The passenger seat must also stay under 2F regs. Also, it was always to remain road registered. Below is a complete list of what went into the car in the order it happened.

nice cars cal, look the business.

now the rest of you aren't giving him NEARLY a hard enough time!

cal do you take any flack for being taller than your rollbar?

akaryrye

iTrader: (5)

look closer, its RHD and that guy taller than the roll bar is his mate.

Cal

The tall guy is my dad, he's 6'4". I'm only 5'11", so I fit under it by 2" (which is the rule here). He's driving in the last two shots. It was just a practice day, so no big deal.

Is your race seat bolted to the floor? It looks like a sparco speed, is that correct?

Cal

It's a Sparco Sprint and it's on 10mm alloy rails bolted to the original bolt holes at the front and to the floor at the rear.

I'm just under 6'3, so when I see people fitting under their rollbars i get excited.
Have a web link for those 10mm rails?

Cal

Sorry mate, I had them custom made locally.

Hey just noticed that your blue car has a built engine outputting 205 hp at the flywheel (175-180whp?) not bad for a bp, mind spelling out a bit of what went into getting that extra 70-80hp? I guess higher lift/duration cams, bored and stroked to 2.0, and spinning to 9k along with some port work and higher compression?

Cal

It uses the standard inlet manifold (we have to), cams (builder won't disclose exact profile), 10.5/1 Wisco pistons (10 thou, so 1884cc), redline is 7200rpm with cut at 7500, Haltech E8, 4-2-1 extractors\headers & a 2 1/2" exhaust. The majority of work is in the head. It's had some 40hrs of porting done. Pretty impressive power considering the limitations of the catergory. The latest one he's done has 215hp.
