Morris to go drifting again!!!

Razor · 5 Apr 2006, 03:40 (Ref:1571069)

I just saw on his website that Paul Morris is re entring the Aussie National Drift Series. Sounds good, he has got talent to do good drifts and smoking tyres.

Quannie · 5 Apr 2006, 03:47 (Ref:1571071)

what is he driving? is it an SS?

Rob 18 · 5 Apr 2006, 08:23 (Ref:1571162)

Just hope on all his runs they let him start at the front, God knows what he could do if he trys to pass the car in front.....They will spend the next 1/2 hour cleaning up all the fibreglass!!!

Razor · 5 Apr 2006, 08:40 (Ref:1571181)

He didn't go to badly at the Oran Park round of the Series. As for his ca, I think he is using one of his Simmoet/HPDC cars

**GTRMagic** · 5 Apr 2006, 09:26 (Ref:1571224)

The team is building a drift car from a Commodore shell... more power, more durability, more suitability than a circuit racer...

Razor · 5 Apr 2006, 09:33 (Ref:1571231)

Is he going to use the norm V8, a supercharged 7.0L or a V8 TEGA spec 5.0L?

**GTRMagic** · 5 Apr 2006, 09:44 (Ref:1571242)

The press release Here doesnt say, but the PMM team owner suggested the 650bhp school car was ".. underpowered.."

Razor · 5 Apr 2006, 09:54 (Ref:1571252)

yeah, most V8's in the drift series have round about 700 to 800 BHP

**GTRMagic** · 5 Apr 2006, 09:59 (Ref:1571255)

An unrestricted Nations Cup spec 7.0L Monaro engine would get 750bhp... whether the rev range would suit drifting might be an interesting discussion point...

BigDaddy · 5 Apr 2006, 10:04 (Ref:1571260)

It is refreshing to see the drfting topic being discussed. I have spent some time debating the need for at least a Drifting thread in one of the forums, it has been placed in the National & Club Racing forum

**GTRMagic** · 5 Apr 2006, 10:09 (Ref:1571266)

It can live here as long as it is relevant to the Australian motorsport arena, and stays on topic... if it drifts away (boom boom) from the original subject... it may not survive...

racer69 · 5 Apr 2006, 10:10 (Ref:1571267)

You would think Morris would be busy trying to get his V8Supercar competitive.......

BigDaddy · 5 Apr 2006, 10:11 (Ref:1571269)

Thanks GTR, I am happy to hear that

dude67 · 5 Apr 2006, 10:12 (Ref:1571270)

stroked 454 small block chev. 600 hp .Carby no EFI. Holinger box .IRS.

No frills drift Machine.Should be ready for testing in 2 weeks.

BigDaddy · 5 Apr 2006, 10:14 (Ref:1571273)

There is a drift practice day at Winton on April 16th, it is being held by VicDrift. The prices are reasonable and perfect for anyone who wants to get involved.

lol...there are only two (at the moment anyway)

850HP Hankook Monaro
1000+HP CAPA Ute

Both beasts belong to Robbie Bolger, and were put together with a little assistance from the dude himself, so I think its fitting for him to join the fun.

kosher_pig · 5 Apr 2006, 11:37 (Ref:1571335)

but no more drifting at Calder Park too many thickheaded Ginos not doing as they are told

Dirk · 5 Apr 2006, 11:42 (Ref:1571342)

I was of the opinion that the Monaro ran a Perkins V8, could be wrong though.

not sure where the engine comes from, but it is fairly similar to the engines that were in the GRM Nations Cup Monaros I think

dude67 · 5 Apr 2006, 21:49 (Ref:1571779)

bolgers Monaro runs a ex ex gibson motorsport supercar engine stroked to 6.0 litre.

Razor · 5 Apr 2006, 22:14 (Ref:1571798)

Bolgers Hankook Moanaro uses a PMM devloped Chev 18 degree engine stroked to 7.0 liters, and runs Gibson heads and is supercharged.

dude67 · 6 Apr 2006, 10:24 (Ref:1572090)

The engine was built by Craig hastead using old gibson injection .It is not Blown.

The ute has a blown LS1 .

HDTLE · 6 Apr 2006, 21:51 (Ref:1572628)

Is it too late for someone to sponsor my VN saloon for the Mallala drift meeting? I have a spare supercharger
