pretty much finished tacking up the downpipe this evening. A good few hours lying under the car getting all the angles right but it seems to be okay. Clearance is abit tight around the steering coupling but it clears so thats the main thing. Going to get it all tig welded up in the week and be the sensor boss's welding in too.
thats fecking awesome
these are daddy engines mate and tune very well
keep alook out for a mk2 frs turbo (jamsport have got a few spares) and 440cc injectors and you will have a strong 370bhp and massive torque

Brings back memories I owned a 100E back in 1963 came with a 1172cc sidevalve engine & 3 speed box. Would reach 75mph with a gale force wind behind it

sorry for the lack of updates, not much really happening, well it is but slowly
finally sorted the exhaust, just need to get it all tig welded up
hopefully the interior panels should be finished in the next few weeks, just getting to grips with the sewing machine
