The 2332 engine is now running damn well. Clocking up 170hp at 5320rpm and 245Nm of torque at 4450rpm

This video shows how good the Porsche replica rims look

I have just ordered a new pressure plate and clutch disc so I can put the power down properly.

I also bought a bigger camshaft in case I get bored one day and decide to rip the engine apart :mrgreen:
But for now, it will stay as it.

And to add to it, I have also ordered another linkage system as the one I have isnt opening the carbs fully.

She sounds very good Tony, love that deep growl when you put some pedal to the metal.
Nevermind how fast! Blue lightning would be a more appropriate name. :hangloose:

No wheelspin that I can hear or remember feeling.
The vid seems to make it sound turbo'ed almost as if its got a dump valve


Number plates.... no idea, have not looked into it yet

New clutch and pressure plate is in my hands. Now to make the decision about when to do the change. I really hope the new ones hold up.

big enough worklist already for my next leave period. Hopefully I'll get thru most of it. Time will tell.
