Hey to all, Bad news from my part. I have a wedding that has come between me and the challange and wont be able to make it afterall. I regret this very much as I realy like the concept and having allready built a very fast 1200 I know it is fun and would realy like this contest to continue. Therefor...

you guys forgot about me?
I dont see my name in the list of participants.
20 juli, I´ll be there.

it is very important to keep the wear of the axial bearing in mind. I once put on an other flywheel aswel, measured the endplay and shimmed it out. When I was ready the engine turned just a tiny little bit. Turned out I had the right axial play but the play was between the engine case and the sides ...

I will be present, can't be entirely sure the 1200 will be done but the fastback will be there. It all depends on money and time , still building the house and stuf.

Pm me the bankaccount number and I'll back up my words with money.

Those look very familiar

I thought about welding pistons too but discarted the idea immediatly.

Hope you can pull it off, would be a great way to bump CR

20/7 works for me and the fastback was allready dyno`d there with the 1600 engine it has now. I was very pleased with Fred´s work and I`m sure it will be a good dynoday if it´s over there. He was also impressed with my ´craftsmanship´ back then so I think the nitrous will be a go.
Go Go 1200 dynoday

Guess thats my fault, as said before, I can read or desipher german just fine so don't mind me.
It's writing a good sentence that`s hard for me.

very nice crank, takes away one more part from the `break`list

standard Type3 injectionmanifold, should fit nicely with the type 3 cooling and the fastback.

My LPG mixer arrived, it has 70 mm hosemounts but the passage is oval in shape. De slide that is visible moves with vacuum and works like a SUcarb. When the slide moves away it uncoveres a slit in the fuelfeedrod. The shape of this slit gives the abilaty to finetune the mixture. The idle mixture is ...

Can we make a list of suitable pistons for the challange? http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/123692.jpg 77mm 77,5mm 78mm Pin diameter 20mm? compression height? Dome in a suitable position? pistons rings? I found these pistons that we´re used in the mazda 1400 engine from the GLC or great little...

In the turbocar we ran the 1200 pistons into detonation at 1.6 bar boost for several seconds a few times, the pistons were fine. I´ll take my chances , a good tune should make it all last. But I am worried about the FK 44 cam and the 8.5 compression but I can't go higher without bigger domes which I...

This is the car. Probably the first 1200 fastback ever with a racing pedigree. http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/61380.jpg All benzine stuff will be removed and the car will be run on LPG only. One line running too the vaporizer feeding the throttle bodys One line feeding liquid LPG into the i...
