it has a presence to it in the flesh

although would love to see it again with the new wheels on Gareth and also see this pulsar too :D

Ian

the pulsar is going soon Ian, extremely soon. Need money for business plans!! :) Sucks ... and took a damn long time to decide to do it, but you gotta do these things at times, and l guess l'll have time later in life when l've made money from work to buy a fast car (maserati, Ferrari, etc...) ... and the plates l have on the SSS will go on it!! ;)

But def will catch up soon, once my interior is back in l'll come round!! ;):)

Saw that red/maroun Stagea again tonight in Blacktown or Seven Hills (NSW) at around 7.30pm, I think he/she must live around here somewhere... If I'd seen the plates, I would know if it was definitely the same car or not.

Spotted MumsTaxi I think, goin through the roundabout near the Maitland gaol heading towards Morpeth.

yea might have been me depending what time it was? I know we drove thru that way after looking at a few houses bout 2:00. Or it could have been my other half's old boss (well missus to be exact) People get me confused with her all the time. Difference is I actually wave... :) They are from Thornton don't think their on here though..

It was around 1.30 2.00, I've had a few people mention another one around the thornton area though.

I think it was you, because the front bar was opened up like i've seen in some pics.

    • Well I had 2 choices from then on. I either had to (reluctantly) move it on to another potential buyer and take the loss on the chin. Or I stick with it and turn it into a restoration project. I chose the latter. Project Snowstorm began! The frp body kit was the first thing to go. Turns out the original colour used to be silver. The Neo and gearbox were removed, along with the prop and exhaust system before it took a trip to the bodyshop, where I wouldn’t see it again for quite some time due to the pandemic hitting very soon after they took it away. Eventually, progress began and damage assessments made. Even the front chassis leg was in pretty bad shape!     Then the chopping commenced. For these guys it was just usual routine, to me it looked absolutely terrifying!   More to follow as I’m struggling to focus on my screen at 12:45 am!!!
    • That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers, 
    • Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.
    • Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.
    • Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?
