1st to provide proof of a running Bimmy Conversion!

Brisbane ,Australia

Some of you may already know, but still, This is my tow car & i have been having a little bit of trouble holding gearboxes up to it,,, 7 have gone bang in the last 9 months , so i bit the bullet & spent up a big wad of cash & fitted her up with a full "Albins" aftermarket race gear set & mainshaft assy, full slippery diff & BMW 2600lb race clutch

now it was test time & this is just my first run of the day, just getting a feel for things & easing into it,,, i really didn`t want to spit the box out on the first run *smiley*



Mind you,,, this thing weighs 1760kgs --->empty

& it has some issues with massive understeer turning quite quickly into massive oversterr,,, so my next trick is to try to do smething to make it handle,,, well ok, maybe it will never quite handle well, but i will try some things *smiley*

hope you all have a laugh,,, not bad for a tow car hey??? *smiley*

oh,,, 4litre quad cam 32v injected alloy V8

Wheely bin full of jelly *smiley* *smiley* *smiley*

Trailer was supposed to be attached towing Stews sports sedan mini, but that was that 6 speed gearbox thread the other day, so i took his entry & ran the Zombi instead *smiley* Doing a motorkhana (Autotest) this weekend in it too,,, now that will be pretty difficult i expect,,, i`ll see if we can sort some video footage of that shit too *smiley*

Wheely bin full of jelly *smiley* *smiley* *wink* & yeah i reckon you`re right tho John the wheely bin would handle better *smiley*
