How to loose 200kgs?....

[Gareth]

Sooo.... Back to the start?... Just about ready for the big weigh in

[vlad01]

any advances on the engine?

[Gareth]

Nah, need to hit the track now, should have raced it last weekend...

Look forward to an engine re-do...

[HQ355]

That's a clean commodore !
Much left to do ?

[vlad01]

I've looked into achieving high comp by means of virtually interfering the piston to the head, massively shaved alloy heads with flat faced valves to reduce chamber cc and the best I could do was about 12ish :1. Custom profiled pistons are a must on said engine deign.

Roof number and a little more sign writing, hit the wheel aligner and scales

[Gareth]

Here's a photo of the before

And after...

Wow... It's been a long road, thanks everyone for all the input

But... That isn't the true weight of the car, one of the load cells is a bit out (same amount as first weigh) so this still gives a great idea of the loss. I have another 'higher quality' set of scales which I'll put under the car tonight and post the real weight...

[Dylan]

Thats fantastic have to be happy with that. Less weight and more power too? How is the tuning going?
I've just started a car this week first time using 11P (but running a manual trans)

[Gareth]

Yeah more power, much more torque thanks to e85 conversion.

Learned a lot about tuning on this mission, especially with the new fuel. I think that with the dfco wired in and working as well as the closeness of the tune, hopefully will see similar fuel economy. (Very important in endurance racing)...
