Re: Dermot's hillclimb R1 coupe Is that a 'spool' type drive box or is it their LSD type drive box?

Re: Dermot's hillclimb R1 coupe It connects the drive sprocket on the r1 gearbox and uses no chains. And yes it comes in a variety of colours at extra cost. I could either get it in blue or get it silver with a selection of different ratios. Mines silver.

Re: Dermot's hillclimb R1 coupe Looks very interesting.
May I ask a couple of questions?
How strong is it?
Is it noisy?
Does it have a diff? I see they are developing an LSD.
Does it make the car rear engined with the box against the bulkhead, or can it be fitted to the rear?
Thanks

Re: Dermot's hillclimb R1 coupe I would say if it's able to cope with the R1 engine its going to be strong, a standard R1 engine is in excess of 180 bhp, I would say thats going to be some savage yoke to go,

Re: Dermot's hillclimb R1 coupe Got the sprocket needed to connect the drivebox to the engine. 14 tooth instead of 16.

Re: Dermot's hillclimb R1 coupe Any chance of an update Dermow  Haven't heard form you for a bit  I think Neil, (and I, for that matter) would like to know what your thinking is, on what 1/4 mile times your expecting We've seen some Z-cars run up the strip, only to be dissapointed  and the owners bemused at the results.

Re: Dermot's hillclimb R1 coupe Complete U turn folks. Not happy with the engine hanging out the back so far, so i am forced to sell the drivebox and buy the Promotive kit. Will be refitting a 1275 engine just to get some use out of her while saving up for the kit. V-expensive. http://www.pro-motive.co.uk/If anyone is selling a cheap 1275 engine let me know. Thanks.
