Skidmarks Posted 29September, 2017 Report Share Posted 29September, 2017 Looking forward to seeing the finished product.Should get more pics today. Why cats, is it in the rules ??No, they simply replace the mufflers - just an expansion chamber really - 100 cell cat. As close to a straight through system as we can get away with."Rules"? Erm, I'll check them out ... MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason A Posted 29September, 2017 Report Share Posted 29September, 2017 Oh OK, I know when I have removed them, I get more power. I suppose you have to have something ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidmarks Posted 3October, 2017 Report Share Posted 3October, 2017 (edited) Apparently these are NOT Skiddy's toes. Thanks PC. Again. Much hard work from Shaun Cairns at Werks Garage and Clint and the team at Skunkwerks has the old girl up and running again. The toes belong to Shaun aka “the OH&S bandit” ...We ran out of time to get it on the dyno so we’ve booked one in Albury tomorrow en route so we can check the mixtures. As you do ...Hopefully we’ll get a good overall number but I’m more looking for the torque gain from the headers and exhaust system. I need everything I can get up and down the hill!The aim of the weekend is to have fun, talk car rubbish, hang out with mates and just soak in having the opportunity to go balls out on the best race track in the country.

jakroo Posted 5October, 2017 Report Share Posted 5October, 2017 it's a bit late now for this weekend, but if you got rid of the garish orange and went to a screaming yellow, it'd increase to at least 510kw straight away.....colour can influence engine output - it's been proven time and again.Colour aside, it sounds great. Good luck skidmarks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted 5October, 2017 Report Share Posted 5October, 2017 It was going to 8000 and it’s 370 at the flywheel.

Skidmarks Posted 5October, 2017 Report Share Posted 5October, 2017 Those are are some impressive numbers I know who to come and see when I want a mean air cooled motor ............Enjoy the racing and best of luck Thanks. But the gods of speed have dictated a non start. Broken ring gear and no replacement available. Rules say (for good reason) that I’d you can’t start the car independently then your not allowed on track. Shit happens.Met some great guys in Lithgow who helped us on the dyno. Properly good people who pulled an all nighter for us to sort out MSD issues. Its one of the great things about motorsport. The people you meet.

Coastr Posted 7October, 2017 Report Share Posted 7October, 2017 Shocking form for the broadcast cutting off the touring car masters midrace for an ad break. Plenty of time for useless waffle but cut out the actual racing? Skidmarks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
