Phoenix repaired and back
Got my car back from Fury Sportscars who have done an excellent job putting my axle back together after the trailing arm mount detached itself at
Snetterton. All the mounts have been drilled out to 1/2" and all the 12mm bolts replaced. Rear drums have been sorted out (one slave
wasn't even working) and the axle has been banded/gusset and reinforced, it also has adjustable rear arms so I can play with the angle of the
nose of the diff. Lots of other bits and pieces and the car is now ready for the season.
Car weighed in at 643Kg with 35l of fuel onboard. More than I was expecting but there is a lot of gubbins with the supercharger.

Sometime in April I think....27th off the top of my head. If it is dry I hope to be sub 90sec.....if I can get under 88secs it would be really good

What size are your rear tyres? I've got some 225s for mine but I'm not sure if they're going to fit under the standard wheel arch.

The fuel alone prob weights 35 o 40 kg and yes ll those bits to get extra power add up I did on my turbo conversions, especially when you dry sump
them aswell that extra oil ads a few kg,
Still I think you have plenty of power to over come it  seen the video looks rapid on the straight,
Nice car

The tyres are Avon ZZR 215/60 13" on 8" rims. They are actually closer to 235mm hence why they look so large.
The fuel would weigh 35Kg or so therefore the car comes in at 609Kg without fuel. 340BHP seems sufficent to move it forward in a
'meaningful' manner

Petrol has a density range of 0.71-0.77 g/ml.
If you have the densest petrol then 35litres will come to about 27kg.
If you are fueling with water then it will weigh 35kg.

Pedant
A pedant is a person who is excessively concerned with formalism and precision, or who makes a show of his or her learning.
Of course, Matt, it wouldn't go anywhere without fuel hence it is a silly thing to do without....

New 1300 series prop is on its way from D&F which will be the last bit of the old transmission left.
