if Paul had his way we would all be running Turbo Rotaries, he knows his stuff with them & yes they held a few records with the Gold Mazda 323 Craig may remeber it as the Gold 323 that i think Gary Pocock ran for a few years in the late 80s early 90s regards rod |

i guess there is a cruise liner floating around out there in the bright blue sea that has a parcel on it heading this way with my luck it was the one that went belly up last week but seriously the main hold-up at this point is the windows once the engine is dyno'd again i have to order a convertor & a diff centre as the exact specs for this are unknown untill we see were it makes power & Tq to as for the 374 we have the convertor for that already regards rod

Either way, looks like a good thing. If you want to borrow my jetski to raid the cruise ship, let me know......waiting is always the worst part of anything. The last time i saw Johnsy was at PRE when he was picking up his new engine - I tuned his "clutch" man Chris's XR8 before he wrote it off - i have seen those guys work on the car inbetween rounds, looks like a scene out of ER in the triage section...... Im pretty sure a lot of the QLD boys were using the jerico - John Barbagello's 7 sec Bgas pass was with one, Xerakias i think used a Gforce, Ian brown used a jerico, Phil taylor i think still has one in his Falcon..... Any wonder i haven't been out to a meeting for a while, my chequebook is starting to quiver at the thought! Best of luck Chris

Have you had the overhang checked it looks to have a reasonable nose on it? Only ask as Pro and Superstock have different regs on it from memory

Its been a long time, after settling on a few changes engine is all done setting in the car, the auto has now also been fitted.
Since the last post the cars rolling chassis has had some new fabrication changes for better safety reasons and and better design. Just about every thing has been replaced brand new, windows, brakes, lines etc, wiring, gauges the only thing that was kept over was the Auto. Wiring can now be finished, windows back in, new wheels tyres, diff center and pipes on, we are hoping to make it out for a run before Christmas. I put a can of soft drink on the ground so you can get an idea how low these cars are to the ground.

Last one, really looking forward to see this car hit the track, then I can leave mine alone this is way more fun to be involved with.
Oh bugger when have finished the car we have to get stuck into finishing of the the 10 meter enclosed trailer.

Where's Rod gonna test it, up at Heathcote? I spose it's a bit more relaxed up there and gives him a bit more time to set it up and test it

After 3 1/2 years and plenty of coin this factious rebuild of almost everything now being new on this car, we hoping it will be ready for a few launches at our forum drag meet this weekend.
