Nah its meant to grip not slip, S.A has some fairly good drifto boys I must admit for such a small population.

We are probably doing a round next year of the NSW state championship at Wakefeild Park, will keep you posted about that. We could have a UCP meet and greet.

Theyve got a good top end with the 5V per cylinder.

A few updated pics of the KE20,


The Body
It has been completley gutted and all the old signage has been removed. The body is in very good nick, no rust, the paint is good so its staying the same colour, the drivers door needs some work but the rest is good. Playing round with stripping on the bonnet at the moment.

The engine
The engine is now going Atmo instead of FI, we have had done a compression/leakdown test and it seems healthy. Being atmo the gearbox/diff diesnt need to be upgraded which equals less dollars spent

its going to rev like a monster once its built...

what do you think of the new coopers livery compared to the old

Have got the clutch and flywheel for the race car, it will be running a chrome moly flywheel 3.6kg standard is 8kg and a puck style sprung centre clutch and h/duty pressure plate, have finished the dash and started rubbing back the paint and finished the rear bulkhead. Its going to ALLAN Engineering at Mallala so the engine can get fitted with its Autronic engine management and new engine mounts and panhard rear fitted. Still need to source the trumpets for the quads, tailshaft etc.

Brothers is getting painted next week, he has done his brake conversion VR Commode Discs and RX3 calipers and has ordered his camber tops


Heres a few pics of the progress
