Why thank you sir. Yours is equally nice. Would be interesting to compare turbo power at some point. Love our project thread. Could also do with my injectors cleaning if you fancy it? :wink:
Yes definitely mate. If you all live in Essex i’d say Northampton/Milton Keynes is about half way between. I’m sure we could meet at a pub for lunch and photos and drives in each other’s cars etc.
Perfect car in the second best colour (I would also have red).
Absolutely love these. Sat in one at the Festival of Speed a few years ago and fell in love.
So I took the spacers off and tried the others but they looked absolute w**k so put the others back on. Decided to give it a clean and took some more photos:
Tucked back up in bed now until the roads get better.
Yes bud. It makes 235bhp and 227lbs ft and to be fair it is rapid as it is. Just be funny to have a switch that gave it another 40bhp if the mood took me. Probably asking for trouble though and I want to keep it reliable and considering it was a Mr Greer creation is hasn’t done too bad. :smile:
Thanks mate. Just some Wilwood 4 pots and a Quaife Diff now mate. Then it’s done and I can just enjoy driving it. I toyed with putting a stronger head gasket in and having a bit more boost to put it up to 270 ish bhp but to be honest it is fast enough for the chassis as it is now.
I would...
On day off today so thought i’d get her out the garage and take a few pics. I’m going to try my PMS 5mm spacers today to see the difference as the current 25mm ones are rubbing a little on lock. Does anyone know the smallest bolt to hub spacers you can get so i can keep my polarised bolts. I...
Yeah i’ve had them for ages and debated whether I should put them on or not. They look pretty good to be honest. Contrast nicely with the polarised bolts. I’ll put up a photo later in the week.
They’re shadow chrome with more silver added. They look silver in most lights mate. I’ve also added the speedline corse stickers in blue to them recently
Just a quick petrol station photo just before I got tannoyed to put my phone away :openmouth:
Car feels epic on the road. So planted with the ride as compliant as before. May need to drop the front spacers as they are rubbing a tad. Just need to see if TPI do longer polarised bolts. The 5mm...
No worries @Dr Jekyll I love RB’s and yours is by far the nicest I have seen. I’d love to you take some photos of my car at some point mate. :smile:
It will be arriving this afternoon. I live out in the country so Dean is going to take me out in it to show me what’s what round some country...
Thanks mate. Appreciate it. At least now I maybe able to have my own car as my wallpaper on my IPad rather than having yours on there constantly. Ha ha
Honestly i’m Like those kids in the Disney advert. Sooo excited!!!!
I also wanted to have the arches sprayed so got some mondial blue spray and lacquer and I think it has transformed the look. Plus got to love coilovers :smile:
So yesterday it went for 3D laser alignment. Went for 2 degrees of Negative camber at the front and 14 minutes of toe total. Here...
Update:
So it’s been around 6 months since I posted and in that time I have built up quite a collection of parts to go on the car. I wanted to completely overhaul the suspension. 2 reasons with the the first being i’m OCD and wanted it to look shiny fresh under there and secondly I wanted to...
The engine in the SV was the 32valve DOHC version of the 4.6. Unfortunately that engine wouldn’t fit in the ZT so they used the SOHC 4v one....well it would but you wouldn’t have any heating.
They make shite power as standard but can take big power once supercharged.
Prodrive started the development of the 260 alongside the supercharged version which would have been the 385. Apparently the management at Rover thought it best to outsource the work as if anything went wrong then they had someone to pin the blame on. For one reason or another it development...
