Overheating is generally an air flow problem or water flow problem. You have increased the water capacity by fitting a larger capacity radiator,...
Back together now. Paid the bucks and got a solid clutch custom made for it. Replaced everything in the bell housing. While the motor was out...
Well, you could say that.
Well I have ignored posting for a few months now. Carralbyn Airstrip drags were a complete bust for me. Started a good long weekend and went down...

For as short as the meet was for me. Had a good time, despite the dramas. Let me know if you need a hand. Carralbyn will come up quickly.
True. Would like to know how much though.. Got a replacement clutch, will be fitting it tomorrow, give the motor a compression check, pull the...
To me, it doesn't seem that powerful but may have to agree with you.
MMMM Maybe just the driver. The clutch is only 8 1/2 inch. and you cannot fit a larger one. Have a replacement clutch already. Can only get stock...
Just noticed in one of the pictures with the motor out. There is a Grey Ghost stubby cooler doing its job.
Well Saturday was definitely interesting. Small dramas getting to the track but managed to be only an hour late. Best part was, that it was a...
Well, I did get to louver the sump, Made the baffle and spot welded it in a spare sump. Off to Willowbank this Saturday with Brendon for a Racers...

Well Willowbank strikes again. Not happy about it all about the cancellation. No real racing this year at all. I have got so bored that I bought...
So true. Preaching to the converted. Hard to stay positive with the constant unpredictable weather,
Ha It is just one of the spare rooms in our second warehouse where the toys that are seldom used go to hibernate.
I know what you mean. Been messaging Brendon, not overly confident with the Nostalgia's, lost faith in the weather. Half expecting it to be...
I did try stepping of the clutch at several rpm,s, never found the clutch to like it and no matter what, it would launch lazily or bog down. Put...

What may have happened was, The rear end is solid mounted. When I dumped the clutch (only dump the clutch at work, on the dragstrip, I have to...
