Thats more like it, much more subtle! Think it might suit some fairly deep wheels that are similar to the original rears its wearing. Whats it got under the bonnet?

Wheels are Merc Penta's, its a standard engine 24v Cosworth mated to a very rare MT75 V6 gearbox from Europe. Ran a 1/4 mile in 15.7 sec's before the following (i've not done a 1/4 with the below list):
Vectra Injectors
LSD
Weight reduction (sound deadening removed)
Stripped doors & hatch with plastic/perspex windows

Bigger? im not sure actually mate, they may not have more lift, but rather duration/overlap could be different.

M4tt274 - Yes gearbox has the xr4x4 bellhousing

Rob DOHC - thanks lamp post was recycled by the local p*keys, BOB cams are a possibility and i have some BOB heads so will look to do the change over one day.

She's "BarryBoy'd" back together ATM, though i do need to do it correctly (it looks ok - keeps the neighbours off my back) and the stops the scrapman knocking.

BOB cams have an extra .5mm of lift, but they need timing up properly to make the most difference

mt75 was fitted to lesser v6 engined euro granadas/scorpios, but not over here unfortunately

you should post u some pics of the "wicks" windows you have in the other doors mr King
