Hi Bob, fill your boots I think it might scare the hell out of me!! Always welcome to use it considering Jeff knows how to fix it!! Wink

When Rizla 2 was first built as a Formula car i had a LS1 chevy engine in it but after a few roll cage problems i sold it to a mate in Norway, he has taken it and put in his formula car and added a huge turbo Cool

in the rear

He has said i can test it on the 12th april when we go out to pick our team captains new proto car a rear steer spider looking car on 42's and to drop off a lexus engine or 2

his first start up - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcuUlPKmQgM&feature=youtu.be

whats the reasoning behind the rear turbo, wouldn't there be a loss of pressure or backpressure or something for such a distance for the air to travel? sounds amazing though Razz

Rizla 1 · Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 1:33 pm Post subject:

Simple reason there's no room at the front Laughing

and they rekon it will work fine at the back ? he's running the first race at Matrand in Norway at the end of April so we will see.

a lot of the big Derv rigs in america run a large turbo quite far down the exhaust system, especially when you dont require a stupid amount of boost, works just fine, possibly even a little better as temperatures are lower that far away from the manifold, meaning you can get away with a smaller IC, etc etc, so its swings and roundabouts with regards to pressure, etc.

Home now from Norway after picking up the new proto car for our Eurotrial team captain and nice it is too Cool

he has got a good amount of new sponsors and a shiny new set of paddle tyres - even was given a set of 37" irocs just to look good on the trailer when going to the events !! rekons around 650 hp with no nitrous - glad my old engine has gone to a good home

How can we be sure it was suitably tested if there's no pictures or video to prove it? Laughing

2nd picture, are they all trophies? Jeez, must be good!

Rizla 1 · Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 8:16 pm Post subject:

Yes one wall of trophy's for trials and Eurotrials - and he is very good at the rock crawl stuff - time will tell if he has the balls for Formula Cool

I think Bob took a few pics on his phone will try to get them up Smile

Bob having a go -

Thats better Smile

Is the new proto car based on a production vehicle chassis or is it custom bent box section chassis? It looks a bit like an SJ chassis, but constant width.

Think it's range rover but not sure ? and it's got a real sweet 3.9 rover lump that sounds real nice

Thats a nice peice of kit.

Do you have any details on eurotrial 2012 yet fancying another road trip

Rizla 1 · Posted: Thu Apr 19, 2012 8:06 am Post subject:

Hiya Danny - There's going to be 2 practice rounds over here first - think one at Avon Dassett and the other at Slindon - nr Chichester on the south coast , the Eurotrial website has got info on it but if you need more let me know Smile

Should be a good size team going this year - but we need a few more RTV type cars for the original and standard classes - if you fancy it come along to the practice days - will put dates up as soon as i know them

As much as I would like a go in the wrangler, I simply enjoyed watching to much. Ill have a think though. My buggy wont be done by then so thats out of the question. How do the classes work?

Rizla 1 · Posted: Thu Apr 19, 2012 2:42 pm Post subject:

With Your buggy the tyres would have to be 37" for pro-mod as there's a 3m height rule - but you could go proto with the big ones Laughing

but wrangler would fit in the standard class ? would have to see them to fit you in the right class - or just come watch again Cool

Rizla 1 · Posted: Wed May 02, 2012 8:13 am Post subject:

Bit of a update - My mate Pal got 3rd place with his debut Formula race and my old engine went real well Cool

Rizla 1 - as the weather has been a bit rubbish had chance to try to finish Tim's car and going to try to get it done for the Eurotrial event at the end of this month - not much more to do now but has been a lot of work just to add a passenger seat -

How did eurotrial go. I saw you had a gentle roll hope all was ok otherwise

Rizla 1 · Posted: Wed Aug 08, 2012 1:43 pm Post subject:

Hi Danny - back now was a great trial and good result for the GB team Bob took 5th in pro-mod with Rizla 2 and me well rolled 3 times the one you saw on u-tube was a gentle one and i did the the same the day before in the same gate Embarassed

what a prat - was a good score before them - the 3rd roll was a huge roll on a monster hill section but managed to drive out of it half way down much to the crowds delight - the guy just before me had a night in hospital rolling in the same place, snapped his portal landy chassis clean in half a total right off with bend cage as well. hope the red cross man sends me the pics of my roll !!

I came 12th at end with Richard N 13th and Birdy 14th in pro-mod

Just before i got failed a Scrutineering for the car being far to loud Cool

amazing what a baked bean with 5 holes in it - sorted and through

Well done team gb

I am so gutted that I couldnt come this year. I believe its in italy next year. Im going to start planning now for going to that one. Thinking of dropping it into the middle of a holiday. If the buggy is finished might even bring it along.

Are there any videos of your big roll?

Danny

It's Tuscany, North Italy next year would be good to see you out in your buggy Smile

Not seen any vids of my roll yet but still hope to get the pictures from the red cross man
