This 4 day weekend has been great for race car progress.
Fritz lives! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) My friend Tom Amon rebuilt the motor after I damaged 2 cylinders from pre-detonation due to a broken distributor belt. Tom cleaned up the damage and we did a little upgrading "while we were in there" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Let's just say more HP and more reliability. Full top end rebuild and ARP fasteners throughout. We re-installed the motor in 2.5 hours this morning and after priming the oil system the motor lit off in 3 revolutions. Fritz idles fine and after terrorizing the neighborhood, I must say that the 3.6 993 motor in a lightweight car is just amazing! (SirAndy you luck boy... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ) Damn...makes me want to figure out how to keep Fritz and Lucille.... Here's a pic of Fritz as of a couple of minutes ago. No runs, drips or errors. Absolutely brutal acceleration. 300HP in 2400lbs. Did I say I love 3.6's? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Bill P. Attached image(s) |

Nice progress on both cars Bill.
Lucille is looking better every time I see her. I can hardly wait for Doris and Lucille to do some bonding on the track. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) the GT3 nose will look great all painted and ready for battle with the 3rd radiator for extra insurance on those cool days at BW and TH in July and August. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Looking forward to next season of AX and TT. I am pretty solid on my motor build specs now... Just need to finish my last few "honeydos" and I can get that motor out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Thanks Dan, I'm sure you and Ken have the motor pull covered, but if you need help, let me know and I can help. I owe you for Lucille. Can't wait to have you coaching Doris again. She's going to love Lucille. I just got done bleeding the coolant lines. No leaks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Bill P. |
