Thanks James, yes it is indeed.

Hi Lee,
Good to see you again mate and nice to work on the car, its built to a meticulous standard. Very rare to see one restored to such a nice level and still used.

Glad you enjoyed the drive home. Told you it would run 30 on the road, we mapped it at 30 but shootout mode has various limitations to dyno load so boost is often down on the flywheel power runs.

We map at far higher loads during live mapping. I got a great picture of your manifold during the boost loading runs...!

 

 

Still 370 odd is plenty enough to be having some fun

 

Stu, The drive home was indeed very smooth and responsive and Lee is very happy how it's turned out. Also good to see you again.

Now I just need to do mine....

Paul

 

Stu those pictures are not correct mate.

 

Stu has withdrawn the 1st pic now as I spoke to him earlier on as it was not my engine bay,not sure if the 2nd pic is mine or not as it's just to dark to tell.

Thanks for the comments about the car,much appreciated.
Yes the car goes very well now, it's so smooth, great to see the 30psi on the road as you said it would do, not bad for a shonkey old taxi ey..lol..

CheeRS.Lee.

 

Yes indeed Matt, a lot of people I know have gone from this sort of spec to bigger bhp units and quite a few have regretted it. From my discusisons with quite a few owners over the years, they say 380 thereabouts is the ultimate road spec and the power can be transferred to the tarmac with the right parts,tyres etc.
Having had a few 450 to 500bhp cossies, it's always on your mind that you want more though..lol but this comes as a trade off, traction, clutches etc.Of course these obstacles can be overcome, basically it's then how big is your wallet. Beam, diff, clutch, turbo,cams, 200 block long studded, head work, the list goes on and on. I know, I have been there a few times.
I am delighted with it I have to say.

Thats just such a nice car Lee, i’d be over the moon with that power figure, fantastic road cossie that buddy. You’ve done a cracking job to it pal.


Pete

 

As Stu said Pete, it's a real 372 and on a proper state of the art dyno so can't complain really.It goes well out on the road so it's a win win.
Thanks for the comments Pete.

Are you going to RScombe Lee so I can see them stunning white hoses lol


Steve

 

Nice results mate.

 

Hey Steve,hows it going? That was pretty damn spookey that I text you lunch time as I haven't seen your message on here until now.Yes I will be at Combe, you can inspect my white hoses as you obviously do have a fetish for them..lol.

Thanks Matt, yes a nice power for a road car.Trouble is once you have had more as I have with quite a few of my other cossies, you always want more.

After viewing Lee's car today at the RS show at Castle Combe forthwith his car is now called the MINSTRAL. Everything on it is Black and White lol.


It was nice to catch up today Lee, I hope to see you at Rallye Day.


Steve

 

Hey up Steve, yes great to see you today, good weather, good banter, you just cannot go wrong.
I was over the moon to get 2nd place in the show and shine today, I really wasn't expecting that.

CheeRS.Lee.

 

well done lee,a nice reward for all that effort

 

Thanks James, yes it was a nice reward.

CheeRS.Lee.

 

Looked good Lee.😎

 

Great result Lee, chuffed for you pal, you’ve put a lot into bud so nice to get the rewards back

 

Nice one Pete.I was so excited, I couldn't beleive it.

CheeRS.Lee.

 

A few more jobs done oil and filter change, replaced both steering rack gaitors, re route a few pipes for the boost control. Fit a new set of PIAA sports horns, changed washer bottle sensor, adjusted the backbox slightly and re route temp sender wiring.









Thanks. Lee.

 

I have only just tided up the garage
Bloody hot day that was......

 

It was a hot day, glad you managed to sort out all the little jobs I had for you.Top man Paul as always.
