Dry Lakes Racers Australia

Cool. What size is the NZ one? If you don't mind my tuppence worth, I must say that there is some emotional/sentimental level that in me says don't go the fibreglass route. Belly tanks have a particular 'found object' used in a new way attraction to them, and have limitations and opportunities assoc...

There is one on ebay in the US currently. Not sure if you're willing to ship one iin...

Good luck

I think it will be a good Belly Tank season next year... Plenty of room for some more homebuilts.

Dirtopolis,

Any luck on that magazine?

Dear Dirtington, That H pattern gizmo sounds interesting. We are in the process now of installing our gear stick (ex Gemini) H pattern and it is tight... It is succefully operating our Holden 4 speed through our scatter shield mock up which we are turning into the actual unit today. Can you scan the...

Thanks Sum, sounds like good advice. I really like the trap door option for neatness, simplicity and aero. Can you tell me whose car that is? I don't seem to have it on my file, it looks pretty neat. John Lynch's belly tank here has a chute positioned on the back of its body in a binnacle similar to...

OK, so it's time to start thinking about the parachute for the Belly Tank. Not expecting to go over 174mph next year but good to plan it in now hey? My avatar on the left shows the rear end of our tank. We are having our exhaust pipe come out at exactly the rear tip of our tank (poot) and so wish to...

Dear Mopar Man (Mope), We now have three engines for our project at virtually zero outlay, parts coming out of our orifaces and plenty of local knowledge on how to trick them. If one does blow up, we merely stroll over to the cupboard, pull a fresh one out and slot her in. We didn't want to have a s...

I had the same bloody problem with a fridge this week. I was trying to reverse the door of a F&P fridge that had all the right holes etc to do this except for one piece in the middle. It would have only required a little more play with the design of the hinge to allow it to be fully reversable, ...

Bless you Dirtington.

We operate by what I call the "Dick Smith School of Business" whereby we surround ourselves by clever people and ask a lot of questions.

If you could find his details please pass them on, I am sure there shall be use of his wisdom.

Hey easy on the chap Goggs, he must have worked very hard to pay for someone else to build his car. Seriously Gordon, the club tries to cater for production cars in the most appropriate way it can as outlined above. Personally, I don't see the club being about the purchasing of off the shelf items a...

....er just noticed the title of the forum...

"Chassis, Suspension and Saftey"

I thought maybe he was some sort of expert...

What or who is "Saftey"?

Crossing the t's, dotting the i's, the j's and the exclamation marks for you since 2004.

Hey! Ay! ay ay ay!

Just calm down everybody!

Someone will lose an eye!

We all know the good doctor has a mouth on him, but take pity on the poor bastard, or as Ben says, he'll start sooking.

...running for the hills.

I think you are being a little rough on the guy Magoggles. There is similar craftmanship, pride and goal driven engineering purpose in this project as to any of ours on the salt, a little more than the toilet dolly jibe. My dad spent the last years of his life building a timber clock. He built the t...

Where are we supposed to be looking?
