Hey guys,
So, finally signed up for my first big track DE with the PCA out at Texas World Speedway this weekend - anyone from here going to be there? Finally got my car corner balanced after getting all of the rubber out of the suspension (elephant poly bronze up front, mueller bearings in the rear, koni sports all around, 21mm welt up front, five lug conversion with M calipers, and re-drilled hubs in the rear, running 15x6 cookies and falken azenis) The car came out at 2154 lbs with a little over a half tank of gas and a 170lb driver. Not bad for an all steel '74 body that still has the crash bars in the doors. And we got her to balance at 50.2% - Thought you guys would be interested in those numbers. I am pretty excited about this event, and curious to see how I match up with these newer porsches. I think my car is a good 10 yrs older than the oldest car out there, but I do have some Mr. Raby magic to help level the field (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Anyway, I will post the results after I get back...and any comments, suggestions are welcome. Tony |

Bill,
I have a Raby 2056 that he built for me back in 02. It put out 130hp and 131tq on his dyno, so its a fun little motor, and has never let me down. I am running the chepo oil cooler setup, which consists of an 8x11in Thru Cooler and aeroquip socketless blue hose, and a mocal sandwich adapter with built in thermostat. I am running the cooler in the front trunk, and so far the hottest I have seen the oil after installing it was ~220 on a 100* day while flogging it on a autox course, most days it barely gets to 180*. So I am curious to see if I have enough cooling for a 20min session, I guess I will find out this weekend. I have heard the falkens do well on the track but tend to get a little slick after 20min, I will report back how they do for me. Tony |
