The Nasty Toy Pulling Team from Ljungbyhed in Sweden are working on their Mini Rod called ,,Swedish Iron Toy´´ at the moment. The turbocharged Mini Rod gets a new homemade Docol tube frame with a new Docol ROP and a new rear axle. The drivers position on the new frame is around 60mm more forward and the center of gravety is around 50mm lower than on the old frame. The Team hopes to get a better balance with those changes. The Tractor gets a Ford 9´´ rear axle with a new homemade rear axle housing, ZF planetaries and a Vreemann differential from the Netherlands. Also the Mini Rod gets a set of new rims with Cepek tyres from CM Pulling tyres in the USA.
Also the turbocharged BAE V8 Hemi engine of the Tractor receives some changes. The engine gets a new larger methanol fuel pump, new bigger injectors and a new oil tank from AVIAID for the new dry sump lubrication.
The Nasty Toy Pulling Team will compete in the Swedish Championship and in the Euro Cup this year. The first start with the new frame is planned for the 20th of May 2016 at the Euro Cup event in Lidköping, Sweden.
