T5 powered autograss special.

It was awesome in a straight line, we knew almost immediately that we had a problem with the suspension mount so we were nursing it a bit in the corners, but it was still a good shakedown.

Be pushing it more this Sunday !!!

Absolutely flying on Sunday at St Neots with no problems at all.

We will be doing some demonstration races at Brandon Stadium Coventry on Saturday night if anybody is nearby.

Only just seen the pictures on this thread! that is awesome, must be so much fun!

**Dave86** · Wednesday 15th June 2011, 13:51

Id love something like this but wouldn't even know where round start if i was to build one lol

**Paul Hassell** · Friday 17th June 2011, 09:47

Believe me there is a hell of a lot of work involved in building them from scratch like we do!!

still not sure whats planned for tomorrow, but if i do go i'll be taking my video camera. Be interesting to see how it does on the small Brandon circuit

**Paul Hassell** · Friday 17th June 2011, 12:39

Well it will be good to see you if you do go, and any video footage will be good. we will have our on board camera on as well so perhaps we could mix both into a video we could bung on our you tube.

**Wobbly Dave** · Friday 17th June 2011, 12:58

Sadly I will be busy getting ready for my trip to Malaysia. It would be really good if you could bring the grassy T5 to Avon Park - we could see what kind of 1/4 you can get out of it. Have you changed the gear ratio?

**Paul Hassell** · Friday 17th June 2011, 13:09

Sadly I cant make the Avon Park meet because we have a big 2 day meeting at my home club at St Neots.

We are planning a day at Santa Pod at some point this summer so will post a date on here when we know it and if anybody fancies coming along we could make a day of it !

The gearbox has standard ratio's at the moment as I want to get the chassis and handling sorted before we start developing the engine and transmission.

**Wobbly Dave** · Friday 17th June 2011, 13:26

I am not a huge fan of santa pod because the fire up lane is separated from the strip itself. Queuing is a chore, coz you can't see squat! However I will give it a go again just to see your machine perform. Should be a giggle.

Yes we had a fantastic night, took us a while to get the set up right as the shale had so much grip I couldn't get the back to step out properly but eventually we got it sorted by putting a smaller diameter tyre on the inside rear wheel.

I think we may have had to much back pressure in the exhaust though because it melted the baffles shut in the exhaust !!!

**MWT5** · Tuesday 21st June 2011, 18:19

Wow what exhaust can is that.
Good to see it up and running well paul,I'm probably looking at next season for mine too much work and not enough motivation .

What bore is that exhasut? Looks a little small but pictures can be deceiving. You can make your own 3" bore backbox item with decent baffelling for under £60 if you have a mig or tig welder.
