Hey, the brakes are being upgraded today to ventilated and slotted Capri ones with new pads all round and it will also be dynoed in the next couple of days. Can't wait.

Here is a photo of my completed custom console which is also getting upholstered in the next few weeks.

Well I finally had her dynoed. I am very pleased with the results. [^] Rolly has done a very good job.

The engine has very useful power, I won't need to overstress the engine to achieve it, 127bhp at the wheels. It has a very flat 825 ft/lb of torque useable over a very large rev range.

Very happy


This was with a standard fan on it still, so when I eventually fit an electric fan the results shall be better.

Go the Carbs!!! [:x)]

The Brakes have been ugraded to Capri spec on the front, vented and slotted, with overhauled M16 callipers. The pads are Ferodo DS3000 all round and work extremely well, no warm up required.

All I have to do is wait for the centre console to be upholstered and then I'll get her registered... finally.

Somethings a bit odd... is top speed really 100km/h?

This was done in 4th gear? (1:1 drive)
