"Sadly it's not a cobra so will race in some other class."

Well spookypt, until some-one produces an inexpensive, basic racing cobra then it will just have to do.

Rebel, mate you can have any 2 of these re: Cobras....

BASIC
RACING
INEXPENSIVE

Actually no you can't.. Racng and inexpensive... Never seen that used in the same sentence..

I'd suggest Scotty and my Race Cobra has cost us less than a gocart even with the AUSD at 93 cents to the US. And its a Cobra.. Well Sorta!

We are now soooo off topic!

Those Formula Ford's are no slouch, that's for sure. Need more bum in seat time with the SL-R, it will be interested to see how many tall poppies it knocks off once it gets sorted. The power to weight ratio is mind numbing, might need to build the next one as a stroker though.

No problem, I've been told I'm always good for a laugh.

Paul's SL-R is now at our Gold Coast factory. My workers will be busy this week prepping it for the A Series race meet next weekend.

Went Westfield(1990), Cobra(1993) then Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniv(1995) got the kit from IFG USA shipped to Australia, X-Wife Canned the Countach and forced me to sell it before completed.


Ordering in a Lamborghini Miura from the United Kingdom in September and looking at ordering in the DRB 540 from Australia.

The Mirua is easy to build as a space frame and uses BMW and Jag parts, which I can get in Japan no worries, will be running a Toyota VVT-i 3.5L V6 Twin Turbo to a ZFQ Transaxle.

But having headaches with the BRD from OZ as only set up for Ford Falcon parts which are not in Japan.
