Re: DW's (new?) Sierra 3dr YB race car

Just a quick update. As Graham will no doubt be cracking on with the engine build quite soon I have been getting the car as ready as possible. I have now got pretty much everything in the engine bay where I want it using the dummy engine.
I have my dry sump cam cover on, have repositioned the fuel reg and have a nice carbon airfilter back plate. As this is dished it will allow for longer trumpets while still using my old pipercross from the pinto.



I have also removed most of the vinyl from the car so that I can get the paintwork nice again. The car is now just white with the black stripes and no orange pinstriping. Looks a lot better imho, nice and simple. Paint is coming up nice too. Will get some more decals made up soon but only in black.



Should get some more bits done next week too

yeah right

within the confines of time/budget i'll do my best but its going to take one of millingtons finest to worry my S14

did you notice how even with snail still attached the silver one at brands couldnt worry me

Re: DW's (new?) Sierra 3dr YB race car

Must have something to do with the 14 revs he has to play with when it comes on to boost

Thanks, i'm gonna try to stick to just white and black to make it more bold.

I expect that i'll get a view of grahams boot for a couple of races, but then i'll be leaving bmws and snail powered cossies for dead you cant beat a 16v pinto

Re: DW's (new?) Sierra 3dr YB race car

Who said anything about "trailer queens"

[david_white]

Re: DW's (new?) Sierra 3dr YB race car

Sorry but it is a trailer queen, has no back seat and will be driven for a bit more than a 1/4 mile at a time, hopefully

However on a different topic I've been making my non-cheating 16v pinto a bit more comfy by fitting a cambelt cover..



Along with the airfilter being refitted I'm hoping the cover will make the engine a bit safer should it see a gravel trap. Its easy for the gravel to break a cambelt so although this cover isn't exactly a tight fit it might at least give us a chance of keeping the kitty litter out, just incase I push a bit too hard fending off Graham

Re: DW's (new?) Sierra 3dr YB race car
