starting the tube V8 car, no turning back now Options

[byndbad914]

Disassembled the beast over the past couple of weeks in Orange and then AJ (the guy building the tube chassis) did some minor cutting (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) I am getting pretty excited about the project though, should be cool if every crazy idea I have works out... never really know until you start piecing the puzzle together.

All things work on paper, only some things work in reality (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

If anyone really cares I will continue to post pics as the progress moves along... here is some starting pics.

BTW, more pics are on my website in the chassis link I have started.

Here is a shot of week1

I have never made it to willow yet. Just laguna seca, sears point & thunder hill.

I think the fastest I ever did at thunder hill was 125 / 130 ish.
I think. I don't remember. I never much paid attention to mph just lap times. I remember my times was
around 2:13. I so want to break under 2:10. Money has
been tight for while now though, so that will have to wait.

my car at the time had about 260-275rwp. and I was
running hoosers, ap brakes and 13+ inch rotors.

Now the car is stock and is very slow.

Wow, you can get up to 150mph on track on the west coast. Is that a fast track? Or a very, very fast car? I thought
that fastest (no stock car) track was like in virgnia. I don't know if it is the fastest I just seem to remember people saying really high mph and how it killed the brakes.
