cool joe

You had to cut through some of that lovely paint?  ???

Too bad. ;D

Looking quick! 8)

Specs on the new bullet?

--louis

You shouldn't  see it once it's ali-panelled ;)

That looks scarry  :D


Im curious too..

Hey Joe,

Why did you put an Aircondition on your new Race Motor... ;) ;D ;D

Frank

Where the TURBO. ;D

Lookin good Joe , you may want to cut a hole in the base of your seat coz that motor looks scary  :D

Proper!, Jon told me that he had your car in.

be nice to see that fabled motor in action!

Wow!! The ET ghost has gotten to you!?! These are all "hidden" changes to you mean "vintage" gasser, but what will we see form  the outside? Looks like the trans is lifted, are you going for a "pro-stock" look? BTW is that "air condition unit" connected directly to the crankcase? Interesting! 

No Pro Stock look!! The trans is raised a little but apart from wheelie bars and maybe a 'chute and the slicks not sticking out past the arches it should look the same from the outside. It might get a bit more signwriting, EMS will get added somewhere ;)
'A/C' pump is connected to crankcase :)

Wow! Joe, you're a brave man! I hope it doesn't change the look of the car that much, you know I love Velocirazor! :o

I'm so pleased to read that, as I don't really get the vintage painted "pro stockers". Has this engine run before with the A/C on? Whats done to prevent it sucking up oil? 

It made some nice numbers on the dyno ;)

Bet it did, seems to be a innovative engine! I have been thinking about loosing the breather hoses from the heads, but you beat me to it it seems. Hope to see it up close this summer but, keep the pics coming!

What is the difference in HP with and without the vacuum pump? And what bits are you going to paint DDS purple...  ;)

It made 15hp more with the pump on. There are other advantages, I'm told.

Blimey, that's enough to offset a muffler to keep it street legal!  ;)

Geeze you lot like to raise the bar ! Allways good to see that people are moving forward and never happy with already perfection :)

Can't have the Mrs going quicker than me ;)

That's nice! And the slicks not sticking out is even better, i've always wondered how they were not sliced in half by the arches.

Mean looking engine! 

whos the engine builder?

LOL

If Joes earlier post is anything to go by, then I'm taking an educated guess it's Engine Machine Services! ;)

Just the frontend is glassfibre. It's also lost a fair bit of metal as well from the engine bay and the dash is gone :) .

Looking forward to seeing the new stance and the new times Good Luck  :)

Awesome!! N/A engines are the coolest!  ;D ;D

Looking good Joe 8)

Joes off to Websters today, still not been fired up, that's the job for Friday at the track !!!!   :o  :o  ;D

Bernie told me about the amount of work that went in this weekend :o

They did work out how many hours and it's scary.
All i know is I haven't really seen Joe for almost a week, but it will be worth it.  ;D
C u at the weekend.

That's all well and good but more importantly don't forget the balloons!  :)

Now that is a proper break-in! ;D

Got it fired up yet????????
Keep us posted 8)

cant wait to see it joe! only one more sleep till the weekend ;)

It runs,made a pass but needs some clutch issues sorting,sounds the t*ts though :D


cheers richie,uk

car still looks tops! will be sorted shortly ;)

Cheers Richie, was gutted i didn't get a proper run in but you're right it does sound 'nice'  ;D
Still learning about all this hi-po stuff  :-[
Was still a good weekend, even Bernie's nightmare didn't keep him down.

After the 1st full pass any issues will be long forgotten, the main thing is you're all but there with it. Wow, that thing sounds STRONG! Awesome car.

 8)

Good news though 8) just a bit of fine tuning eh?
Are you bringing it to EBI2 BTW??

Will there be another nice big turn out of outlaws this year??

Forgot to ask - how badly damaged is Bernies car?
Not too much I hope :-[

Nice one my man, see ya around.

Cheers Andy, Must pop in some time, you still on the farm? Hows things going?

Out at Avon Park at the weekend to sort some niggles out ready for EBI. Ran a best of 11.22 @ 122mph with a 1.69 60 foot so i think there is a bit more in there still  ;D

Well done Joe , just heard off Boom Boom . How much more is in there yet do ya think ?

Still either spinning the wheels or clutch slip in forth to sort and a better start away from the lights and I'd be hoping to knock at least a second off that eventually. Not a EBI though  ;)

Nice one Joe. We wanted to come down for the Sunday but we were dog-sitting for a five-month old Husky so we couldn't make it. Glad you got stuff sorted. :)

8) 8) Bet you still manage to knock a bit off in Belgium

It seemed to hook up OK  ;D

Clutch is now working then!

Thanks to Bernie's Eye Rays... ;D

lol

A few of us Outlaws were at Santa Pod this weekend, we'd been invited to the Mopar Nationals. I ran a new PB of 10.89. I think they enjoyed us being there and beating big old Yank tanks seems like a great sport! :)
I'm sure Matt will have a report and pictures up soon at www.outlawflatfour.com  ;)









oh and Richie ran another couple of nines and Mrs G went 12.60, I think a couple of others got new PB's  :)

well done all........  even the ones in small writing! lol

Hi Joe,

Amazing picture!  :) Amazing car! :)

One of those car that however many times you seen it, you always have to stop and look round it again! :)

Dude  8)
