My car currently weighs 809kg,
but does use 'glass guards and engine cover to account for some of the weight associated with saftey, engine and tranny....f'glass bonnet too.

Mine only makes 225 out of 2715cc so mike has done a top job on that engine.( mine about 250 to 255 FW)

He may have had the dyno set on engine power,
but even accounting for that, it is still is higher than what Rod R's 11.96@112 combo makes.(168@wheels)


airkewld - May 21st, 2008 at 03:26 PM

I would have liked to have come to the Pizza run night however i will not be able to make it... (sorry dino) ..... I want to keep the car with as much orginal body parts as possible like steel guards etc but at the same time i want to make it lighter... its a tough choice.... i am very happy with the hp mike got from the engine..... when u say dyno set on engine power what do u mean?
