you guys love your gilmer drive pulleys, huh? i see a lot of people complaining about their noise.

Whats the with "seat belts" on the silver cars engine? They arent metal, so they arent grounding straps.

Hes got a scatter blanket around the bellhousing. A must have for 1/4 mile in NZ. There have been some spectacular exploding flywheel incidents here!

Purple sev runs a 13B bridgeport with a jetted nikki carb. Blue sev runs a 13B large extend port with a 48 ida. Silver sev runs a 12a bridgeport with a 48 ida.

We run gilmours purely for noise aye! All three sevs also have slightly illegal exhausts, dosen't matter if your mechanic's a good bastard though haha!

Yeh the fans are on the front of the radiators. Didn't have one on mine (blue 79') for bout 2 years cos the radiators an HK monaro 4 core beast so I could sit in traffic for20 min or so and it would still hover round the 180 mark. Goty a single 14inch davies craig now.
Purple sev has somekind of retro fitted RC helicopter blades onit. Pretty viscious.
