[QUOTE="Canning, post: 100212, member: 3134"] Greg has had the racer completely stripped down again in an effort to make it faster. In short, we are chasing more power, better braking and much more grip for higher cornering speed, and getting ready for the National Historic Titles where we hope to be very competitive. Big changes to the engine with the Horner Brothers from Irving Vincent helping with the crankshaft balance factor, and new much higher lift cams with the engine going twin spark with ignition timing coming back from 36 degrees to 30. We anticipate softer bottom end power, but more acceleration and therefore better opportunities for overtaking between 5 -6500rpm. The brakes have also come in for extra special attention with a Kevlar based high temperature lining and air scoops being made right now. This is because the racing Ceriani experiences fade in very hard high speed braking. We are really hoping this will be corrected as it’s been a weakness. Last is a substantial change in wheel / tyre combination with 18” rubber on WM3 racing rims in place of 19” on WM2. This doesn’t sound much until you see the massive increase in contact patch that should result in significantly improved cornering speed. To do this, Greg has needed to change the ride height and other mods to accommodate the increase in tyre width. Have included a pic of the old rear tyre next to the new one mounted in the rfm just to get a sense for the change. Greg really has been working hard to pull this together in time for the national titles in early November and I can’t thank him enough. As always, the quality of his work is exquisite.[ATTACH=full]24230[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]24231[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]24232[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]24233[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]24234[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]24235[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]24236[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]24237[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
