I'll get another picture of the engine in a sec. Even the drivers seat has been moved to sit dead on with the stearing wheel.
Damo,
Brett had this rolling roaded at around 205BHP, the engine is standard internally so this figure is about right for a set of tapered throttle bodies and increased rev limit.
The roll cage looks pretty but doesn't offer much in the way of protection. I love the way the car looks though and the attention to detail is excellent (eg. reconditioned Pilbeam 2.5in front coilovers!!)
Certainly gotta take my hat off to him and Dave on the work, any more pictures the better - if you've got any high res ones I'd love to see them.
On your throttle body vs. turbo question. It would depend on what sort of power figure you were wanting. If you are gonna go for a high power lump then bear in mind that with the throttle bodies your car will become a pain in the arse when the weather gets cold. pm if you want any more info on this, I've gone down the high power QED/SBD route.
