Ledge Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 Hi All Here are a few pics of the 26 im building at the moment. Quote
Z Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Great race car Ledge, it looks fantastic. That Chevy monster is insane! Quote
Ledge Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 Hi Brabham, Its a full race motor ie "H" beams, forged pistons , ported head , cams etc Got a custom twin high mount with a pair of tomei turbos and gone external oil pump aswell. Hoping for around 300kw at wheels on around 18psi, The motor will handle way more than that but i built it for reliability more than outright power. It makes it easier when your mate is a race engine builder. Z Yeah Kevins 260 is a brute of a thing, Sounds fantastic aswell. Regards Paul Quote
zr240 Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Great to see the car getting a good run Think I need to stop looking at the pics as I am starting to miss my old beast Although its come a long way since you got it. Ash Quote

Brabham Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Looks awesome, do you have any problems with chassis twist and how have you strengthened the chassis? Cheers. Quote
Ledge Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 HI Thanks guys Brabham The car has a substantial cage in it so twist isn't a drama. sphincter flex on the other hand is a different matter LOL Regards Paul Quote
luvemfast Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Looks awesome, do you have any problems with chassis twist and how have you strengthened the chassis? Cheers. Don't think it matters anyway..... Not like its going to be pumping out much power anyway Quote
