That bonnet is looking great Tilly, you must have alot of patience.
Does your air box incorporate a 2nd set of injectors like the later fireblades, have read that you need these in the correct position if you want to make maximum power. I bet the car will be very smooth with injection, perhaps a turbo might be on the cards after SVA.

P.S must pop and see you when I get time, went to leicester saturday morning to pick up my escort XR3i calipers from DPD depot, they look like they will fit fine just have the earlier spring clip on the front. £29 a pair on ebay think they're reconned the guy has 5 other pairs also look like new, rusty calipers are going in the bin.

Hi Chris,

I was thinking of a supercharger, but i want to get used to driving it N/A first, also i dont fancy making a new exhaust manifold to incorperate a turbo, + i think a supercharger is better in something this light, i dont fancy being half way round a corner then getting a shed load of turbo boost as it comes off LAG

Just drop me a mesage if you want to pop over

Tilly
