I had forgotten how loud a solid mounted no interior short geared bug is  or maybe I just got old  but it sure is fun   Just drive it with your helmet on, then it feels "normal" (as if at the race track..) Looking good!  |

Looks great Richie! I really liked reading this as you were building it. I've been thinking a lot about building a new car and sell my current one. After reading your last post about how loud this new car is to drive I feel like I should build a no compromise street car to race and then have a bus to cruise in......Now I have to find the $$$$$ Anyway, car looks awesome and I'm sure it'll get in the 10's |

A bit of an update as its been a while, engine is out as I have been chasing a small oil leak that I just couldn't find so decided to re seal 1&2 side as that's where its from, also wanted to check and reset clutch breakaway after its all bedded in ready to use the bottle Got that all done today so now its ready to go back in. I am just going to shorten the nitrous/fuel lines to fogger while its out[ just waiting on some correct size olives to come in mail to do this] then put it back together and take it to track and see what it does cheers Richie |

Hi Richie,
Im interested in what you did to get the CSP linkage working with the jenvey throttle bodies? It looks like the linkage pulls rather than pushing now?
Thanks

Hi David yes it does pull now, I got some extra end pieces from Gunter@csp and swapped some stuff round and it just clears the alternator stand by mm, I can take a close up pic if you want to see clearly? cheers Richie |

How much gas will you be using ?
It would be intresting to see the difference in timing tickets between a run with and without once you have it set up.

Ron, about 75-95hp level for now, I will do a N/A pass and maybe more later but for now will just aim for the 10s using the gas, the gearing is a little tall for the N/A set up so it will always be compromised running it that way but it is much more drivable on the road due to it cheers Richie |

Thanks in advance Hi Eddie next time I got the wheels off I will take better pictures, but basically the two tubes that come down from main hoop to frame forks are intersected by a tube going across to each shock tower, Jim welded a plate on the tower where it is hollow, then welded the tube to that Edit: found pic that shows it pretty good cheers Richie |
