PassionFord Post Whore!!
Maybe you've taken what I've said the wrong way mate, not important really especially not too me, my car has an average torque figure for its spec and at only 500hp I love the way it drives.
Seeing as these days what with the Borg Warner turbo take over happening and them turbos producing so much low down torque I find it nice when a little gem like this car turns up.
I would rather have that spec engine in my Sierra than an efr conversion tbh
Cheers Paul

Would this Dax need any more power or response than its already got, I very much doubt it and If I was the new owner I would be leaving it as it is for as long as possible and just enjoying it.

Not having a dig at you as you have already had some disagreements aired on here about engine specifications , but its just that there always seems to be someone saying that no matter what someone has done they should have used the more modern turbos etc.

It really is! I'm to have a go with one but I had a gsxr 750 and it's the only thing I can even begin to compare how fast the speedo goes up! Yet with it being an open top car, so low to the ground, it feels soo much quicker!

I know a chap that had an r500 caterham with a sequential...he hid it away after going past a police car having a race with a sports bike near brands hatch...[he was certain they didn't get his plate as nobody came knocking so he hid it for 6 months so it wasn't recognised next time he was out....don't think they could have done anything but he was scared to death.

my problem now is time. In that I really don't have much as I travel a lot with work and have a 3 year old and a 7 month old.
i knew Paul was looking to sell. Hope you got a good deal.
Porkie on here is mid way through a re spec and re build as well on his Westie.

I thought it sounded like Paul's car when the big cooler and rear rad was mentioned.

if I pushed the engine builder more it would be finished. Rear rad and front intercooler all done. Bespoke twin scroll manifold and exhaust all done.
