Well, cleaned her today. Didnt get a chance to get the wax on, took agees to get all the winter tar off. Doesn't look bad for a car that's used so often

Rick, are your rear light's tinted differently or is it just the camera angle(s) ?

Looks lovely though mate

If you want summin to take the piss out of go look in the mirror

Cheers mate

T28 - steel rods, cosworth racing forged pistons, NMS head, cermaic exhasut valves, NMS intercooler, std cam timed in on vernier, 5th inj on MF2, grpA t34, grpA coil.

Made 210 @ 11psi on a 4by T3. Runs 26psi on the t34 at the moment, so id say over 250.

It's weird, it looks like two different set's of aftermarket rear clusters in a way, like a nomad smoked one and the other common one, like I have on mine....

mfi makes no differnce to power output, it's juts harder to calibrate. Power is all in the cylinder head and intercooler.. With 16psi, u should do 230hp.
