philbey Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 Sweet mother of god. Tough as. I'm a big fan of the CA18 turbo, I used to have a poobird with one. That thing would absolutely hook. Quote

beerhead Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 Looks like a pretty decent build. But I'm mystified by why you'd run such a heavy rear spring rate, most 5 tonne trucks have springs that heavy. How's the traction in this thing? Quote
D1doony Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 this is sweet. power to weight would be epic win Quote

EDIT: be interesting to see our cars line on the drag strip. Very similiar specs, yours a piston mine a rota......... Edited February 1, 2009 by 13BT_KE20 Quote
Ke10-Hoon Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Posted February 1, 2009 Thanks for all the kind feedback, it just geez me up more. What pedal box is that? cheers! - 26rolla Its a tilton peddle box. Looks like a pretty decent build. But I'm mystified by why you'd run such a heavy rear spring rate, most 5 tonne trucks have springs that heavy. How's the traction in this thing? - beerhead I was getting a huge amount of axle tramp. The leaf spring would always wind up. At first i thought it was the shocks, so I played around with them first. I was told stiffer was better (yeah... not for my arse). With the Koni shocks you can change the valves. Originally it was around the 300ish mark, then changed again to 450ish (can't really remember). It seam to help a little with the tramping, so i up'd the rate again to what it is now. It will be changing again. LOL. But the ride is very stiff. The cal-tracks stoped the tramping. Traction wise is fine if your not hard on the throttle. Never seen anything quite like it. Any numbers on it yet?? - 67Rolla-Ken If you mean 1/4 mile times. No. I'm still waiting for the slicks to come in, and a overflow bottle. nice, engineered? - Jono Yes. Quote
Bowler Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 WOW...that thing looks sweet. well done on the build. I love the complete stock look of the exterior, and interior for that matter. very cool... Quote
