Just a quick note to say hi in this area.
I have just purchased an old Formula Ford for restoration/modification and thanks to colibriman I also have a Firestorm engine on its way, should make an interesting track day car
a few questions if anyone can help... Having seen a few mini/bike diffs used with chains does anyone know if these are available ready built? (but not quaife, my wife would kill me)
Inboard bike brakes, is anyone using them?
cheers
Mark

Wow!

I REALLY want one of those for track work!

Would have no issue selling my Indy for one of those!

Please keep us uppdated on the build.

Oh, and don't forget the cycle wings to do 'normal' track days.

Will do mate, yep cycle wings are going to be on the shopping list.

To keep you all up to date on the start of things.
I have know purchased a Supra LSD to convert to chain drive (Supra diffs have been known to run over 400BHP with no issues) I have my eye on an instrument cluster for the Firestorm on Ebay and I have a flat bottom sued race wheel coming to so that should give me everything I need to re-jig the chassis to my needs

An update, the Toyota Supra Diff, is being worked on
Here is the diff removed and ready for fabrication, now if I can just get the roller bearings off (any ideas guys??)
