Graham, could you fit an M5 diff in there without too much modification?

Rob.

graham bahr · 16 Mar 2006, 19:15 (Ref:1550444)

the e30 m3/325 diff is basically a 5 series one and normally bullet roof, if i'm going to break anything in the transmission it will probably be drive shafts

Entry in for Brands. I'm pretty sure we're in the "to be lapped" group as the BX weighs in a couple of kilos less than GB's Beemer and has a paltry 180 bhp.

Al Weyman · 16 Mar 2006, 19:49 (Ref:1550470)

I think its only a 5 and an 8 lapper (I think) on the GP circuit so we should be able to stay unlapped Carrera, I look forward to seeing you there.

R59 · 16 Mar 2006, 21:27 (Ref:1550577)

I'll be with you Al! Try not to lap me. I'll be following Graham trying to put some broken horsey power onto the tarmac, or navigating through the side windows!

djinvicta · 16 Mar 2006, 21:33 (Ref:1550580)

Rob; These guys are talking 5 laps, not 2...

R59 · 16 Mar 2006, 22:05 (Ref:1550606)

It's OK Dave, I've ordered a 208L drum of valvoslick 20/50 and by my calculations, I should last at least 10 laps.

The issue will be finding a piece of tarmac that's not covered in oil after three....

djinvicta · 16 Mar 2006, 22:29 (Ref:1550619)

If ya cant overtake em, ya slide em off eh? Seriously Rob, have you cured this problem? Weve spent two years talking oil with you and you still havent employed Red Adair. Is Harry going to do the laps, Im sure despite all the banter, we all wish you luck. Least youll have Al to keep you company and kick your a..

really looking forward to seeing the car in action (I managed to miss it's Silverstone outing despite being at the meeting - I saw it's return though). Powerslides on the exit of Druids would be appreciated

(just copy Mr Thurston).

R59 · 17 Mar 2006, 08:53 (Ref:1550874)

Just working out how to make the tank (9.5" diameter) fit, when it comes with no fixings.

I did think about some self tappers through the floor into the bottom of the tank!! ;-)

And powerslides along the straights will be possible if my experience at Silverstone last week is anything to go by!

Rob.

Cable ties and some duct tape

Al Weyman · 17 Mar 2006, 09:42 (Ref:1550915)

Rob how the Moon eyes tank is fitted is they fabricated a flat plate, square at the back and semicircular concave at the front with 4 holes drilled that match to the ring of bolts that allow you to split the tank, the plate was then welded to the cage and the tank bolted through the holes using the longer versions of the bolts that split the tank (if you get my drift. At the lower part of the tank is a simple 1 inch steel strap going around the tank and fixed to the roll cage, the ends are turned at right angles and drilled to accept a nut and bolt which is tightened to lock the strap to the tank, a bit like a giant jubilee clip.

I still think a few self tappers up through the floor would do the job.

Is that 200mph Duct tape?

Rob.

Eric's cured his understeer problems

.

Rod Birley · 23 Mar 2006, 21:05 (Ref:1558981)

I wondered who "borrowed" those wheels.

Shawn · 23 Mar 2006, 22:19 (Ref:1559042)

The "you know which" website has just been updated with the provisional timetable and un-confirmed entries for Brands.

Those Carlos Fandango wheels should spread the weight nicely....

for getting out of gravel traps

BOOM BOOM !

Al Weyman · 23 Mar 2006, 22:28 (Ref:1559054)

Bloody hell what a line up, be like the M25 in the rush hour for the first lap or so.

Rod Birley · 23 Mar 2006, 22:31 (Ref:1559060)

We have made the front page of the Brands Hatch website.

chezza · 24 Mar 2006, 01:07 (Ref:1559149)

Oooh yeah...you can just about make out thats the escort!

Shawn · 24 Mar 2006, 07:35 (Ref:1559386)

Look on the 2004 Images page of the "you know which" website to see the full size photo. You will get a much better view of MY artisitc work.

Alternatively just click here

who said club motorsport is dead? it just needs the right encouragement.

its gonna be a good one

good to see Barry Barnes in the entry list

Rod Birley · 24 Mar 2006, 08:59 (Ref:1559432)

Yep, Barry popped round the other night. Full of enthusiasm and keen to get back "on track". He is now 4 stones lighter, reckons it could be worth nearly a second a lap!!

Al Weyman · 24 Mar 2006, 11:23 (Ref:1559493)

4 stones! Blimey I thought I was doing well at a Stone and half off, better keep it up still a long way to go.

graham bahr · 24 Mar 2006, 11:35 (Ref:1559500)

Al, Barrys been rather unwell to put it mildly, so i dont think he had much choice in the matter.
