Tyres can only be an inch wider track than stock from memory. Sorry about the absence from the thread, been working like a dog and got a new toy on the weekend. A Ford FPV GT-P, 5.4 litre v8, this one has been built and has a Yella Terra, whipple type charger putting out around 500 rwhp...

Happy with it. And not overly heavy. Anything to keep the tyres in contact with the road a bit more haha. And as I said, to save my head. They are nicknamed the rollux for a reason lol

Rest of the pics, didn't get a chance to do the gates/sides yet

Aslong as it saves my head when or if it rolls over, I am tipping when it rolls over

Little update, got a roll bar bent up for it out of 3 inch pipe with a 3mm wall thickness. Taking a break from it atm but halfway through it, the sides/gates will follow the angle or the bar aswell As you can see it sits a little high Basically a rough before and after...

Yeah, I know I do. Still deciding on wrap bar or some sort of Caltrac setup

Thanks. I think someone else has another video of the same run from a different angle so will see if I can track it down

It's a hell of a lot of fun, take it off road, was down climbing and running around in mud last weekend and this week racing it on the track with out changing a thing. Did a 9.1 on the 1/8 and second spun for a fair way as you can here in the video

Took it to a test and tune yesterday, did okay. I still need to make up some tramp/axle wrap bars for it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fnXyv0r2uo&list=UUnMr8ej145zKFDy5iWVlBDQ&index=1

Ouch, do much damage?

Thank you. It's a hell of alot of fun, need to put more pictures up and stop being so lazy lol

Found the problem, broken wire inside the ignitor assembly, starts now. Just own't idle and I think turbo has a bad seal, but apart fromthat, all good :D

The two earth rings on the lower intake are bolted tightly, aswell as the earths to the chassis/body. I have fuel pressure there, even cracked the return slightly a cranked to see if thre was an air lock. Pulled number 5 lead and put a spare plug, rested against the turbo and cranked, it has...

Just a Background, ran fine about a week ago, pulled it off the road to change the turbo and a couple of other things. Pulled off the intake manifolds thinking I had a leaking gasket, turns out it was a broken pintle cap on the injector. Fixed all that, put it all back together, now won't fire...

I used nylon rope, it would work on one or two valves, butwould have to drop it back down and feed in more rope in some cases. Hopefully I won't have to do it again in a hurry. But got a feeling I will have to. Shims are about the to go back in and seal it up again. Then I will get started on...
