Twin
IDF Webbers on Group 1 inlet manifold with custom airbox (cant quite recall barrel size – 48 or 51?). Heaps of dyno time to get jetting perfectly matched to motor.
Originally built by Rob Mules for ARN Junior Challenge
Last dyno’d at 130hp at the wheels on rally tyres

Motor had previously been developed further with an Emerald Phase 5 cam, which made more power but was too
peaky and so the Phase 4 was re-instated which gave a better spread of power across the rev range (and better stage times). A lot of development has gone into this motor with no expense spared to get the right balance of power and reliability. Its just awesome to drive.

CAMS logbook
Neat Rod Kilby cage
Seam welded

Hi Dicko, Do you have any photo's of the car posted up somewhere that I can view?
 
Do you know if the cage can be certified for CAMS track events? 

The car is log booked with CAMS, and as far as I know once its log booked then the cage is legal for any CAMS events from then on.  So I would reckon it would be fine for track work.
 
It is a steel six point, with an additional diagnal on the main hoop, a bar between the rear legs for the harnesses to mount too, and intrusion bars on both sides. All weld in.
 
Its tagged to the A pillars and B pillars, so its all pretty well integrated.

Still for sale. Car is ready to rally and may end up running in the National Capital Rally in late Feb if not sold prior.
