Andy that was the plan but with the changing in dates, time, duration etc i decided to leave it for now. Concentrate on the championships im in this year instead.

I have blanked off the oil cooler connections and have spent the money on other areas.

24 hours! What on a Cerb engine - Brave

Or stupid.............

Brave sounds better though!

I'd still put a cooler on the diff for 40 min races. Your call though.

[itsallyellow]

I probably will, however im trying to keep the weight down as its allready too heavy.

I have temp sensors in both the diff and gearbox so will monitor them when testing see how we go.

I was hopping i could get away with some substantial ducting.

We did this last year - still not done a long race in it yet - but doing that this year. 30 and 40 min jobs.

That does it. I just have to get out!! Harry just loves stretching his legs down the Hanger straight (note: fit parachute to slow it down for Stowe).

Whats the spec on this thing? Have the AMOC let it in? (4 doors / GT?).

Thought I'd done this to death... Astra 2 dr (Belmont), 6.7L alloy Chevy V8, 700bhp, Muncie M22 4-speed, Strange Industries (Ford) 9" rear axle. And yes, they've let me in - they feel it fits in with the sprit of the series! (ie: it's mad!)

There's a pic in my profile.

Ah Ok thought it was something like that. Was concerned (for you) that it was a 4 door and so might not really be seen as a GT or coupe style thing. 2 Door Belmont, Hmm, I thought the booted things were all 4 doors.

Great - I'll have to come along now.

Dear All

We need to get as many drivers out on the grid for Super GT next year so spread the word.

Kind regards

hi this may help ther first car was a 6 cylinder fixed head i was one of the people who put it together before rob beeres time it was sponsored by kerns richards servies then rob joined kerns and they bought the v12 drop head i remember the first jec test with that car it was'ent quite finished no paint we got lot of funny looks and the normal jec reaction. But they coudent ignor us for long as it went from strenth to strenth. it was a great time late nights early mornings no money thats what motor sport is about .slippy my my nick name as on the roof of the car. ps i have over300 pictures of both cars if any one wants them

MANY THANKS for starting this thread, I started one about Malc and Rob's beast on another forum but got very little response. I must also thank the other members for supplying some great reading and photos ( especially Jeff ) and it's great to see Malcolm on here too.
Malc knows me ( Gary ) from the 1:43rd model I made for the JEC who sponsored the car in 1999 and a 1998 version I made for myself. I would like to make the 1988, 90, 92 and 2001 cars but the hand-built model car trade is really hard going with the influx of the excellent diecasts being made now in china.
If Malc reads this I wondered if he had got any further with the history of your E-types we talked about which I will try to get published in Jaguar magazine.

P.S. ... HOW DO YOU POST PHOTOS ?, CAN'T FIND THIS ANYWHERE ARE AM I GETTING OLD !!!.

Thanks Gary

You need to host the photo somewhere and then use the [img] tags around the link. The second tag has to look like this [/img]
So it would be [img]url address[/img]

Here's one I did earlier, if you click the quote button you can see the code.

Hi Jeff / Jagracer

THANKS for replying so soon, hope this photo pops up out of cyber space, Malc with a bonnet full of cups.



Thanks Gary

[Lowdrag Lover]

Hi Everyone

Got the hang of posting photos !! thanks to Jeff and Jagracer, here are the 1:43rd Rob Beere E-types I produced, Malcolm signed the bases of the 99 model and the ones left over were used on my model.
The British Racing Green 1999 car was for the Jaguar Enthusiasts club limited to 99 builts, and the 1998 Metallic Blue car I made was limited to 25.



Thanks Gary

If you contact me by email, I will update you on the History you mentioned.

Regards.

Malcolm.
