Hi,

Lawsy- that will keep you honest at
full chat.

Does, or do they suffer 'bump steer''
issues ?

Looking at the steering tie rod in the
picture, I would guess yes, a lot ?

Regards,

The Gorilla.

Make sure you do mate - said mate's westfield blew up at Donny, they are designed to tilt during cornering and the oil system can't cope with being in a car!

There have been a few dry sump failures on the bike engined cars too Nathan.

I have spoke to various teams running said engines for over 2 years with no issues.

They have a billet, baffled sump with a gyroscopic pick up to minimise possibilty of oil surge.

I am not tracking it until next year, so gonna personalise it over the winter.

Matt- No turbo plans just yet, that will come if this engine blows

Just took it out for a blast, its very quick but not as quick as it could be, as it has a long diff fitted to it. I have 2 spare diffs with different ratios so will see how she is on track. Its most definitely fun, took my cousin out in it and all we did for 5 miles was giggle like mad. Chalk and cheese compared to the CSL.

They can be silly fast, when my mate first drove his car it had a 1500 race engine in it, fooking quick!
