Im looking for some stronger springs to fit on my 2.8i front struts.. Just wondering if anyone knows what is the max rated springs they do for the standard struts ?? and does anyone know how you work out what poundage springs you need for a 925+lbs engine ?? Ive looked on capri sport and they do a n...

I know of 2 lads at g`boro that had them too.

u??

Still looking forward to seeing them

Lol. The problem i might have is i proberbly had about 300 ish flbs torque with my new one im thinking around 650+flbs and with then engine only been moved 1 1/2" forward compared to my front end at 6.25" so that means my engine is still quite far back... My theory is it will look and sound the buis...

I was just thinking on my Pythag theory all you are trying to do is get the front wheels higher in the air! Amazing project Ian :lol: :lol: :lol: I dont know if it will either calm it down or turn it into a crazy green eyed monster :D All i know is that if it does wheelie ill be getting billed for ...

TC, Its a very solid chassis as it has been solid mounted (engine and gearbox) for a few years and it has 4 link back end so it doesnt seem to bother it. Dont know what power to expect to be truthfull. I would like to start with 650+ and when it gets set up work up to around 750ish when i can afford...

Over the last 2 days ive had my jeep at my mates place where we are making it a 6" longer wheel base and fitting a blown 470ci BBC. The first few are as we jut started it. http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii238/v8jago/27122008161.jpg http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii238/v8jago/27122008162.jpg ...

Merry xmas and happy new year to one and all.
This holiday gives me time to get my jeep started and well on its way hopefully. 2009 will be a whole lot different engine wise performance and even getting the way it looks altered. Might see you at the event you have planned (money permitted).
Adam.

Glad you got back ok. Keep me informed in how its going.

There is a blower manifold on ebay for sale at the moment.

My ideal way to go would be a 3.9 with the 4.8 stroker kit and put arp through out to make it a stronger engine and you wont have a problem. My mate ran his manta with stage one wildcat heads and the 3.9 with the 4.8 stroker kit and has ran a 9.6 1/4 mile and had around 600bhp through it sometimes a...

Eppo, It was good to meet you and put a face to your name. Hope you and your mate got home ok and found hull easily going the way i sent you. Nice scenery and winding roads. Im looking forward to seeing your westy going with that lump in :? Its going to be insane :shock: But will be very intresting ...

Good luck in getting it back up and running soon.
She`ll be a beast. Looking forward to seeing it going.

Someones been busy Tony ! Have you won the lottery
Its looking good and keep up the entusiasum, Wish you could pass some on to me.

I would say they are cast too. When i phoned the guy who makes the omega pistons he said he couldnt sell me any but had to go through (John eales) I think it was. He buys the lot and he is the dealer for them. When i was picking the brain of mr omega i said i was wanting to buy some forged and he ke...
