Pic showing ground clearance :


Origonally had this air filter setup:

Dont bother with this, even with the correct jetting all the top end power is lost. I have now gone to the airbox set up, from 8000 rpm the car now pulls like a train and sounds better too

Been playing with some 3M di noc as well, very expensive but the finish is excellent :

Next up is to get a decent exhaust manifold made as the primary lengths and bores are all wrong, then it should be making 150 bhp +.


If theres anything else you want to know, give me a shout

First thing - I love your car Looking great and must be fun to drive.

Your posts will be very helpful. I'll ask few questions, but in right time.
Now - I'm glad I took OEM airbox from previous engine owner Maybe I'll later build my own GRP airbox, but for now it's OK like that.
Bigger problem is exhaust manifold - I have OEM, but I don't think it's stainless - rather alu/titanium (knowledge from locostbuilders ) - so welding will be difficult.

I'm preparing my DIY sprocket adapter, so next thing is... propshaft.
Do you use TRT or standard prophaft ?
Unfortunately I'll use cheaper version so "standard" propshaft made from two Sierra propshafts... with hope for later upgrade and electric reverse (with laser cut reverse gear)

Thank you for help with my "strange" build (in poland BEC's aren't popular).
