This extremely nice1955 OSCA MT4 came

straight from Belgium to our shop. The engine

needed a complete rebuild and a re-design of

the oiling system.

We put in a trip master and

had to recreate a drive for it in the transmission.

Installed seat belts and went through the braking

system. We installed a hydraulic hand brake and

had a custom tonneau made for it.



 

This Lotus Elite was received with a lot of praise at the Peoria Wheel O"Time Museum.





 



Don Tuscany, the owner of this Fiat 124 lost a flywheel after installing a new cylinder head. Luckily no damage was done to the valve train and we rebuild the engine for Don. The builder of the head had used valve spring shims to adjust the valve clearance. One of the shims found its way out of the bucket on the dyno. We rebuild the head and installed venier sprockets, did the cam shaft timing and found almost 15 extra HP.

At the moment the Fiat is prepared for the 2006 season starting at Hallett in March. The car is getting a new rear end, new seat belts installed (to work with a HANS device) and many more minor adjustments.



 

This 1963 Alpine Berlinette A110 raced at the 24 hours of Sebring in 1965. It's equiped with a rare 804 motor (1100cc Gordini) that HRC is rebuilding after a rod bearin spun. We will also do some work on the chassis, and rear end.


This 1972 ex Ecurie Filipinetti Martini MK9 (MK does not stand for Mark, but Martini-Knight) was driven to a second place in the 1972 European F3 Championship by Frenchman Jacques Coulon.

Now HRC owner Yves Boode races it during most of the VSCDA events in the Mid West. A broken brake rotor caused the only DNF at Mid Ohio. The extensive damage was repaired in house during the after hours.



 

HRC rebuilt the engine of this 1961 Mini Cooper S after it had dropped a valve. We also installed a front and a bigger rear anti roll bar. After these improvements the car raced for the first time at Blackhawk Farms and finished fifth overall.



 

Another nice Fiat 124 spider. This one is raced with Mid Western Council as an ITB racer. The owner asked us to go through the car and resolve some problems with overheating brakes and a rear end issue.
We also welded up a spare differential, and will align and weigh the car before the season starts.




 

This pretty potent Datsun 510 had the Engine rebuild with durability in mind by HRC. After the rebuild, the owners couldn’t set the carburetors up properly and asked us to see what we could do. For safety reasons we will also install a removable steering wheel.

Hopefully this car will be flying around Blackhawk Farms again soon, as the driver hasn’t decided to continue racing.
