230hp sounds very much better. and just what does it weigh with you in it??? under 600kg yet???
To contact me please use E-MAIL to colinesmith@aol.com.
thousands of Nova (plus other Vauxhall and motorsport parts) available.
371bhp/tonne is some rapid method of transport....
Please tell me you're have the crank breathed on too
breathing on a crankshaft wont do much tbh

i think the crank has proven itself to be quite strong so far.
it has such a short stroke & being turbo means it is not exactly running f1 revs, so it should cope with 230 hp.
Frame looks really good; love the chassis leg transitions & is that a 4th mount to the front too?
Just think of the weight you could loose from the crank giving it a knife edge
Do you have pictures or spec of proposed steering arms / UJs? Be interested to see how small you dare & how they'll attach to the rack.
Welcome back good to see the old girl will it make national weekend this year?
Love the engine mate wish i could aford that type of set up.
