Out of topic Gerard but an interesting comparison. It actually is the result of the 90s overload of technology and development that transformed cycling, when carbon frames became a trend, that Lotus and many companies such as ZIPP well known for their wheels but also a common contractor to indy and CART teams for their knowledge of composite materials threw a heavy load of aerodynamic development into the "beam" bikes and so on. The UCI reacted by setting standards, rider included and helmet too. It was the Brits and Italian again !!!
For those interested - https://historicmotorsportcentral.co...otus-type-108/ If you can master your position, maximise your aerodynamic efficiency and cause the lowest drag possible, that's more WATTS on the distance and the equivalent of power in a car. I do have a couple of fabrics with integrated vortex to help all that |

Ha la vache, c'est top ce truc! Same inspiration for "le kil" in other words KL or Speed Ski. Slightly related to the thread they are discussions about the "dash board" used during Le Tour de France for instance. I had the opportunity to follow several stages of this famous race and I can tell you how much impressive the riders are. Respect for all those guys because they still have to push hard.

Reading the text in French can lead you to think its allowed. La fonte est un matériau ferreux tout comme l'acier

I remember a case several years ago involving an Alfa 105. Was at Spa, had an interesting dice with one whilst driving my then MGB(Fully compliant as checked by Jeremy Hall) It took a while but after dicing with the car in question, I managed to get past and then left him behind. Alfa finished the race so was still healthy. A few weeks later I was using a friend's TR 4,considerably more power than the B, at Dijon. The Alfa was there as well! This time though there was no catching it!! Was told by someone who knew, that the owner had spent 70,000 quid on a totally redisigned head. Radical improvement around. Racing for FUN?? 🤣🤣 |

Racing for FUN? No, cheating for what they think to be glory. I just hope the 105 was at least a GTA…

Well Terence, you’d probably be more competitive with a TR now- believe that engine has a ‘new’ cylinder head nowadays ......

So thus it can be done provided of course that it complies with 3.6.7.1 and is within 5% of the original weight. Mind you the last time that was ever checked Noah was probably trying to work out what a cubit was........ As has been mentioned before, you only have to look at some of the flywheels and clutches being used today - both of which would be on the relevant homologation form - to figure out that it is unlikely that the crank is actually made to those parameter.

Indeed it has . . . . I saw one bought for a TR3 . . . . TBH it wasn't as good as it could have been. nice casting, finished like a 70's hot rod head!

4 bolt 2 dowel is SSSOOOO Last century Simon. One can only assume excessive consumption caused double vision, or maybe treble.
Ford flywheels homologated @ 6.5 (varies slightly for cars delta/Morgan/Ginetta/Turner etc) TC @ 7kg, interestingly the early LC is homologated with a 7.25" clutch the same as the GT . . . . which wasn't reliable, whilst we all know the 8" clutch was standard on all TC's and the flywheel heavier as a consequence. . . LC photo's have a gearbox stuck on the back of the engine so you cant see. Quote:

Gerard is referring to a certain clever tuner managing to defeat PCGB class power to weight rules on 944 Turbos by having different maps activated by a rotary switch on the front wheels. Allegedly. They were compliant on the RR. |

a different set of tyres will make a difference on a rolling road. far too many variables.
Having said that, if you're diligent with the way yo u use it, I still think its a far better tool than a dyno in a laboratory where you can effectively manipulate conditions to give the numbers that sell the engine . . . . . which will be different again once its in the car! |
