Hi folks just a quick update on the whereabouts of Normski’s Triple. I purchased the car from Norman in Aug 2007 and fitted hand controls to it as I’m paraplegic. Unfortunately the hand control system didn’t perform as well as hoped. With no other option I sold her to Craig Winstanley. In the last six months he\'s added many upgrades. A dry sump fitted by Pip at WGT, its now Kawasaki green, uprated suspension, roll cage, lightweight tailgate, bonnet and bucket seats. It’s fair to say that she’s in good hands as Craig has greatly improved what was already a very fast car.:WaveBye

Not strictly true as Craig was originally looking at buying my satin black rx7 and was to keep it rotary, but with all the track driving he does needed something more fundamentally sound on the track and i believe his is now producing over 600bhp, getting a rotary to that is diffecult, only know of a few doing that, Ant Fleming\'s and Blitz\'s (very close) and the Dragon and ReWorx rotaries thats about all ??

The 20B\'s are another matter :god

Superb car and +1 for pics !!!!!

gmogle, which Craig did you think it was? Tinker?

gmogle

I\'d rather not say mate as thats not what the thread is about !

connor66

Correct, that\'s not what the thread is about. Just for the record, if you were slandering tinker, he does not hate the rotary engine, but well done for almost turning a triple rotor thread into a V8 versus rotary thread by post 3. Damn V8 RX7 owners eh...

am i right in thinking that craig (not tinker) also has tinkers old V8 in his time attack car?  i think its silver with massive rear tyres
400 BHP - 650 KG\'s = 616 BHP Per Ton of Rotary Power

That\'s the way to do it! :Thumbsup!

Craig is a massive fan of all cars, he is just a petrol head, and alround nice guy.
Craig owns the triple and a RX7 with V8 conversion, plus others I believe, yes the one in time attack, and its got whopping tyres something like 315\'s I think

Hi Shaun,
 
The v8 is at Tinkers at the moment having bigger cc heads and a wild radical cam fitted along with other mods to make i.r.o.700bhp along with a seguential gearbox and Viper diff.

Thanks for the Kind words Gary how are you keeping?
 
Craig.

antnicuk

you certainly have a nice selection of cars craig..    will the viper diff be good on the track?,  or will it stop you spinning up too easily?.
