Number 4 is now just about back on the road... Trying to get the last gremlins out before a daring trip to Italy in only a few weeks. I'll get some pictures of the latest incarnation posted soon.
Currently:-
New 4.6 engine with Webber carb and evil curse, lightened flywheel, SS exhaust headers, mild spicy cam.
De Dion rear suspension with ATB diff 3.36:1, Sierra disks brakes.
Wilwood 4-Pot callipers on vented disks & 2.5 turn steering rack at the front.
Shiney new 17" UltraLite billet wheels.. a bit 'bling', but tyres are easier to get hold of. There's a lot more shiney metal on the new one. The 50's Flash Gordon style indicator/side lights on the front wings are growing on me!
I've been driving an mx5 for the last 12 months, so now the beast is back on the road, I have to admit it taking a while to get used to V8 power again!
cheers,
Dave.

Re: My V8 Rush
I must admit, it is a strange, but interesting, looking vehicule. What is with the wedge shaped roof anyway? It can't be for headroom, else you wouldn't be able to see out of the windscreen.BadgerV8 wrote:Good opertunity to say hello, I guess...

Home made hard top, hence the slightly odd appearance. A friend is rather skilled in the art of GRP and gave me a hand. Several years later, its shiney! (NEVER AGAIN!!) Not so shiney under a bush in the back garden at the moment.
Batman-esque looks were the plan... The spoiler was fitted afterwards, as it looked weird before from certain angles and even weirder from others!
Considering we made a female plug from a rough biro sketch and used that as the mould, it didn't turn out too bad!
