update for the 2025 season.

after doing 3 events in 2024 (Clastres in May, EBI in July and Spa in august) I took the engine out and fitted a 1776 I build to go on the dyno. but that went OK and now I am back with the 2276.
the changes and hopefully improvements that I made are fewer as I 'feel' a lot changed and for the better since my first outing in May 2024.
At Spa I still had a lot of wheelsman and something that I noticed in a video from EBI re-occurred, I do a burnout with one wheel... always the same wheel... so something is up. also the box had a super diff, that isn't a upgrade to control the bias in traction.
that has been tackled with redoing the gearbox again, with a Quaife and longer gears. 3,88 RP 3,78 1st 2,06 2nd 1,58 3rd and a 1,04 4th. On a first spin around the block I think it is a better gearing for this car. and hopefully with a better result on the track as well.
another thing that could be changed is the wheels and tyres. I acquired a set of Mahle space savers over the years (thanks Lee Croft) and fitted a set of MH slicks.  so this may be a big step as well. I never had anything with slicks. 
I also made a kit for an external oil cooler. this one fits over on the torsion bar and will replace the one I had above the gearbox. I am going to test it, as I have made several and I am going to sell the kit.
what also is on the agenda is a roll bar or roll cage.  but that is not done or advancing much.

again this post doen't really work without pictures, but there will be in the future. things don't look too different. a lot of it is all under the bonnet and a work in progress. but my aim is to better the 14,41 by something in the 13 second bracket, with a 13,80 being the best the car ever ran.

see you soon.

MUST SELL SO NEW MUCH LOWER PRICE

The latest work has been on the electrics, it's been a bit of a fight. I wired the lights for the gauges in series and the voltage drop was so severe that i'm going to have to redo that in parallel and i think i'll change he bulbs for LEDs to help with the power consumption.

Next on the list was the indicators, this turned into an epic as i traced bad earths, no earths, crossed wires and all kinds of buffoonery. In the end I got them flash when they need to and the headlights to work correctly as well. As i write this i've just remembered i should have checked the brake light. i have a feeling before I start that I'll need a new pressure switch..

That's it for now, the list is getting shorter week on week.

Ok,

smal update, got the engine sorted out.
Got it to the dyno, made good figures.
Had someone drove in to the back of my car while parked, so did not enjoy a lot last year of my car.
But it is back from the bodyshop repaired.
So will be enjoying it this year.

And did find some cool carbs too with matching type 4 manifolds.

When did you put the Porsche pattern American 5s on ? go good with gray colored car !
