"danmas" has challenged the Rotary Spifire to a duel! As of yet, I can't accept any challenges. While we did get the dash built, gauges largely installed and listened to it crank over when turning th
Nay, nay, nay! "danmas" only asked if "Nigel" was up to a duel. Not I! In a contest involving pure torque, I'd put my 302/TR6 up against it, but not on a road course. I hope to improve the handling,
Hmm - this is starting to sound more like the challenge that I issued to Barney Gaylord (MG with an Attitude - MGA) when he said that Spit's weren't reliable in competition! Now, this MGA has been fr
Hey kids.. Like I've said before, I've seen and fondled Tims Rotary Spit... Y'all have no idea of the level of development and workmanship in this thing until you see it for yourselves.... I'll cover
I haven't seen the Ro-Spit, but I have to vote for it. I have seen many times what these rotaries can do and am a firm believer. I have seen Mustang 5.0s go down on a regular basis to well tuned mild
Folks, Let me clarify this one more time - I did NOT challenge Tim to a duel! I am setting my car up for street use; Tim is setting his up for all out competition on a road course. I absolutely share
Not true. It's a street car. Regardless, we all know you didn't challenge him, but you cant blame us for trying to goad you into a match race. I mean, c'mon, the Ro-spit vs your 302 monster... Two be
Hmmm... Maybe The Beast should get into this challenge -- does anyone out there know Dave West? http://www.westpro.com/Beast.html I'll put Tristan up against your car any day, Tim! (Hey, if you don't
No, no, no! It's bad enough that Tim's Ro-Spit would humiliate me on the road, course, but now you want Dave to beat up on me at the dragstrip as well! Hmmmm, I think I'll just spectate. Tom Strange!
Let me re-phrase that; mine is a street car for use on the street. His is a competition car which can be driven on the street. His car may be legal and docile enough to drive on the street, but the s
Don't drag me into this one ........... I'm still in autocad mode, for some time yet. Will get back shortly (I hope) with answers to the questions I saw...... But it might be a good race..... conside
Now, John, you wouldn't be goading me into putting a gas turbine into my Vitesse, now would you?!?! ;-) Anyone have a gas turbine available??? Heck, how 'bout an engine out of an F-16 with afterburn
Nah, Those jet powered cars are great on the straights, but lousy out of the turns with no torque direct to the ground. I have my fun in the turns (but then, I am after speed....) Tom
A slightly insaine freind of mine is currently building two such units, for use in his model aircraft! They weigh about 1lb and produce 32lb or thrust each, now that's a good ratio! He recons if the
I'll take the challenge @ r.a. one caveat: I ride, not drive. what = kinda laps are you thinkin' you'll cut? winner takes the loser's ride? = ;-) my spit would like another brit (looking) car to sha
Not to rock the boat, but I was out roaming about on the net and what should I happen upon, but another rospit in progress. Check it out at: http://www.eou.edu/fao/triumph.htm Zach
