Another George Fury Dr30 Is Back Racing In Historics


Recommended Posts

...

And haven't seen an 105E Anglia for years. I used to race against them with 289 V8's in them at Warwick Farm. Was this car V8 powered?

Hi Dennis,

No it's not a V8. Here's a better pic:

Don't have a scanner working at present, but maybe these pics will suffice.

My Car looks very differnt under the bonnet to the car in that pic. That engine bay shot, is of the 85-86 cars.

Even tho the program is from 1987, that doesn't mean the pic is. My air box, radiator and a heap of other stuff is different. My car also had more power for 1987, 276kw versus 246 in 1986. Mine does not have a rear stabiliser bar either.

Mine was the only one set up for radials, so maybe this is why the roll cage is so different, no strut brace, and no rear stabiliser.

My car had been rebuilt also before it was retired. Everything in it is new, including shocks, springs etc.

I just watched the videos of it at phiilip island and it looks like a bit of a handful! Is that a bad ignition breakdown down the main straight?

No it's on the limiter with 411 gearset, needs 3.7's at Phillip Island.

No, that car is mine, when it belonged to Terry Ashwood, it was taken out of the restaurant for that feature.

Cazz,

Do you know what spring rates are in the back of your #30 car?

No idea Ghostrider, but it needs some better ones. When the car is on the air jacks and warming up, the movement in the rear is unreal.

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
