Thanks for taking the time to go through what you could.
A BIG THANK YOU for the engine cover. That made me like I was high that day!
If you have a passenger side axle I'd like to get that so I can have my axle guy
see if he can copy it.

Johnny

You had a horseshoe in your bottom that day for sure!

So that's why you wanted a passenger axle.

Let me get them back to the house in November then we can look into having them copied.

I am sure I speak for the other GTP owners as well. Great Job Mike!!

Sent you a text regarding one windshield.

Thanks for taking the time to do this. If I was closer I would have tried to pursue this myself.

Thanks again!

Your welcome and it was fun to do .

Doug was the fork lift driver hoisting me up into the top containers

So lookie what I found! The MT 900's nose was weighted down with these rubber like balls.

Notice the passenger side had more then the drivers side. This was to offset the drivers weight I would suspect.

Interesting find for sure !

this was the crash test car. it had something to do with the crash testing (momentum measurements?) cant remember exactly. it was not something made to increase performance.

Did you have a few crash test cars? I was told the crash test Mosler was in Container 14.

Thanks for the info thou. I like the idea for weight in the nose of the GTP.

are you having under steering problems?

[Reaper1]

I think it's more like light steering at speed.

[168glhs1986]

Not under steering any longer. Car rotates around a tight autocross corner nicely.

The issue is high pressure under the car. Car gets light at high speeds. Need more nose downforce.

So likely a splitter and weight in the nose will help this.

Mike, did you say you found another complete Consulier?

[168glhs1986]

Not a complete car just a shell

[Millerman340]

Did you buy it? Shell Still in Florida?

[Keito]

I was wondering how Johnny would get a cover for his car, nice score for sure.

[168glhs1986]

I didn't buy it but helped a forum member purchase it. It will live in the mid Atlantic states

[168glhs1986]

She ran a 11.36 with a 1.9 60' @ 130.4 mph today.

I tried a driver mod with Brian for the last run. (He had been cutting 1.5x 's on low boost at 11.8 @ 118 ).

On Brian's attempt on high boost we broke the drivers axle at the weld on the sleeve. 10's will have to wait for 2015.

So cool!!! Congrats on the new PB Mike!

[GLHNSLHT2]

what's high boost and low boost?

[168glhs1986]

Low was 18 and all I know is high was 1/4 then of the boost knob. Felt like 28 + if I had to guess. She was pulling line a freight train.

I had to be running out of injector but it just felt soooo good and sounded good I kept in it.

Some quick bench racing thoughts:

If we could quick shift this car it would be deep in the 10's. As it is now we granny shift it just to make sure it goes into gear.

With big stuff and 40 psi what would this car run with a 1.4 60' and a fast engaging shifter?

We have some things to work on this winter.

Back to the real racing.....on the last run to my surprise the rpm gauge wasn't working. Have no idea where i was shifting but it sure sounded good.



Thanks Adam.

[Johnny]

Why doesn't your shift quick? Though it was just a linkage fix.

[168glhs1986]

A better question if can anyone shift a 555 fast?

[GLHNSLHT2]

I can.
