This car was professionally built by
Dave Headley of FAB-TEK including a complete “frame-off” rotisserie restoration. The tub was completely stripped of all coatings & sealers. Floors, rockers and sills were replaced with OE Panels. The low front hoop roll cage is fully integrated into the tub for optimum stiffness. The fenders, deck and hood are fiberglass so carbon fiber could achieve additional weight reduction if you have the bucks ($). The doors and hinges are lightened to the extent allowed. The design emphasis was to achieve minimum polar moment (turning response) and a very low CG (weight transfer). The live axle rear suspension is a “Satchel” link design with coil over QA-1 tunable shocks plus an adjustable sway bar. The banjo axle housing has been aligned for camber & toe. Front suspension is a fully fabricated SLA type with tunable QA-1 coil over shocks and a tubular sway bar. Geometry is optimized for roll center height and camber gain. The suspension mounting structure is optimized for stiffness and light weight. Volk 15”x 7” zero offset wheels are one piece forged aluminum and weigh 12.5#. A fourth set of one piece Minilite Magnesium Wheels are available. Brakes are MGB front caliper & rotors with hawk pads and Wilwood rear calipers on Saab rotors. A Tilton triple cylinder adjustable pedal system operates the brakes and clutch. The Cockpit has all necessary gauges, including wide band A/F ratio. The operating switches are convenient to the driver. The seat is a Kirky aluminum and the belts were new, Jan ’08. The engines are estimated to produce 190hp, with 13.5:1 CR, FAB-TEK heads, and FAB-TEK spec cams. Block oiling is optimized for good bearing life. Cranks are cryo’d and nitrided with full aero cw’s. Carrillo rods, JE Pistons. FAB-TEK 1.6:1 rockers open 5/16 stem stainless valves. Oiling is dry sump. 1 ¾” fully prepped SU HIF6 carbs on a modified MGB manifold provide the air and fuel. Headers are 3 to 1 “stepped” with a merge collector flowing into a Flowmaster muffler (makes 95 db). Clutch is Powertrain Technology 5.5 twin disc with a Tilton anular T.O. bearing and a very light flywheel. Transmission is a 4-speed dog ring Alfa Romeo box built by Steve Schwitters using Hewland Gears. Can be converted to 5-speed for E prod. Fuel cell is ATL 10 gal with dual Facet electric pumps and a Holly pressure regulator. Race History Pricing I will sell the car with choice of one engine, 2 rear ends, selected spares and 1 set of wheels for $25k. This gets a winning car and you can develop spares as you go. I will sell the car as a roller without engine, transmission, drive shaft for $15k. If the car has not sold by spring of
2009, I will dismantle it, rebuild it as a vintage car and sell all the
SCCA specific parts. |
