Hi guys I´m back in this great forum (Lost my password and took some time to get it working again )
I usually keep my updates on my fb page www.facebook.com/WhlsUp
But I would like to share some new material with you also.
1 year ago I was thinking that I took a bit too large bite but no ways back, no regret and I started building my first tubular chassis It became 8.5s chassis because that 8.5 seemed so far. Also I was far from my class index 8.9s
Bought some parts for getting it a bit faster and out form that nasty 9 sec:
* Dogbox internals with way longer first gear (Now I can see correct 60ft without gearchange in it like I used to)
* Three disc clutch (used one race on nascar)
* H profile rods for engine (Now I´m able to come out of the gay boost)
* Some work todo with aero and new look
* Some better and lighter rear wheels (-12kg from pair)
* 1" higher 2" wider new Hoosiers on rear end
* I need a suit because I passed 240km/h limit
* Some extra sensors for better start
* Some modifications with boost solenoid for more agressive start - I´ll try to add 1 spring and get it to closed loop finally
* I´ll try to make it look better so I sandblasted it and it has a paint on the frame now and I´m dealing with alloy stuff installation and fabrication.
After that all it took me a whole season to catch my last years best time what was 9.0 because I made too many changes and this clutch started breaking all different things and everything was changed. For the end of the season I was almost getting to holding it in one piece and as all the races were over I decided to organize my own test-day in september and we succeeded. The weather was really good and I was able to catch 8,8sec and repeat it 3 times totally, with quite bad 60ft but we were impressed by the trap speed. Our massive work finally payed off, it had 18km/h more trap speed than last years best.
Now I´m really thinking that I can get that 0.8 off the time and started preparations for next season to make it to 7sec :D it sounds quite insane but there are some tights where the real potential is locked and we try to make it faster for season 2021 I know that 7 can´t come easy but we just hope and try.
We already added about a hundred horses on dyno, ordered some nitrous and bigger turbo also. My plan is to stretch the chassis and make it maybe even lighter.
