Graham's is a fabulous spec. car, and very, very quick.

I've only seen a couple of photos, so I'm very much looking forward to seeing all the details.

Graham, you will need to get up to 15 posts on PNG before you can load photos up. Host them with 'Photobucket' or similar, and just copy and paste the image link into this thread.

awesome spec, mostest n/a c/x16xe ive ever seen. Huge torque , and power. Must be a great build.
I see the jenvey itb spacers and as much air feed ducting as possible; is best policy then.

The throttle bodies are spaced out by 70mm this is worth 15 ftlbs of torque DTW Engines in Harlow are the dogs gonads, he was Brian Harts engine man, built engines for James Hunt ect in Formular Atlantic in the 80's a real engineer. The engine revs to 8600 rpm all day long and is sweet. Will have to follow Colins lead and get the Nova on a diet

Had many class wins but race wins are tricky as there are several 500bhp + cars in the series and some 800bhp cars

There a high chance it probably is though, as alot of them ended up oblitirated/reshelled umpteen times etc etc.

Have no idea how you'd find out though?!

I just stumbled accross this thread and thought I recognised the car from the pictures on the link that Colin posted. After having a little search at the pictures I took at Lydden Hill at the Truck Festival last weekend I then realised that's where I noticed the car! It was racing throughout the weekend in the "2012 Cannons Motor Spares TinTop Challenge".

It performed very well during the weekend and looked pretty quick against cars in higher classes!

As pictures were never posted here are a couple of pictures I took of it:
