Guys, changed the oil in my car the other day and in my haste I forgot to fill the new oil filter with oil before I put it on. Put in the usual amount of oil...
Davin, I suspect that with the oil level too high, you've stired up the oil up with windage from the crank. The only other posibility although unlikely by...
Thanks Ian, The only other variable which I didnt consider is that I have a new sump extension on the car. The old one was an alloy cup which bolted up with...
Davin, Draining the sump will be over kill(unless you think you may have dislodged the pick up), lower oil level to the correct level by taking some of the oil...
Question; In most if not all other Australian racing categories there exists at least two sub categories, THAT RACE TOGETHER. For example, starting from the...

Kevin, shouldn't they aim first or is that an after thought. Anyway nice to see that some people there believes that there is a mythical nirvana out there....
I recently purchased a 67 Lamco (from the Vee website) and am planning on competing it next year. First I'll need to make some structural changes as I must be...
thanks Ian, I just thought it's time to provoke some thought, I suspect many FV owners don't have a clue what's going on becuase in some states the club ...

Kevin and the group thanks for opening the discussion. I am moved to have a say. I am "the fence sitter" and while I wait for the reality to hit that a FV1600...
Peter/Kevin and everyone else I'm an SA (formerly Vic) 1200 runner and consider myself somewhat of a fence-sitter also. I have spent some time over the last...

Hi, I am trying to track down any information in regards the Quartly Vee that was raced by Terry Quartly in the late 60's early 70's. Garry Quartly is keen to...
I have a 1200 car and have run it in NSW againts 1600's. All who know me are well aware that I am starting to collect parts to convert my car to a 1600. To me,...
Hi All, Can anyone give me a list examples of how maintaining a 1600 Fvee is cheaper than a 1200? 2003 is my first year in vees and as a novice, I've heard...
Just to put the cost into perspective a new turn key FV1200 will cost around $2,000 to $3,000 more than a 1600, and it is all because of the engine. A new...

Hi Stephen, I see. So it cots less to buy and prepare a 1600 compared to a 1200? I can see the advantage of a new or existing competitor needing to replace...
George The 1200 heads can be ported (ie cost a lot) and there is a lot of work involved in getting a 1200 carby and manifold to flow the best. This is were the...

On the engine george: - Head's and manifold must remain as cast, therefore eleminating the need for porting. - Rings etc are cheaper in the 1600 (buy about...
Hi Stephen, Ahh, the jigsaw is beginning to fit together and the logic applied to the FVA rules seem to make more sense. Many thanks for the info. George ... ...
Hi Daniel, Thanks for your input. Are you suggesting that 1600 cars will no longer require long gearboxes? How much more torque will the 1600 produce (does ...
George First thing to know is that there has now been one and a half seasons of 1600 racing in NSW with no inherent problems and now several race meetings in...
George A lot of the information you require, and much more can be found on the cams regs: http://www.fvansw.asn.au/B03-025%20Formula%20Vee%20Revisions.pdf and...
All correct Daniel, with the exception of side impact panels. If you convert a 1200 to 1600 it will be issued with a new log book, meaning it's a new car and...
