Hi Glenn,

I don\'t know Pete Harmston (Grumpe) that well, I just bought his car off him and proceeded to change pretty much everything on it!

This is the original Grumpe chassis that won the Summernats burnout competition, with a 13BT dropped in to it running on 26 x 15 x 8.5 inch tyres.  The 152mph terminal makes it the 3rd fastest mph in Australia on this sized tyre!  This was achieved with a horsepower figure now exceeded by over 100 rwhp!

I have attached an engine bay picture.

Good stuff!

It must be incredible to drive.

Who does your engines?

[grump2]

It is pretty interesting, tends to move around a lot on the track!  Craig Dyson from Dyson Rotary supplies the power.

The engine is a Series VI (FD) 13B, bridgeported and dowelled, it has 3mm Hurley seals, custom GSR manifold, 8 injectors, mechanical fuel pump, twin plate clutch, Jerrico 4 speed clutched box, strengthened tailshaft and 4.56 diff gears in a 35 spline Strange full spool 9inch diff.  As mentioned, the car is untubbed, and has had a chrome molley cage fitted to it.  The car runs on a M800 Motec system with CDI\'s and full data logging, so we know how long we carry the wheels etc.

Hope this provides a bit of information.....

Regards
Damien

G\'day grump,

[Glenn Butcher]

Brilliant Damien,  got any vid links for us?

Excuse me for being dutch, but untubbed means no turbo right? But that can\'t be with that bloody HUGE intercooler and something that looks much like a BIG turbo in the engine bay..

But apart from, that it\'s still a fantastic car,  with a spec to drewl on.

No, untubbed means the wheel arches are not \'massaged\' in order to get wide drag slick tyres in there. Untubbed means the arches are as the factory intended them so u can only get so much rubber under there. If you look at a tubbed car the inner arches nearly meet in the middle of the car - so 2 foot wide slicks will fit!

Ah, right, thanks for clearing that up.
