NEWBIE FROM THE NICE AND WET UK WITH MK1 CORTINA 2LTR XFLOW AND MK2 RS2000

Good day all , thought i would come along and say hello , some very very nice cars on this site top work by all
I own a Mk2 cortina 1200 deluxe with a little twist its running All Steel Full Race 1951cc xflow running ax block 1 off pistons , forged crank h beam rods , ultra big valve head , twin 48 webbers etc
Will let the pics do the talking , Car Made 175bhp and 7100rpm on its 1st dyno outing that was with only adjustment to jets on carbs and no timming adjustments so hoping to break the 180 mark with bags of torque , Also own a Mk2 Rs2000 running Harris 200bhp Pinto but soon to be changed back to possibly 2.5 Alloy YB or 2.3 still unsure at moment
Well heres the cars

    Welcome, and awesome looking cars you have there. If it makes you feel any better the weather down under has been average lately, well in Adelaide anyway.
     
    Cheers
