buy a AFM and start to play with tuning them myself. Anyhoo I pulled them apart to change gets etc but that all turned to poo when the wrong jets turned up. IDA jets yes. IDA 3C jets no. So I thought bugger this and I'll make the best out of it while I am here. This lead me to thinking what the hell should I do? I know! Airflow is best when there are smoother surfaces for it to flow in. So with this in mind I got to polishing stuff.. Will it add any power? Who knows, probably not but at least I feel like i got something done and its better than watching TV. Equipment. I spent some time smoothing out cast marks and knife edging the pipes. Before and mostly after. It was a bugger doing inside the pipes! Before and almost done. Primaries. Done. You didn't think I would miss the stacks did you! And back on. I'll do the other bank tomorrow. Now I know how to work on them it should take half as long and I wont bother to pull the carb off the car.

Uncle Posted 20December, 2012 Author Report Share Posted 20December, 2012 LOL I know! I've kept it very clean. Mostly to keep it work safe for everyone. I surf PFA during the day at work and P.F at home after work. Speaking of that I just booked a meeting with me for the rest of the day at home in the shed doing the other side.

Uncle Posted 20December, 2012 Author Report Share Posted 20December, 2012 Thanks Randall. After doing the other bank of carbs today I still had some time so I painted the fan and shroud while I was fitting the RSR fan strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Posted 20December, 2012 Author Report Share Posted 20December, 2012 I'll be honest to me function always wins over form every time but I thought while I am here I should give it a lick of paint. Paint weighs bugger all and it was very nasty looking. RSR strap was half the weight of the factory strap. I've really got to pull my finger out and get the rest of the damn AC out of the car though. Its starting to annoy me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-banger Posted 23December, 2012 Report Share Posted 23December, 2012 Love your work Uncle. I think it need a couple of "no step" decals on the rear wing and the like. Feel free to provide some ideas though. How about a small chequered flag under the driver side door window for every race victory...like fighters/bombers decorated during ww2.

Uncle Posted 23December, 2012 Author Report Share Posted 23December, 2012 Oh not a bad idea. *off to ebay to see what I can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doish13 Posted 24December, 2012 Report Share Posted 24December, 2012 There are a couple of web sites which have photos of nose art from various bombers from WW2, a tastefully decorated nose art could also work however love the original idea of dressing as a BF with yellow and white markings.

Russ Posted 10January, 2013 Report Share Posted 10January, 2013 although, the guy i bought that targa glass from might be parting out his car if he cant be bothered finishing it, 3.3 turbo motor i think - if you're keen (or do you wanna keep cost down and DIY?)
