After people wondering so bad whats happening to my car,
I decided to let go of some info...
To start with, I invested in a new drivers seat.
I bought it late autumn 2002. it is a fibre glas Momo Start.
Since the target for 2003 is to run 11's the regulations demand a roller cage.
It is now mounted, but I have no pics so far.
The weight of the cage is around 35-40 Kg,
and therefore those kilos had to be taken from someware else.
I chose the doors as one of the things to save weight on,
a nother thing was the windows that are now replaced with plastic.
(no pics yet)
An Iveco truck intercooler will probably have better flow
than the Saab 9000 IC I used during 2002.
The clutch is as custom as it can be from my point of view.
New injectors are hopefully going to help me get the feul needed.
Then were off to the crank.
My major problem as it occurs,
with two broken cranks last spring...
At first this year I had one aimed for me.
It was mashined and shoot peened. all that was left to do with it was to balance it.
Two hours after I picked it up at the balancer guy I found a crack in it.
Not much to be sad about, but to bring on to crank number two.
I spent two nights mashining it and then off to the balancer again.
It is now united with its crank case, rods and pistons, gearbox and so on.
The only thing remaining on the engine it selfe is to finish the head.
I will try to get some more build up pics up before I get it out,
but Im pretty keen on getting it out as soon as possible,
so who knows?
I might have it on the road in a week or two. (not)
