  1. No...I have tried to find it without success! After we sold it, it was on the cover of car conversion magazine in the mid 90s when they drag raced it head to head with rally cars and an f1 car... Which it won. But nothing since then.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Yes all the above pics were at York... But the car was based in Bexleyheath Kent. The axle was an 8 inch ford. (Not 9 inch that a lot of drag cars use) with I think 4.9 cwp And various gearboxes including borg warner Sierra cosworth box.. T5 I think. Also tried a powerglide auto box..

  6. No its not the same car. But our car did spend some time at Trevor's in the early 90s. And Trevor built and fitted the nitrous to our car free of charge as a sponsor deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  18. Yes pretty mental. The gearbox was a borg warner t5. With standard internals. And never broke anything in it. The back axle / diff was an 8 inch ford. With 4.9 gears. We also tried a powerglide auto box. But that didn't work out very well I don't think there was enough torque in a high revving 4 pot
  19. Hi we sold it about 1992. But it was used only as a race car after about 1991 So the above dates regarding tax are about right
  20. Hi. I found some more pictures Sorry still no close ups of the motor
  21. 12.3 I can't remember terminal speed. After we sold it it ran in the 11s. Would love to know what happened to it
  22. i will try to find an engine bay pic, not sure that i have any close ups ... didn't seem important at the time. has various different engine specs over the years. the final spec was ; All steel / forged pistons / total seal piston rings / ceramic coated pistons & ports / dry sump system / full race head with david vizard shaped inlet / exhaust ports . sorry can't remember cam spec / twin 50 carbs. MSD ignition system / crank triggered / wasted spark (no distributor) . RS500 block, wills rings. twin plate paddle clutch with a very heavy flightwheel ! (not light as you might expect) i think the flywheel was from an XR4x4 plus the trick 3 stage nitrous system - various jettings were tried
  23. And a picture just after it was painted and before the glass was put in You can see the wheel tubs and firewall, cage etc
  24. Photos taken about 1990. Was powered by a 2 litre pinto. Twin bottle 3 stage nitrous system. Ran low 12s and used to lift the wheels and launch really well Most panels were fibreglass including the roof. Only the rear quarters and back panel were steel Most of the floor was aluminium
