The undesired oil filler cap which i no longer need


Looks better without! this isnt a finished product just a mock up also decided im going to loose the breather outlets for a total smooth look

With the original dash gone i can start to fit new dash and loom! Also didnt think before i did this that the fuse box is mounted on the dash, so now i will have to make some kind of mount to hold it..... A bracket is also needed for the headlight switch as i still need it for the MOT

Pics of Gtfo can't wait to See what you have done did the 5.5" clutch appear

Mate i still have a cheeky **** over that clutch but will be sticking to the 7.25" ... just with new plates that dont have oil on them! I was going to go for a SCCR set but the ratios are terrible for straight lining, I think i would end up in 5th going over the finish line!

The rods should help get the zing im after a lower centrefugal mass with a smaller clutch would be an added bonus but the pockets are looking empty at the moment! I might be rebuilding the old engine with my old rods pistons and cams though if you know of anyone interested it would be good for 200 at the flywheel i reckon

New shiny bits turned up today! Got some cosworth slipper pistons (2ring) and some PEC rods which i believe are 4mm longer than standard....

Thought id do a weigh in against the old setup... the old rod and piston together was 1.178kg and the new rod and piston come to 1.00kg bang on!

700g saved off of the reciprocating mass + less friction due to the new pistons which has one less ring and alot less skirt + the reduction in angularity of the con rod = more power and a revvier engine!

Will start getting another block bored and then get some pics of the build up :D
