R500 CYA Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 I think Rob Grigsby needs this! He doesn't get sideways nearly enough on 155 bhp. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R500 CYA Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Hi Rob, Saw you at Goodwood last week, but too bloody cold to stay and chat! Thought the car needed more power as you were not making enough noise! Only thing is I have driven against Anthony at both Goodwood and Hethel in my SLR and on the straights it was just as quick (if not slightly quicker on Lavant straight) so I'm not sure if you should have it Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 I reckon he shouldn't be allowed it espeically if he was still planning to be in the club sprints next year (class 3) rob Edited by - robmar on 6 Dec 2002 16:23:16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R500 CYA Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 That's it then. Sorry Anthony you are duty bound not to sell this engine to Rob. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrigsby Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 Class 3 could be quite entertaining next year 😬 Pinky I was being vaguely sensible at Goodwood last weekend as I was right on the noise limit for that day... even with a Goodwood dongle thing in. that noise meter just after the chicane was a bit to close!! having said that out the back where there aren't any noise meters is another story :) Cheers Edited by - rgrigsby on 7 Dec 2002 19:14:56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 Rob - depends on your point of view (class 3 that is) I can never get close to you with you alledged 155 bhp motor ☹️ and to get back on topic, please somebody buy this other than rob grigsby rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry.h Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Yes, Class 3 will be very interesting. I am looking forward to it. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 well from my understanding it should be allowed in class 3 ☹️ if we are sticking tot he same regs for the l7 championship next year...

Vehicles powered by non car derived engines are not allowed in this class. Class 3: Lotus or Caterham Sevens powered by single cam engines. Also all Lotus Twin Cam engines and Rover K 1400c.c. engines. Other twin Cam engines up to 1600c.c. are also allowed in this class provided induction is via a standard production plenum chamber.

TonyR Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Apologies!! I had 1600cc as the limit stuck in my head, which is only applicable to twin cams. Should be very competive. Good Luck. TonyR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 competitive - it should be the most powerful car in class i reckon *eek* and the drive is not too bad either I may have to do some sabotage, now where is that lead piping...... rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted December 9, 2002 Author Share Posted December 9, 2002 Hi Rob, fully agree the cost of getting similar power out of a 1600 K-series, to compete in Class 3 would be more than the cost of the engine Now a set of TB's or rollers on Bob's new engine would see it close on 200 ( Dave E apparently had over 200 BHP from his all steel cross flow ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robmar Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I find it highly unlikely that it is possible to get 180 bhp and still be in the regs to get in class 3 with a K although there is some talk on the 7's list on bigger power with a plenum... looks like th eonly way forard is saboutage 😬 😬 rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrigsby Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Uh-oh.. that sounds like an upgrade path... dangerous thing to mention just after I've bought the engine!!! 😬 Rob G www.SpeedySeven.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
