Thanks all!
Mike, I may need to chat about those outers...
Mike, the '41 isn't mine anymore, and they made a few odd changes to it and then struggled to get 160km/h out of it last year...
Louise, if you are serious I would be absolutely honoured.....
Sid, if I do need to go that route I'll be asking for more detail.
Vic - thanks for the info. So a I assuming that there is a factor of safety in the speed ratings? There aren't really any records, classes or even much in the way of requirements at the moment
. H-rated should give me a few more options...
Those cloverleaf shaped exhausts (as fun as they were to make
) will be ditched in favour of a full, hopefully reasonably 'tuned' system as besides the current open hood sides (I will be enclosing them) I think I'm probably throwing away a few hp there...
I will also be looking at various other aero improvements - not sure exactly how much cooling I may need (it does run pretty cool on the road), and I'd need to quantify the losses from the open grille before deciding on building a tank or radiator in tank set-up - I do still want to have a regular driver too, without too much effort to swap out bits for the event.
