Oran Park Sprints
We had a round of our sporting car club at oran Park on the week end.
PhilN, Karen, Margaret and Myself all had a run in our cobras. Had a great day with some very respectable times. Here are some pics, take note of Philns wheel lifting off the ground as he feeds in the power out of a turn. Awsome to see sitting behind him. You can also see the Queen adding 25kgs of mud to the undercarridge, cold tyres can do that. We had a ball can't wait till next time. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...hil_Large_.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...l_M_Large_.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...eel_Large_.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...irt_Large_.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...t_2_Large_.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...vin_Large_.JPG Phil |

It was a top day . i was trying out a whole stack of mods including power steering,oil cooler and new spings.
The Mizzi cobra was flying....blew my doors off down the straight:LOL: :o :eek: Phil:) |
Sensational phil,
looks like I'm going to join sscc to keep you and Margs company, Just did my brakes up big disc all around now so I should be able to stop rather than drive off the circuit I saw Margs on Sat her tyres looked trashed you guys must of had a big day Talk soon;) |
The quicker you go the harder it is to stop!!
HI Peter,
Excellent, good to have another cobra to wrestle with. We had a great time and we had a chance for all three of us to be together on the track. The scruteneer on the day was, how can I say this, well he either needed a good r88t or a good sh&T. He picked me up for not having the right volume of oil catch can, in engines over 2 ltrs you need at least a 3 ltr catch can. I too have upgraded my brakes, 365 x 38 with 6 piston APs on the front and 328 x 26 with 4 piston APs on the rear. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...818_Large_.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...826_Large_.JPG I think these will stop me.

Great pics, how do you find the ap's phil are you using the ap master cylinder as well? Do you have a shorter and firmer pedal with these. I was looking at upgrading to a similar system however using the 4 spot front and rear. What pads are you running. The set up looks great.

Looks like a great day...
Who owns the purple coloured cobra in the pics? I would like to learn more about this colour... cheers Sled |
Answers
HI Kanga,
Not sure how they work as I haven't tried yet, a long story short the company who did these did not do a real good job of the brake lines and I have had to redo them. I am running Tilton short series mastercylinders 3/4 for the rear and 5/8 for the front. The pedal feels ok a bit longer in the stroke to what I have had so that should be better. HSVREDSLED, The Purple car is Margaret O'Dowds, it is actually one of the original Coca Cola cars. She is a member of the NSW Club but also owns BJs Shirts, you can contact her on bjstshirtmarg@bigpond.com. Phil |

So Andrew,
the interior would need to match, yes? Bone maybe, but you'd have to sit on that... Richard |
Ah no...Has to be black Im afraid...that would be just too much "Pepper White"... :D

In that case Andrew it will need to be " Panther Black":D :D :D Mini Freak in my ear again, you think she would leave well enough alone:LOL: |
A very nice colour is our Marg's cobra.Specially when it was in my garage next to mine even though only for a night.

From memory it is a turbo charged V8 too!
There is another Cobra that is purple that should be on the road soon too. I think it is the Commodore colour. Ben |
