thanks for posting up the piccies ... its a really well put together car by the looks of it.

how do you manage to get it registered on the road though ? I thought they were pretty strict over there. I assume it has an exhaust with silencers for the street ?

[grump2]

It is seldom street driven, and when inspected we change the exhaust slightly.

The fuel of choice is Methanol, although the car can run on unleaded.

As for strictness, my other rotary (in the 1st gen thread) is legal, regularly street drive and makes over 600 rwhp!

The turbo by the way is a TA51R turbo and is not a ball bearing turbo.  On methanol we are running between 18 and 28 psi, on C16 we used to run 40 psi!

And yes, this car is untubbed in that the inner guards on the back have not been touched at all.  Many cars over here are taken too with a hammer etc to fit 9inch wide slicks under them, this one has 8.5 inch slicks and touches slightly both sides.  The other effect of this is the slicks are only 26 inches tall as opposed to the 9inch which is 28 inches tall, which makes a big difference to stability!

awesome stuff

We had a little accident

[grump2]

Having learned what happens when a brand new brake fails at the same time as a larger chute lifts you off the ground, we decided to re-engineer the car.....

It now has:-  Lenco 5 speed
                   28 x 9 tyres
                   Twice the roll cage for rigidity (no issues in the crash, not even bruising)
                   Less boost and much much more power.

First time out it ran a 9.08@145mph with 80% throttle second to fourth and bugger all in top (125mph half track with wrong diff gears). There is some video of it at http://www.dysonrotary.com.au/Videos/grumpyjambo2005.mpg.
