Rob_Mitchell Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Change? lol:D Car is going to be mental with the twins. Do you have aftermarket cams already and uprated springs and retainers? Would be good to whack the rev limit up and make full use of the twins and that built bottom end you have. Head work is stock Chris, just refreshed with new valve stem seals... nothing special. Im going built head end of the year with the built autobox. cant afford to do it this side of the show season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 If it's not, I'm sorry. But is the bonnet a different colour to the wings, or have they faded in the sunlight? They just look slightly different in the pictures. Either way, it's looking fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 That looks more like the lighting in the photos. We all know Mr M doesn't handle a Kodak very well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Even in F&F when he pulls up to race wars the wings look a different colour! Just a trick of the light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Even in F&F when he pulls up to race wars the wings look a different colour! Just a trick of the light I think its the curve of the wing to the flatness of the bonnet, in pics in mags my wings look bright gold in colour and the rest look orangey brown in some lights. F&F!! Great lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee seems to think he can tackle engine/box out, fit twin kit, engine/box back in and do couple of niggley jobs in a week.... but he is so busy, he can just tackle mine when he wants, im in no rush. - - - Updated - - - That's awesome! They will look epic side by side You know!! i might gold plate the ends when i get it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 How did you modify the water pump to take a` high pressure fitting did you chop the steel pipe off and thread inside that or drill the hole thing out and thread the casting? Or does it just unscrew? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does it just unscrew? You cut the sleeve off then drill the rest out 10.2mm then tap it out m12x1.25mm Thought I answered that when you p.m'd me.
