In the car :


On its way up to Gripfab


I want to change the injectors from 550cc to something a bit higher and replace the standard intake manifold, have it looking more like the engine below :


The aim is for a comfortable 500bhp without pushing the engine too hard.

So I offered up some Racing Harts I had out in the shed, 18 x 10JJ and with a 50mm spacer I think they'll be minty

You and me both buddy

Poor car is feeling neglected but hopefully she'll be heading up to Gripfab soon to have some fab work done :


But at least its good for storing wheels :


And here are some shots of the Racing Harts :
