What flywheel are you using and what's the gear ratios?


The car is one of the first Finnish purpose built drag cars, and I have restaured it externally and technically it pretty close to what it was in 1980-1981. The drivetrain parts have been collected from here and there, it's got leaf springs with long ladder bars and some Dodge ram van Konis in the rear,Just the way it was built. The flywheel is an aluminum one, and the clutch is called "axle killer", a twin 10" disc mcleod..., no adjustment there either. Maybe in the future I will upgrade it to this century as far as the clutch goes.



Impressive. I love the car. But like I said...watching the video you are hitting the tire pretty hard.

If you are going for an era correct car, you nailed it and I wouldn't change a thing in that case. I'd just drive it and have fun.


Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
