here´s som info on whats going on in my garage at the moment !
1: Purposly built driftcar, an RWD Mitsubishi EVO 2 1994
Stock topspeed with 15" 195/55 wheels, 240bhp is 240kph
I have three sets of different icetires to try out
#1: 145/80-15 iceracingtires with 3308mm studs in each tire (so called rally snowtires)
#2: 205/50-17 TOYO SnowProxes studded wintertires (stock street legal)
#3: homemade icetires using 185/55-15 racingslicks with 25mm x 6mm bolts/nuts
fitted to the tires, 170pcs in each tire
Enginespecs:
Wiseco 8:1 pistons
Wiseco pistonrings
Eagle conrods
ARP bolts everywhere in the engine
Clevite race bearings
raceportad head
Matchported intake/exhaust channels
matchported exhaust manifold (DNP) & intakemanifold
Cometic multilayer steel headgasked
1240cc B J P RACE injectors
AEM fuel rail, modifyed with twin 10mm entry & single 8mm return line
DN Performance ehaust manifold coated on inside
Precision 680hk turbocharger
Balanceshaft removalkit
NGK Bp6es sparkplugs with 0,5 gap
10,5mm race ignitioncables
NX Nitruos kit (roughly 200bhp) coming soon
Oilcatchtank 0,75L using 3pcs small airfilter
4" K&N airfilter (big model)
VEMS fuelinjectionsystem
Running on E85 (Ethanol) as fuel, the engine gives about 550bhp @1,7bar
If I´m in 4th gear @ 2k revs & i floor it, then nothing happens, but at
4400revs the tires start to spin all the way to the revlimiter at 8500rpm
1500rpm higher revlimiter than stock which "should" enable me to reach 300kmh on tarmac.

2: "HYBRID" gokart 250cc
I bulit this kart to attend Swedish landspeedcompetition in June -09, but this was
cancelled due to sudden insurance issues.
So i have had some months now trying out what works & what does not.
here is a video of my friend Rasmus (15yrs old) attending a driftingpractice with the kart,
gearing in the video is 12/17 & he uses only seciond gear

nearly new 125cc shiterkartframe with only 2 races on it
.jpg]
Suzuki RM 250-91 ex: Chesterfield factoryengine: 55bhp+ & 5 speed.
Radiator is from an Honda NSR125R -98
gearing will be 18 front & 17 rear
0,28bar fuelpump with returnline to gastank
intakepipe
airfilter/exhaust
Batteryholder:
remowed front brakes
first time on wheels:
guarddog on duty
The 18front/17rear gearing = 262kph if the engine will reach 8500rpm in fifth gear, but with the
ice-racing"studds" fitted around the wheels, the gearing is about 12% higher = a lot & extra speed
- New version studs:
- Old version studs with too much grip:
- Superkart frontspolier
