The completed upgraded GearX close ratio gearset ready for the rear housing to be fitted. |
This is the input shaft with Carbon Syncro rings and the GearX Ratios installed

The stripped 4th and 5th gears on the output shaft. Compare the size of the teeth on 3rd gear with the GearX close ratio set above. |
This is the installed removable brace. The gearbox can now be removed/installed without taking the motor out saving over 10 hours work.

This is a screen shot of our gear ratio spreedsheet. Top speeds are shown for the 99mm stroke motor with 8200rpm limited by the current Supercharger pully sizing. When a new engine mount is made giving clearance, we can fit a larger pully returning the rev limit to 8600rpm. |
Modifications to the K20Z sump to allow the S2000 oil pump to clear.

We enjoyed the good weather on the weekend, doing a "cafe" tour on the local mountain roads. About 3hours driving. Feels like you are at walking pace, after the thrills of track driving! |
Happened across this old photo, going back to the origins of the car when we first assembled the Ariel chassis. We have come along way.... |
Even the oldies love doing a "cafe" tour on the local mountain roads. |
After the drive Dorothy says in the chemist's....
"Don't worry about my hair, because I was in a racing car!"
She couldn't stop talking out the car, much to everyone's amusement. They better look out at the retirement village. She was very upset non of her friends could see her in the car.
