trenger info , til GT2

[Kåre Andreas]

Fikk en tlf fra NBF racing seksjon av i dag der de var positive til bygginga av bane bilen min (3 dørs Sierra, med 5,7 liter) og syntes det hørtes spennende ut, og at den ville nok passe inn i GT2 klassen.

Men han syntes at motoren på 5,7 liter var noe stort for en så liten bil, og lurte på om det det hadde kommet noen lignede sierra r fra fabrikk.

Xr8 5 liter, Xr6 3liter og Xr4i med 2,8 ble nevt.

 

Han kunne tenke seg å komme å ta en titt slik at det ble bygd riktig ifht reglement slik at bilen kunne brukes når den var ferdig i nevnt klasse.

Men han lurte på om jeg kunne skaffe litt info på disse bilene da specs liste på bremser, understell, drivverk osv i forhold til oppsett på en standar 2 l IS, for og sammenligne.

Har funnet data på XR8 & XR6, men ikke noe på vanlig 2 liter is. Er på jakt etter tilnærmet lik info som under bare for 2 l is.

 

All info mottas med takk

Pictures

 

 

First of all, we'll have a look in the engine bay to find where the beef really is. And we find out that it is a tight fit.

 

And let's have a look on the outside if we see any hints this is a fast Sierra...

 

And of course this is loads of FUN!
