Heres a shot showing most of the competition aswell. The yellow single seater 2 cars after our orange one is our old car which is also running a ZX14 motor N/A. The red car right after the orange is running a Busa engine.
Our supercharged ZX14 orange car is at 1:55 on the video.

Just back from the 2nd round of the Sicilian circuit championship with a broken engine again.
Luck is definately not on our side this year.
Car was out on the track in qualifying doing some great lap times but after 3 laps developed a horrible noise, got stuck in gear and suddenly dropped oil pressure to Zero.
Stripped the engine down yesterday to find out what the hell went wrong to find that the clutch basket rivets that hold on to the back plate came out causing all the clutch damper springs etc. to come out breaking the oil pump drive etc.
I remember noticing that the rivets supplied with the billet basket kit were very short for our liking. Anyone fitting a billet basket, be VERY carefull to check that the rivets are long enough!!
Will post pics later on.

was it a falicon basket?
Something to consider is the car has WAY more traction than a bike, and you could never hammer the gears on a bike like you do that car.
man sorry for your luck

Its a Muzzy billet basket. When we assembled it, it looked as though the rivets were a bit to short for the job but we thought that once they were the rivets with the kit they should be ok. Obviously we were wrong!
Next time its assembled we will spot weld them from behind the plate. I've noticed that powertech do this on all their clutches.
Just finished stripping down the engine and luckily it looks like all the crank journals are ok. A fresh set of shells and a rebuild and should be good to go.

Falicon welds the rivets on theirs. Not just a spot weld either. They weld the rivets in to stay.

I have a Falicon Billet on a FJ1200. Installed 1989 and 21 years later and 60,000 Hard miles.
Drag Strip, street racing never pampered. Used it on two different engines(1310cc), the legend car guys liked them. I am sure there are others but these guys have been doing this a Long time.
