BTW

I have a nice 200 plus k sitting here that once it has it's 1900 block conversion and is stuck in the back of an S1 will give Graeme a good run for his tyres ;)

:lol: We have decided to fix what we have unless its completely gubbed and then perhaps we may look at different options.

Cheers for your input fellas! :thumbsup

Just the job for when we've completely destroyed the current engine (and Ed has learned how to drive the doors off 150bhp). ;)


No reason why the shed can't be entered as is... Sure, it will be well outgunned by Graemes Exige but that's not really the point and it's easier to learn the tracks with 150 rather than 200+bhp. Even money if is rains... :D

I'm 100% sure the shed would be quicker than my old S2 111S. Lighter, better power/weight ratio, shorter gearing and better tyres (vs Toyo T1R's). Might not make it to and from all the events with the same reliability but at least spared the quizzical looks from MMC when the ECU reads 279 standing starts since the last service... :oops:
