Riot down under

[ozePhoenix]

We had the final round of the West Aust Sprint series at the RAC track adjacent to Perth airport on 26th Oct.
My Phoenix is still engine-less unfortunately. However Sylva was represented by Bob Schrader driving his Riot to a respectable place given the wet conditions (and a couple of spins) in the morning session.

This Riot was built by Andrew Baker who has recently completed & registered his J15 which makes a grand total of 3 Sylva's in Perth

Like it looking good what engine is in it?

Looks nice

Did this have to go through the chassis twisting jig?
What sort of numbers did he get?

Engine is a 1.6 litre Ford Fiesta. I need to check with Andrew regarding the chassis torsion test. I didn't have to do one for the Phoenix as the chassis came from a recognised manufacturer (of course!)

Duratech 1.6 engine in the Riot has different cams & head to standard. Also same unmodified engine in the J15.
As far as torsion testing of the J15 chassis is concerned, I understand Andrew used a 3D analysis of the chassis to determine the structural rigidity and therefore, compliance. Don't know what the figures actually were.
We (Perth Sylva's x3) are hoping to get together for a few photo's in another month or so
