Ian,
I love the look of your other project !!!

Cheers
Dave

Thanks David, yes it was run by Graham Slapp in Qld as "Voodoo Chilli" and before that was Rosco McGlashan's Ausi Invader 4.

I am hoping to run it at the Motorplex here in Perth some time soon....OR.....put a power turbine and a diff in it and run it wheel driven out on the salt.

Only joking it would be about as aerodynamic a house brick and have about 4000hp..... not a good combination.

Cheers
Ian...

Ian, what engine is in it?

Cheers
David

It's a J34 From F2H Banshee (hence the name)

They were originally built from 1947 to 1953 so they are getting on for 70 years old now, a bit old and heavy but still does the job.

Cheers

Ian, I found a pair of jet dragsters for sale on my105 the other day. Both have J34s and come with "lots of spares" for $50k. I can't find the ad now so maybe someone beat me to them. Oh well, that just saved me $50k !

Cheers
David

I think I've already posted this link before, but it was a long time ago.

I found the my105 ad, Graham Slapp was the guy selling the jets!

Hi David, must have been a really old add probably 2013??

Yes Graham Slapp did own 2 cars originally Ausi Invader 1 & 4. That he named Boomer and Voodo Chilli

I have 4 and Ausi Invader 1 was sold to Jim "jet" Nielson who is running that car in Panama in central America https://twitter.com/jimjetracer .

Jim bought the car only and I got the other car the container and all the spares.



Graham also ran the cars a few times in New Zealand and Indonesia. http://www.permaisuri.com/autoshow/auto ... dness.html

The last time Graham ran the car was at the 2014 Gold Coast 600

Yep could do, but I have already got a fair way on the streamliner..

Might be fun to put one of the J34's in the back of something..... certainly stop people tail gating...

How's progress?

Been a while since I posted, but finally getting into the chassis build for the streamliner.

Looks like my Photo bucket account has died so have put a short video on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek6e6VHGHq8

Cheers Ian...

This might sound like a stupid question, but where are you planning to run this car?

Planning on running at Lake Gairdner as a Class II (under 1000kg) Gas Turbine streamliner.
