Thanks Mags!

Really enjoyed my SCC. Next year I will be better prepared. Finished the car on Thursday night and we rolled Friday morning. The car didnīt run well at all. I have found the reason and will sort it and will have it mapped properly. Though the season is coming to an end I will at least be prepared for next year  Smiley . Realised that I did not take many pictures of it. But at least two in itīs  semifinished and finished state.

Hi!

Found some more pictures of the car. Realised that I didnīt take that many myself.

I found out why the car didnīt perform. It was leaking air like crazy. I did not have the time to check those basic things... A another day or so in the garage and it will be running better again. Iīve also added the side trims which made a big difference.

Was at PBZ and dynoed the car. We had some issues with the map. We had do redo it from scratch and then it worked perfectly. Though the way we setup the dyno it calculated the rpms in the engine from the wheels. This means that you canīt have a clutch that slips a bit under load. It shuts off. This happened at about 6 000 rpm when the power came. So we could only get around that in the dyno this time. Though it still made 430 on the wheels and about 490 nm of torque. Going straight up. Then a pushrod decided to become banan shaped. They areīnt strong enough. Got new ones ordered.

Borrowed scales to weigh the car. It weighs 639 kg without the driver and 719 kg with me in it. 62% of the weight is over the backwheels. Very satisfied with the numbers  Grin

This is from the 19 th of September when I went to Kjula. It was a good day. Got 3 runs in and they were all in 10 sec and below with a 9.91@232 at best. I also managed a 1.35 60 but then my clutch went up in smoke. This was my second time at the track. I am making some improvements this winter and will take it to the dyno this winter. There are some cars from my hometown that will have to watch it  Grin. They have all run in the nines with Patte being fastest at 9.41

what does this car weigh?  Just trying to see how little an all metal notch can weigh.  thanks!

Well this is not an all metal notch. Itīs a tube chassi. The rear fenders are metal. Front fenders are fibreglass. The hood is in very light fibreglass (can have more made if you need one.) Front apron is metal. The rest i metal though. It weighs in at 639 kg. This is before Iīve added the chute.

I have not done that much so far this winter. Iīve ordered a new engine case and flangecrank with the works. The old flywheel broke all the dowels straight the last run this summer. Iīve built doorsides and started to paint the chassi. What a difference some paint makes!





Polished the steeringcolumn came out nice



The doorsides

Same stroke, 84 with all T4 mains. All the case work has been done in the US.

Thanks, your car will be awesome too, those rims are crazy!

I recieved my new engine case and flanged crank yesterday. Itīs got T4 mains on all and Shawn Geers did the machining before it was shipped. Looks awesome. Now all I have to do is to get it ready. Hopefully this setup will last longer than three runs like the old crank setup did.

Looks like it has center main thrust for end play.  Is that what I see?

Still missing some parts
