Chris59 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Awesome sound, Chris, thanks for posting this video. It seems that this kind of beast is not easy to move on slow motion, not really a surprise..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 That has to be the ugliest TR8 ever built, and the colour scheme does nothing for it. Fast 'n' Bulbous, to quote the Captain. I thought the LM TR8 and the Drag Car were of dubious proportions, but they look positively svelte in comparison . . . . At least it seems a great deal easier to manoeuvre than the LM or Drag cars, and about half the volume of the dragster ! Keep up the good work Chris.

MadMarx Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Found on the right side cracks in the body shell which are now welded and strengthened. I also move the oil tank to the trunk. Started to remove the oil hoses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MadMarx Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 And now in a better view: All tubes and stuff came from Bastuck. Special made mufflers to fit under the car and very short to let the pipes go to the sides. Cheers Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I think it will do okay on the first few try outs and with a little tweak here and there I hopefully gain speed. Saw at RA that the right bank of the engine runs leaner than the left. Need to check that. AND I try to install the rim vents to the car. Was that RA in Perth? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
