Couldn't you get the timing belt off from under the guard? If the cover is a problem, leave it orf.... less weight!8)

Weights got an inferiority complex in this thing already. Poor old weight is looking a bit sickly compaired to that power figure.......

Just went back to the interest "Power to Weight" thread from a while ago.

Lets say

250hp atw / 680kg's = 0.167
300hp atf / 680kg's = 0.200

Impressive to say the least

Dean mate when do you think this thing will be ready. I figure mine is still more than a month away? I am aiming to have it ready for the ACT show and shine on the 19th Nov but I think that is unrealistic...

Also mate bloody amazing system you have set up there, brilliant stuff, can wait for the Dyno output and 1/4mile.

Cheers

Noice

With that many gauges & that engine,
you are going to need a pre-flight checklist:

[ ] Battery Charge * check *
[ ] Coolant levels * check *
[ ] Oil level * check *
[ ] Life Insurance paid * check *
[ ] Spare underpants * check *

Hey Dean...I'm thinking that oil cooler/radiator/intercooler (whatever ) could do with a stone guard to protect it

also...I suggest you change the dress of the blue hoses to prevent "abraiding" on the braided lines

Blue lines still have to be tied back properly..

As for a stone gaurd... still trying to work something out...
