funny enough about safety and such, when some would say that prototypes (LMP cars) and Formuals cars crash and roll over defense for the occupant is quite exacting and extreme- similar tech was used...
the strip mall management at the crystal cove gather place said the cars were too loud and there was no space- so Ford MoCo and Mazda said all these people can use the ford PAG building to show off,...
today at (RIP crystal Cove) Ford Cars and coffee (the place in California for those who don't know where it is- the saturday morning autoshow-off of Bugatti Veyron Murcielago ferrari's Porsche...
i like it-i always did
i used to havean SE-r (1991 version) it ruled the roost...
now i have a volvo amazon (122)
ha ha - tha'd be funny.
it should be well back- the rear 2 cylinders should be where the heater was and in the fire wall area- a new sheet one to be added in.
I am in the US, in California. yes the chassis started from the original frame, and body and i welded a cage and tube frame conecting it all together. with an x brace under neath and all the points...
yeah that volvo engine is awesome, but wayyy to expensive i think.
the v8 seems the better option- or a natural Aspirated v6? as the turbos would be too much plumbling and space wise-perhaps.
I saw...
true true- and all volvo and less metal work and ..
This is my first from scratch racer...
i built up a nissan with nissan bits and it works great, but i really want a firebreather
thanks guys -nice input...
note this car is a 1965- so smog and megasquirt ECU is allowed...
The V8 is pulling a head
even a high strung V6 no turbos is a possibility...
that's a good bit of logic.
but any idea about the cracking 5.0 blocks? and how common it is
i have seen 3 of them crack down the valley and held together by the girdle. of course this is out of a...
aha good input.
i am aware the inline 4 wieght it has in near 400 lbs if not over that, complete
a alumimium v8 is less, and a sbc IS indeed about that much.
i would move it back about 75mm (3...
okay i am building a project car up (Volvo amazon-122)
i have a roll cage and the firewall cut out to repair the rusty problems- so the engine options are open.
would a SBC or SBF V8 do the trick?...
if they have their F1 budget intact and the testing gear- they should clobber the field- assuming the drivers are up to snuff...
no love for the SR20DEt from Nissan?
hell of a motor...
over the Hondas B-series any day...:D
"If we talk shear power go for the BMW turbo F1, fitted in the Brabham and later the Arrows, in qualification trim with lots of boost 1300-1400 BHP." Funny that
in 1978 the Drake-Offenhauser...
un believeable- what a eerie and creepy place
in racing, which if you have done- drifting is a waste of grip and hence speed and acceleration-lap times are always slower while "drifting." (consequently in every drift event i have seen the crowd...
beautiful- Daimler Chrysler should hire you yesterday
Wowzers, That Was Crazy Looking..
I don't like to dumb down the idea of Class racing but- 2 prototype classes? Maybe if it were LMP1(900 or whatever with 675-LMP2 and LMGTP) and the GT classes, there is a clear difference between the...
wow- i can't wait for the Firebird version-they always looked better
