Lets just say there is some trickery going on to keep it looking sort of old school.

Are you starting your own cobra car club Uncle?? You know there's plenty of existing clubs you can just join?



Well done though....

You generally have to reach 10 posts before you can post an image.
Jump on a couple of posts and make a comment and you should be right to go.

Thanks for the information about the 10 posts Boxhead. Last year I bought Philm's orphan. The attention to detail on the build is a credit to him. His son is an auto electrician and the wiring is so neet. Getting so much pleasure out of it.
Mark.

26.3@189.5kph. Car just hasn’t got enough power (259rwhp) to punch hole though the air. It took the last 300 meters to go from 180 to 189.5kph.

I’m in the shed planning the next move. Either I pull the ITB’s and add a turbo(s) or I build a new stroker motor. The motor in the car only has 2,000odd kms on it now and is perfect for some boost.

Uncle I would have a chat with Ned from Hercules Race Engines in Sydney, he is a wizard with small block Fords.

Cheers,
