Clive's 400 BHP Super GT RX-8 Race Car

[clive]

Today we have mostly been destroying trailers :Thumbsup!

Sort of relevant as its all connected with going back racing.


As some of you know getting the race car on and off the trailer was a performance mostly because it was a little too narrow plus I went over a speed bump a little fast and bent the poor thing :3Confused

However I still want it so it fits in the garage :rolleyes:

Solution, cut it up, drive a tractor over the bed and re-engineer the thing to build a slightly wider, stronger trailer :burnout

Well Clive it certainly look like a snug fit!!

Do you have to take the wheels off to get it in said garage?

Yes it rolls in on its hubs so I can fiddle it past the entrance

Should not pinched in a hurry! :Giggle

As mine is covered with a few broken rear opening clips and parked at the side of the house....it has become somewhat of a local wildlife haven! Have not actually found an animal in there but there is a smell and evidence in there!:eek:

Don\'t worry we have extended the A frame for a new whizzy winch

Quick update, we now have a trailer that is suitably strengthened (shown upside down) that is now also wider so the car fits easily!

Also tows better with the A frame extended and a bit cut off the back to compensate

Made a box to seal off the pumps etc from me that should keep the scrutineers happy and finally finished tidying the engine bay how I want it.

Fuel pressure gauge all installed plus big red oil light, plus tidied a few things up in the engine bay to get it what I now call finished.

Two weeks to Snetterton :Thumbsup!

Looking realy nice glad it\'s all getting sorted now.
And that trailer looks a lot safer now.
