Dave Adams old cortina race car is up forsale and i have just put a bid on it..
it runs a fogger nitrous system due to the poor flow of the redline inlets.
he did run a plate system at one stage but this caused many engine and tunning problems again due to the redline inlet.
it has run a 11.6 N/A with the 4.11 diff fitted but i think a different torque converter would have been used.. it also requires avgas or 110 ron race fuel which is getting very expensive and would now require a full roll cage if it ran another 10 second pass..
if i won the car i would make a few changes like fitting an aussiespeed inlet along with a quick fuel carb and maybe a slight de-comp to run pump fuel..
i still have a few of his old cams and parts here and he was doing some great mods to the x-flow motor like strokers and roller cams..
cheers

I saw this the other day very nice and hope you win.

I saw that car run a heap of times,very tough car allways took off with the left hand wheel dangling in the air.Im pretty sure ive got some old vids of the car somewhere good luck with the bidding.

Good luck Glen. Did ya get my SMS or did ya see before hand.

The last write up I saw about Dave Adams's engine(in performance build ups maybe?) it had motec injection with the nos foggers.Is this the same engine with a carb or is it completely a different engine?

i didnt win with a $8500 bid but this is his sons car from what i have been told.
i think the red cortina of Daves ran a stroker crank, EFI and a roller cam but im only guessing as some of the parts i have of his are an offset EF crank, roller lifters, roller cam etc..
im in Adelaide in May so i might catch up with his son if i get the chance.. cheers

daves car the red one lives in loxton sa. It has a 9 inch in it to, the guy that now owns it his name is mark as far as i know daves car also had a cage been a long time since i have seen or even herd anything about it

is this car daves son chris? When dave died cause the motorshop was so far in debt they took everything, but they did not get daves car it had been sold. I was not aware that chris (daves son) even had a car i may be worng cause i do not know chris.

hi PRO, howz things on the other side of the fence?. lol.. good to hear from you.. i have sent a message to Daves son and i hope to meet him in May and work on a price for his yellow cortina but i have had no reply..
i have his number here somewhere so i might just try the old phone..
let cyco_250 know he might get an 11 second pass if he uses a standard inlet manifold, as anything would be better than what he's using now...lol... cheers

Why would pro have to let me know, I can read for myself, thanks for the advice, I'll be sure not to use it.........cheers
