Monty the Rwd R1 engined tarmac eating Minus by Alburglar

3 minute(s) of a 160 minute read

Wahoo! Just got back from Rolling Road session at Gerald Dale Motorsport. He is brilliant and sorted my car out a treat.
It's just short of 90bhp at 6250 rpm!
Real nice spread of power now

And just look at this torque curve, it's incredible. Straight to 80 Ib per ft and stays there throughout the rev range.
The car is a total weapon now!

popped in to swiftune on the way back to tell them, and they were well pleased, it's the most I could of hoped for.
Still on standard rockers and Not got a weber on it, so if I ever get bored I can up the power to close to 110bhp I reckon.

Don't think I'll get bored tho, just look at how the torque holds with the HIF44 carb.  
It's a monster. Grr!

the above pic was of the mould with the bonnet's gel coat applied

the bonnet itself is now made. wait and see what it looks like

I also have fitted a smiths split guage. oil pressure and mechancial (accurate) temp guage. But guage was second hand and didn't come with the adapter to fit to cylinder head! If anyones got one I've got a tenner waiting for you?

Also fitted a 5inch moster tacho and shift light, which only worked in neutral. So I ripped it out. Turns out it's for a bike, dunno how that makes a difference, should still be 4 cylinder?????

As discussed shortening column soloutions to suit car/driving position.
Column from an allegro. Modified mini would be easy peasy too.

Put some halogen headlights on.
And this lovely split guage.

Please see my technical query if you have ever had a mechanical/capillary guage before.
