Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Steve I think that a stripped out Busa car will be competetive as I ran mine in H for a few events and it was on the pace despite being fully road legal and weighing 490kgs! I even beat Tommo in the Flymo at Cadwell Park! I ran crossply slicks (9.2" rears) and the 3.14 sierra diff gave reasonable top speed Nicks supercharged Busa also went every well in H When I look back at that Busa it was only the engine that was well developed, there was so much I could have done with the rest of the car. So if Steve gets the handling, brakes and weight sorted, he will have a very competitive car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M444TTB Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 While not expecting to do well I am really hoping to have a car in the paddock at Castle Combe come the spring. Worst case I can pretty much enter it as it stands (once Steve has finished with it anyway!) although I think I need some sort of second spring on the carbs.

Mid life crisis Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Now that is a novel idea, an eight valve low cost speed series class Where the really quick drivers can downgrade, to a more cost effective form of motorsport Sadly it will never happen as the eight valve champion might win the series :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander72 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 MLC - I was only joking on giving everyone a cross flow… half the fun is trying to beat a zetec/duratec/xe :-) I'm still trying but enjoying it all the same :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
