Full marks to Scott - Yes it's off Pepe's Nova - I've not seen any recent progress pictures of his nova - I don't know if he'll ever finish it !!!!! - (A Bit like mine really :roll: !!)
His engine is running a dry sump system so Oil is filled via a dry sump tank

In that pic it look as if he has had some adjustable tie bars made (look like track rod style adjustment) humm :)
Also seing that manifold is making me feel sick,i need to get that BTB one fitted to mine and the car mapped asap. :roll:
Scott
looks like the "std" rally tie bar mod Ive gone a slightly different route (buts its probably got a huge flaw in it but meh ill discover that when we get there.
damn it dave replied before me lol
I know its a bit off topic but whats the advantage to havin the ajustable tie bar on ur mans car? (i want to learn lol)
adjustable castor is achieved.... for those who wish to play about with that
Cheers but whats that exacly?
start a new thread / google it ;)
they a brilliant Dave! thats the sort of thing i fancy!

Ditto.
The custard cream rocker made me laugh, but strangly peckish.
Gault I like your rocker cover, its one of those features that just catch you eye when you walk past an open bonnet at a show in the summer.
what about this?

Dan, your rocker cover is subtle and works really well, it compliments your nicely detailed engine bay too. Leave well alone!!
