I certainly do Dale.

Well, I try to at least once a week. Yup this is the one. Page 5 is the install of the flywheel and 6-speed box.

Cheers,

Mate I just jumped from page to page reading bits and pieces and this thing is amazing, :lol:

you really like building out side the square, Very impressive Danny.
I enjoyed the run with you on you tube, simply amazing :mrgreen:

I guess an NA6 clutch would be no problem in mine if it can handle all the power this beast has.

After seeing all of the work you've done on this one, I know the NC will be a knock out.

Cheers

It's a mates car James. He's always wanted a V8 powered LJ Torana, so we are getting stuck into it!

It's possible. Once we had got through the Clubman 3 times and Sprint twice, there wasn't enough time for another full session, so we opened the National up for all cars to do free laps - untimed.

Danny - 1:30:88 with a lot of sideways... :mrgreen:

Noice.

You look like you were having a bit of fun in that sprint session Danny. Shame those guys in front were holding you up through the corners.
A good day just bad luck I had to leave early.
Cheers
Dale

Boags, I wonder how much quicker I could have been without all the sideways action :?:

It's always fun finding the limit of lateral traction though! :twisted:

I certainly was Dale.

It took a couple of sessions to get the fresh tyres scrubbed in....so it was really going well by the time we started on the Sprint Circuit sessions. It really shows that hp isn't everything, athough it is a bit more fun....just look at the times zoomzoom turned in in a stripped out NA8 with only an exhaust system, adjustable spring platform dampers and just about full slicked semi-slicks!!! Very impressive....the racing boys better look in their rear view mirrors once Tim returns in his NA6T....because they will need to move over and let him past!!!!

Look forward to seeing you behind the wheel next time.

Cheers,
Danny
