Over night parts from China are 3 weeks slower than over night parts from Japan

Waited 3 weeks for this

And now realised I don't have a spanner big enough

Just looking on summit website for wheels, only about 3,000 different wheels to choose from and they're cheap too

Managed to get the front end welded up by my dad

Just measured up for some radiator mounting tabs so need to cut those out, also have the fittings coming for all the water lines.

Also just waiting for an invoice from JBR in Australia for all my ecu and ignition so should hopefully have all that before Xmas.

Once all the fabbing is done it's all coming out again to change the subframe and get the flywheel bolted to the block.... Just need a massive torque wrench

What swear word dictates the correct torque to set it at?

Well if you tip the car or flip the engine stand it's tight enough m
Or use a cordless Milwaukee drive thingy and give it 12 ugga duggas

I was thinking of using my half inch wratchet and some locktite?

Had a chat earlier with my dad and we were in agreement that  rather than just doing drag events why I can't do half mile runs aswell?

All. I need is a larger fuel cell, I would say 5 gallons would be enough and possibly require a radiator with more volume, and I am prety sure they do the same size radiator I have got but it is 3 inches thick although the water temp should be alright

And I would also have to put an oil cooler in, (I'm not bothering with one for drag racing, the engine simply won't be running long enough to get the oil hot)

The current record is 177mph set by Rob Dahm in his 800 hp 3 rotor rx7... However what's the point in chasing and claiming records if no one else is competing against you to achieve the same goal lol

Any thoughts on half mile runs?

How long is the drag strip then ?
I thought they were pretty much the same thing
Oops
Sorry
