the saleen is fine, if someone wants to give me the £500 i need for dyno time to map it then I'll gladly take it to the track... but until I can map it im afraid it's not going anywhere.. I'm not racing it on a base tune, that's just bonehead...

still... i dont mind taking a ribbing from you lot.... good job im not a sensitive type

bring on the summer I say !!

Fieldy · May 15, 2007, 04:45:07 AM

Need new drums now as well...

Drums are on the way and should be delivered Friday, thanks to http://www.waspspeedshop.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">WASP.

Pushing it a little close, with racing on the Saturday, but it should be fine.
Worst case I'll leave the old ones on and change them when I get back.

EDGE · May 15, 2007, 01:20:53 PM

how bad are they ?

Pod · May 15, 2007, 03:09:13 PM

Not really sure until I see a new one to compare it to.

EDGE · May 15, 2007, 03:24:49 PM

so they're just worn, not actually knackered or anything... ?

Pod · May 15, 2007, 04:16:42 PM

Yeah, just old and rusty (on the outside).
Plus one is silver and one is burnt yellow.

But you're thinking of buying Fin's Typhoon?

Hey, why fix one car when you can buy another one?

EDGE · May 17, 2007, 07:28:21 AM

the daily driver pot of money has nothing to do with the toy budget... they are completely seperate and there's no crossover... especially seeing as we've just bought a house, at london prices... i now have a new pot to consider.... not something i'd expect you to understand, especially living out there in the boondocks...

anyways, why im discussing this on here i dont know....

Blimey, it's been a while since I posted an update.
Mainly because I haven't done anything...

I've just started taking apart a perfectly working car in order to make it faster.

It's going to take a fair while to finish everything, but I'm taking pictures as I go along and will post them up soon.

Wouldn't it just be easier and cheaper in the long run to just put a bigger engine in

Pod · September 25, 2007, 05:05:43 PM

A bigger engine, like a 351, would work, but would need a lot of extra stuff to go with it. Not to mention stronger clutch, gearbox and rear end to cope with the extra torque.
So not cheaper, really.

I'm aiming to get another 50hp or so out of the goodies going on. Maybe more.

can you not get a stroked/bored 302 out to somewhere near 340something.... that'd be good all round power with the new heads/intake
