Re: Road/Track 172
It's a demo car for Sitech racing so not forged yet as trying to see what standard parts will take. Justnow it has intake , exhaust, tubular manifold and a efr turbo.
He went out in the knockhill round of time attack as a one hit wonder and ended up winning his class

Here is a short video from a couple of weeks ago at a wet reverse direction night at knock hill, I really couldn't get to grips with the track in reverse and also lack of traction in the wet but was a fun night non the less.

Re: Road/Track 172
Just put a deposit down on a gripper box with 13/60 fd , god knows when I will get around to fitting it as I seem to be out the country more than in it just now.
Will the standard clutch be ok with the lsd , I've never had it slip before but some of the force would of been lost in wheel spin.

Re: Road/Track 172
Well parts a piling up while I'm away on holiday I now have a gripper box, lightweight flywheel and some rear AST suspension to fit, only problem is I won't have time to fit any of it before I have to go back to work. So looks like that might be a job for Fraser and Stu lol.
Are ARP bolts worthwhile for the flywheel or just new standards and some lock tight ?

Re: Road/Track 172
Jon Foz kindly dropped the box off yesterday and flywheel turned up today
I gave the box a quick paint as it had been painted black in the past.
I will be dropping the car off to Fraser and Stu from on here for the job of fitting the parts while I bugger off to the other side of the world with work.

It's a Brian James mino max with folding hitch. I can't mind the sizes off the top of my head but with my 15mm spacers the car just fits.
Couple more pics here

Re: Road/Track 172
I now hope to go racing in the SLS challange at Knockhill next year :clap:. This is a Time Attack style series where the groups are divided by power to weight.
Classes: Based on Power at WHEELS
After reading the regs I need to make a few more changes, mainly saftey stuff with kill switches , fire system and also need a fuel sampeling point.
Ive just bought the Lifeline kit and kill switches from Jon Foz on here so will get that fitted over winter, the other thing I would like to do is move the ecu and fues box from the engine bay to inside the car. As I hate wiring this is a job im really not looking forward to.
Also got this thing fired up last week for the first time in over a year so NEED to get it back on track aswell.

- Pro: 450+ bhp/tonne, slicks allowed, race fuel, no blue book aero regs for rear wings etc
A: 350-450 = 100bhp margin
B: 270-350 = 80bhp margin
C: 210-270 = 60bhp margin
D: 160-210 = 50bhp margin
E: <160

I'm feeling that go kart!! What's the spec?
Its a 2006 intrepid chassis with 2005 Vortex 125cc engine (42bhp) , 6 speed box , 50mm axle ,tiller seat....
They are brilliant fun much more so than my old rotax max that i had, I have a spare 2006 vortex engine in the trailer thats not been ran since it was rebuilt.

Yip the engine thats in just now might be down on that a little as its due a piston soon , but 40/44 bhp is the norm for this class of kart they rev to 12500 rpm.

If you think thats crazy google Aixro XR50 , they are a small rotary engine that can be picked up with one hand but make 48 bhp

Run it on castrol r? Love the smell of that stuff. Lol!!

Thats crazy power for such a small engine! Guess with the high rpm and single cylinder, the torque output wont be that high.
I want to get my boy into karting as soon as he is old enough so will have to do my homework. He is only 2 just now so I have a few years yet. lol

Well Neil hired some help while he's abroad working.
Me and Stu made a start tonight on removing the old box, clutch and flywheel, ready for the new billet fly, ARP bolts, new clutch and box with gripper diff!
Very oily old box!

I knew the shifter seal was leaking but , dam that's a lot of oil on the inside of the housing lol
Glad the cars in good hands, can't wait to get it back on track with more grip and shorter gearing.
Need to get rid of all that messy power steering pipe work aswell, all the eps parts bought so that's the next job.

Didn't realise you guys were race engineers now! Need to remember that if mine is ever ready to race lol.
Well we never got back into this till tonight as we had to order a crankshaft seal as it looked weepy.
New lightweight flywheel and ARP bolts
New valeo clutch
All back together

Got a msg from Fraser.J. last night after he had gave it a quick test " your thing is rapid revs so quick" , so really looking forward to getting it back now. Will get one track day in to test out the difference the box has made, then pull it to bits to fit the AST rears and roll bar.
I also have electric power steering parts coming from SkidMarx.
