Well done for running it chap, had a smile on me face.

Top job and look forward to more 4 rota action

I think the thread title needs and update again :rollin

\'Carls 4 rotor project moves noisily along\'

definetly one of the highlights of the event whens the engine going in the rx3 then Carl (your other rx3 shell would look fab back halved and with some serious slicks under it )

my god!!  that thing makes a lovely noise.  Was something else to see her running and hear that incredible noise.  I swear you could drown out an earthquake with that.

Oh yeah, and thanks again for finding the time amongst everything else to take that trip out to map my car.  She purred up the strip and all the way back to London last night!  Just want it to sound like your now

I totally agree Mike infact I\'d even go as far as saying it should be made into a sticky thread.

consider it stuck ... what we need now is a video. I\'m sure I saw Glenn with a video camera so it shouldn\'t be very long

I\'ve got 1 aswell, Anna had trouble holding the camera steady from all the vibration/noise when Carl started satans chariot up, plus we got the 1st run on film.

I would love to see some video footage.
From in the car I cannot tell what it is like from the outside.With my helmet on and all of the noise going backwards it is pretty comfortable and fairly quiet,so I have no idea what it sounds like to you guy\'s.
A vid would hopefully give me some idea of what you guys were seeing and hearing!
I really appreciate all of the kind comments.I nearly did not bring the car because it is a bit premature really,I was still working on her at 3.00pm Saturday afternoon,but managed to get her into a reasonable working order to demo it,all be it but tamely at the moment.I know that some people may have been dissapointed with how it was pretty slow,but it will improve as time goes on.
I will start to do some serious testing in the next few weeks and months.
Regards
Carl

Thanks for that Glenn,
Good to see it go up the strip.
I had a bit of a miss at around 6000 rpm happening at each gear change,it is good for me to use and see what is going on.
On the Monday I was taking it about 1000 to 1500 rpm higher on medium throttle,having made an adjustment or two,but did not want to go any higher for the sake of the bearings.
I obviously need to get some miles on it and then tune it for 9500/10,000 rpm.The timing is very conservative at the moment too,so when I put a little more advance in that will increase the power alot.
Regards
Carl

If you want a driver to take it up the strip so you can watch and note helpful things to do in the tuning Carl just give me a shout :rollin

You will have to buy me some earplugs though :p

[MikeLMR]

awesome video ... the noise is still great even via the speakers !

you can really notice the misfire on the video, I can\'t imagine how difficult it must be to tune somthing like that on carbs ... who on earth do you ask for help for example!

I hope this has been posted up on the aussie forums to quell some of the doubters.

[20B_boy]

I\'m sure the man will have it on efi soon enough...

Who was doubting what on ausrotary?

[MikeLMR]

a few people were getting in a flap when Carl was asking what turbo he should run on his 4 rotor ... nothing major just the usual forum stuff.

[Dan Norton]

Carl, its totally fantastic.....cant wait to see the progress of it now its up and running!

Good luck with everything....it will be monsterous when you get it testing, and tuning etc etc.

Nice one that man! :wave
