NZeder Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Excellent work - so what is the replacement for the zed given you have stated this engine will now move into a shell more suited to doing 7's (don't blame you one bit given the tracks here in NZ and the resent crashes 1/2 or last 1/2 of the track) It would be one hell of ride if it goes wrong with just a 6 point cage in there. So I assume the current cage does not tie to the front struts or even have a bar under the dash - I have seen this on many a zed here in NZ and having owned a race car with a cage setup like this I would want one that has a bar under the dash and that ties the into the front struts for a circuit car but a drag car doing 7's well tube the whole whole thing....

RIPSNZ Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Its just a basic street 6 point cage with no dash bars or bars through to the towers, it has a stock floor, stock fire wall, stock engine bay etc, its fine at mid to low 8s but it has started to get a bit nasty into the 7s as it is and I don't want to strip it and make it into a full race car.

garvice Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 That is incredible, well done. As a true australian, somewhere in the future I am sure we will be taking credit for this. Something along the lines of pub talk like, "Can you remember that aussie who did 7s in a street legal Z car?" Once again, congrats mate, and good luck with the next project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
