Tuff car Brenx, great to watch you run, the old clevo sounds awesome

Craig · 20-11-2005, 08:32 PM

Tough stuff man, well done.

brenx · 21-11-2005, 07:40 AM

Thanks guys, I had a ball. Someone forgot to install the aircon in my car, I was cooking!

I've got plenty of mods to keep me busy for awhile now. I'm very pleased that nothing broke. It was very reliable. I could have drove up, raced and drove home as per usual. I had an offer I couldn't refuse so it went on a trailer.

The only drama's I had were on Saturday.

a) Threw a fan belt. Not sure why.
b) Engine was getting up to 100deg C. Change of coolant solved that on Sunday.

**Chris** · 21-11-2005, 08:51 AM

well done man, nice mph.

Kev_BLNXR8_Ute · 21-11-2005, 09:44 AM

Not me I'm afraid. I was in Bendigo by 8:30pm Friday. I'm not sure if it'll see as much street duty as I would like. Second time I had it out I had a police officer hanging out of his car window. Yes, he was driving too. Well he was supposed to be. He slowed to 70kph (80kph zone) to allow me to catch up but I had to turn into my estate before I caught up. I don't wan't police hassle. Especially when I was just sitting at a T intersection waiting for a safe time to pull out.

JG3282 · 21-11-2005, 12:17 PM

Well done Brendan, your car was consistent and ran well all weekend. You did some fully shik burnouts as well mate.

Pilch · 21-11-2005, 12:44 PM

That is a real good start straight up Brendan. 10's is a given when you get everything in the car working together. Good to hear you had a good reliable weekend also! Looking forward to seeing it run in the flesh

Without a doubt. It'll see a few meets if I'm not working.

Walkinshaw · 21-11-2005, 03:07 PM

any video captured of these runs?

Top improvement there Brendan.

dansedgli · 21-11-2005, 03:11 PM

Whats next on the list? Will it crack the 10's?

There's in the vacinity of $5000 worth to do at a rough guestimate.

- Widen 15" rims to 8" - 9" (most likely 8")
- Purchase full slicks
- Replace distributor (it was a *****, not enough initial. I had to rest my foot on the accel pedal)
- 90/10, 30/70 shocks
- Caltracs or the likes
- 6 cylinder front springs
- 750dp HP Pro carb (not 100% definate yet but I want a more responsive throttle)
- Pacemaker 4095 extractors
- Seal the carb off, so air is only entering via the scoop.

My current 16" slicks still have life in them (5-10 pass's) but I'll give them to someone who wants to pay for them to be taken off the rims.

Can't see it hitting the strip any time soon. It's getting too hot which the engine didn't like. Summer isn't a good time to race. You go slower the hotter it is.
