Nice job, especially with the yoko's... I assume you've gone to 7.5 or 7.9" disks and have not spacered the 10's out to fit over the 8.4's ?

Ye, Ive gone for 7.5 inch S gear and drilled disks and EBC greenstuff. With the end so light i can get the rear wheels off the floor at 90mph with the pads warm.

Heres a picture of my big boy toy. Its a 1275 a seires block(pre A-Pus) Offset bored to 74 mm (1400 or 1399). Its been modified for nitrous with a full race 37/31mm head. Its conducted by a kent 286 cam and duplex timing chain. The box is a sccr built by myself and supplied by minisport. The carbs a Hiff 44 for now but when its worn in and ive got used to the extra power I will probable put 2 of these on alongside the nitrous.

This is a close up of the head. Its modified for nos but in this pic it was not quite finished. After this shot it was skimmed, had new guides and was fully ported but only polished on the exhaust ports as i beleive you can loose power if you do the inlets.

the chrome trim around the top of the doors (like MK 1) looks good on a dark car :grin:
