arizonajones Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 That looks like tons of fun. I wish this style of racing was more common in the states. Do you always race on a dirt track? Quote Link to comment

It is fun.... The track is alvays part tarmack and part gravel. The start is always tarmack. The big tracks ar more tarmack then the smal ones.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM-tLtr3Qr4 1 Quote Link to comment

gothicteo Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hey Gothicteo is that just a single cam 8 valve 2.3 or 16 valve motor ? and a 5speed of course , I had a 190e 1985 5spd sold it cheap . It is a 8v engine because the 16v engins are to expensiv.... We are on a tight budget.... We have to sell the car after the race for 850usd if soeone wants it.... Its realy hard to build a competetiv car under 1000usd.... the black one is 15000usd in just buildingcost.... so i use ever litel tip and part i can use to ceep the cost down 4 or 5 speed gearbox is irelevant becaus we only use gear 1-3..... The track is designed to keep speed under 80kph (50mph?) Quote Link to comment
gothicteo Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 The work is going forward! Intake manifold is just ready for paint.... Just spliting the carbs left! The dash! using the original.... sort of Front end need some paint! Quote Link to comment
hosestop@msn.com Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I guess you can't beat up those motorcycle carbs in the wash boards of the race track ! , I have seen off road cars with Ford 2.3 motors here with Mikuni carbs for the same reason , I still have a 2.3 MB motor here and an automatic trans on it ,I need to sell it.
