[race_prep] Our Hillclimb/sprint 205

[Batfink 201]

what and let the man give away all his secrets?

 

some things should be left to the fairies to allow our imagination!

 

First outing and every competitor will know .....

[Sandy 191]

LoL, we've left the under panels off for now, while we make sure it all works and will add them later. Side exit exhaust helps.

[Baz 421]

Exactly!!

 

Should be pretty potent! Good work all round, look forward to seeing(hearing!!) some vids!

 

Any idea on weight yet Sandy?

Any pics of the side exit system?

[Sandy 191]

It'll be on the corner scales tomorrow I expect, but I have a feeling Colin might be coy about that, unless it's heavier than the old one, which it might well be with the extra cage and iron block etc.

[Cameron 16]

I'm guessing 790kg.

[stu8v 68 1 Cars]

774kg here.

[Sandy 191]

That things ace! Sounds f'ing mental too

[Sandy 191]

What type of internels are you using in the gearbox to cope with the power?

[Sandy 191]

Gearbox is all standard BE3 and BE4 parts mixed and matched, with Gripper plate diff and shortened 406 TD driveshafts, operated by "Satchshift" of course!

[crossflow 2]

Does the standard internals not struggle with the power or is it the torque that kills the BE3 gearbox

[Sandy 191]

Driver generally we find! Certainly with atmo engines, boosted is another matter.

Jesus christ!!! Thats got to be the quickest 205 I've ever seen!

[stu8v 68 1 Cars]

Always great to see a "Pro Build"

 

Its nice, well from my point of view to see what there doing to copy/adapt a few ideas.

 

As all I'll be doing is a few trackdays I dont think anyone will mind, I hope...

 

 

One thing for certain that car flies, whats it rev to? it almost sounds like its fitted with a bike engine. LOL

[Sandy 191]

Thanks very much It's 8500rpm limit, but does sound like more!

[welshpug 1,662]

Iirc the manufacturer of the pug boxes stated low to mid 200's lbft limit, so the 190 odd that the engine produces is fine for a fresh build, if not abused!

[TT205 42]

That definitely hits 110% on the seriously seriously angry wasp'ometer scale

 

Well done thats superb

[Spiky 37]

Car is looking great there, sooooo light and I'm very jealous

 

I'm running. Over 220lb of torque on a be1 box and it's been fine , and that gets a lot of abuse

[Sandy 191]

Thanks chaps

[stu8v 68 1 Cars]

Just need to see a few sneaky underneath shots of exhaust and diffuser setup

[Anthony 1,003]

Dear Santa.

 

Can I have that soundtrack in my life this Xmas? I promise that I've been a good boy.

[Baz 421]

^What he said!

 

Sounds awesome! Nice and light too!
