Major build up weld work - project to increase flow -ai
Dear all As some of you know my 382 on ITBs is now on the road and ready to race. What I am planning is a rework of the manifold as the power band is a little lower then I would like. The manifold is quite a restriction - and although it's making great power I think I am loosing about 80hp as the pe...

Coops mate - going to give you some tough love! Pretty much all of us at the moment have been on our arse!! Some financially - some physically - and some emotionally! I am not going to list anybody at all. A grass roots racer is not just somebody who shows and shines, or buys parts as you know. It's...

As I am in the middle of a fairly big rover to GM conversion - I can vouch it is definitely more expensive then you expect! It's all the little and not so little changes needed.

The chassis rails are the main problem- have not tried any yet - but real steel will never t allow me to ret...
