Beyond Blue R33 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 apparently when they changed out to the injection system for 2 strokes (from the orbital engine program) they ran in to massive issues of deposits on the injectors, caused mostly by fuel and oil purity issues, and Ford Cologne (who had been backing them until that point) pulled the plug. The company tried to go out on its own, and even produced 85 ford festivas with the system fitted, which they basically gave away on the agreement they got them back to assess after a given time, but due to the completely nonexistent support for the company, the ideas or even the chance for a full manufacturing setup here in Perth (Tickford actually DID build a production line in Balcatta that built the first 85 cars) It died a sad death, killed off by apathy, lack of foresight and a shit government that missed a golden opportunity to put Australia at the forefront of automotive engineering for decades to come. And if anyone thinks it was a unacheivable pipe dream, just remember that this country is full of people who have massively changed the automotive game. Blokes like Rod Hatfield, and Jim Read to name a few. And now I am depressed and angry at mah counrty [emoji20]The Western Australian rotary. Shame it never got off the ground. I used to work in sarich court Osborne Park. Just got back from my mates funeral. :-( huge procession of Harley and triumph bikes. Less patches. The funeral company had to get a Ford hearse from Northam because he refused to be buried in a Holden. Tought me Ali polishing, welding, bending, burnouts, bourbons, beer, strippers and the full gamet of a honest man's debauchery. Skyline was a hairdresser's car. 351 Xc 302 XD bombed 2ltr escort could never catch his Xb coupe during my apprenticeship. Bombed 351 cleavland, predator carb, manualised c10, 3500 stall, 3:95 9". Have been bursting into tears over and over from the good times we had. Got into a police chase leaving a party doing a full burnout. Lost the police in cannington rolled into his parents place with police hiding out the front and back rolled in and shut the coupe down. Lost license for 4 years. Animal. There goes my family protection plan.
