a ok, what offset and width are they wheels?

The fronts are 7.5" wide, but I've never measured the offset, there are 3 sets of wheels for the car which were all custom made to suit.

ok thanks

Garage looks great, wish i had that space.

I've just picked up a Corsa bias pedal box from Jezz (Toymex), which will hopefully solve my issues with lack of legroom caused by the original floor mounted pedal box I had.

Further details to follow, and additional thanks to Simon (STT) who has sent me loads of details regarding modifications to the Corsa B pedal box which can be used in place of the Nova one.


If this set-up sorts things out, all I then have to do is adapt the clutch pedal to actuate a hydraulic master cylinder (as I'm on a hydraulic clutch system).

My garage is looking full. I sold a lot, then filled it up with more stuff...........note the Alfa 33 race car I have recently acquired;







I've also bought a 1400 Tigra, as I am going to fit my Nova with a smallblock XE engine, fitted with Jenvey throttle bodies and an MBE ECU/loom. As there's currently no way I can afford to get my 1.0 turbo engine rebuilt, the 1400cc 16v engine is the cheapest way to get my car back out racing (now over 18 months since it last raced).







Throttle body kit waiting;

Good plan buying the tigra.

Good plan buying the tigra.

Even more so as it was only £130 for the whole car!

I've got another Tigra 1600cc as my daily driver now, they are just so cheap it makes sense.

I so want the alfa. One of my biggest regrets getting rid of my 33 especially as it was a green cloverleaf

The mock-up engine was removed yesterday;





And the smallblock XE engine I'm going to use will soon be ready to go in;





I'm going to paint the engine bay today so it's grey again.
