Here is some photos of the completed gearbox conversion. I used the Starion gearstick boot. http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/zz331/avandull/Gearbox%20conversion/100_5954.jpg http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/zz331/avandull/Gearbox%20conversion/100_5955.jpg http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/zz331...

I like the camping photo.

The Racechrono produces a log file. The RacechronoAVI program takes the log file and produces an avi of the speedo and position on the track. Then you need a video editing program to overlay the speedo avi with the video file from your camera. So the whole process takes some time and there are a few...

I bought a new RaceChrono GPS lap timer. Check out the footage.

Here is a few slower laps, this RX7 got past me off the start, but was slower around corners.

and the speedo drive reads 10Km/hr fast at 100 Km/hr, So 10% also.

I took the Starion to a club day at Baskerville yesterday.
I set a new personal best of 1:03.85, Seems to shift better at high RPM.
First gear is a bit shorter, Fifth gear is a bit taller, and the speedo drive reads 10Km/hr fast.

Nice!

EVOMINUS, The problem with not reaching the shifter is, my arm isn't long enough when I am strapped in to my seat with the harness. The Starion shifter was quite long and had a 45 degree bend right at the base to angle the stick to the driver. The RX7 shifter is straight, not angled to the driver. R...

The Starion gearbox with the tuff pan has only done one hill climb. Came from redzone who said it came from a car that had done 180000km. I put all new bearings and seals in it. And put the tuff pan on. I am after$300 for it with the tuff pan. I just took the Starion for it's first drive with the rx...

I have been at it again Out with the old http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/zz331/avandull/Gearbox%20conversion/initgoes001.jpg In with the new http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/zz331/avandull/Gearbox%20conversion/initgoes002.jpg Tail shaft was made. 710mm from the face of the diff to the seal on t...

That's a cheap. Twin cam conversion alone cost more then 5 grand

Well I didn't get to the pub, but I got a photo of Redzone in front of a Starion that was on display http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/zz331/avandull/Longford%20revival/nicecars025.jpg There were cars brought in from Europe. Longford used to be a big international track, so cars came from all over ...

See you there.

nice work!

Here is some more pictures. I took the tail shaft to Hardy spicer today to be modified and balanced. I will post pictures when I get it back. So the next step was the shifter re-locating. I drilled and cut the selector shaft. Make sure you are very accurate in the drilling. http://i841.photobucket.c...
