Redwarf Rebuild V4.0

[Redwarf]

Well, done bugger all to anything as I currently have a head cold that has inflated my head several sizes over it's already elevated proportions.

 

I did however measure the chokes on the webers last night with Teddy, because they looked inordinately big. They've been taken out to 38mm. Conclusion to that is one of three things.

 

1: Somebody doesn't know how to set up Webers.

 

2: Somebody couldn't afford 45's.

 

3: This engine could be the best $500 I've ever spent, and is going to throw me out the back window of the car.

 

I'm hoping for option 3. :lmao:

[roids70]

i think 3 is a a definate!!!

[Felix]

i'd say a combination of 1 and 2, though i do still think it was $500 well spent.

I actually concur with you Doug, but hell, a man IS allowed to dream! :lmao:

[Felix]

i'm sure that after you sort it out, it will haul ass. :D

 

geez, if it did need 38mm chokes, the thing should be running 48's. :lmao:

[NoPsi]

Hahahaha. I had just had visions of Rob going out the back window head first in a horizontal position grinning like an idiot while still attached to the steering wheel. Hahahaha.

[Teddy]

oh i soooo need to chop that one ^^

 

:(

 

ROFL

[Redwarf]

I still have it, it's still not finished, but it's close. New mounts are done, I just have to do the pedal box and bolt everything in. And my flares should arrive mext week. :lolcry:

 

 

[Redwarf]

......... and at the moment it looks like it's going to get the grunter 160hp motor, too.

[7shades]

Plus rep for use of the word "grunter" in appropriate context... :lolcry:

[Raven]

Out of curiousity, Where'd you source your flares from Rob?

[Redwarf]

Meridian Motorsport in Melbourne.

[Raven]

Awesome. Will be nice to see how they look. I scored my TE27 replica flares from a dude in the US of A and they're pretty sweet, just gotta have some fun cutting up the guards now :lolcry:

[Tally]

Looks wicked man. Wish I could do this to mine.

 

What do you think the added weight to the front of the car would do? Any negative/positive effects? As the TE27 came out with this engine I'm fairly curious on how they handle? as the rear is pretty lightweight.

 

This video on youtube gives a good indication:

 

Personally I think a rotary would suit them better. Smaller/lighter/powerful engine etc.

 

But the 2TG will have some balls don't get me wrong.

 

Also are you going to leave the early grill on it or update it to the later style?

 

Cheers

We'll soon find out about the handling! However it already has custom made adjustable height struts in the front, and it's usually done pretty good for itself in the past :fuzz: Yes the backs are light, and I tend to run the back at a lower ride height than the front. It also has the T-series out of Evo2 Dwarf with the 4.7 TRD slippery in it, so we'll suck that and see, too.

 

I can't go rotary and stay a Production Rally Car, and lets face it this car has almost 200 events under it's belt, a good rotary would rip the shell in half!

 

Early grille stays. :lolcry:
