The grey Charger is a 70 model. Its fitted with the 383 big block ( 6.3 ). Its intended to look like a 440 big block R/T ( road or track )
Cuda is a good replica but some give away signs - its based on a small block 318 240 HP 4BBL carb. The 72 AAR cuda was fitted with the 340 ( 5.6 ) six...
Nice motor
Be careful - clutches go for fun
Dont try any hard launches from a standing start and watch out for cut throat dealerships charging OTT prices for parts and labour
Pod ?? ;)
Im good at fitting big things in small spaces ;)
buggered if im paying the £3 pay and display !! - parked it as close as i could to the Beach cafe as i could whilst i munched on a chilli burger
Took you lads a while to shake the sand out of your undies
1 yellow - 1 silver and some creep in a 182 ;)
Bless all 3 of you taking turns to take pictures of each others cars on the beach - it was lovely.
Hope the wind didnt blow sand onto your shiny paintwork.
( i was sipping tea at the beach cafe taking a vid of you on my mobile :D )

I would have public sex with a goat to own this car
Theres always one ...........
Horses for courses my son - they were built for straight lining as ive said before - its one of there national sports - our motorsport events consist of bends and your "Twisties" - so we build cars that handle well. They build them to go fast in a straight line...
Thats a "67" 327 Small Block - not that quick
The biggest lump they ever put in the Nova was a 427 - That was in 69. The fastest version was the "Yenko" Nova. 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds. 1/4 mile in 13.2 seconds @ 103 mph. Mopar still left these for dust. Hot Rodders used to fit the big block...
Motorhomes are cool - ive bought and sold quite a few and if the conversion is done proper you can make an easy living out of it.
If your doing West Wales go to Black Rock beach Porthmadog - its ace.
Heres a Yank Tank doing a 7.26 round the Nurburgring.

Out of the top 10 fastest cars round the ring 2 are Yanks ( ACR SRT 10 ) so when they put there mind to it they can make em move........
Ive said it before on this topic - Horses for...
The Yanks were pushing out 11 second cars through the showroom doors to Joe public back in the 60's ( Plymouth Belvedere 426 Hemi ) whilst Japan was still cooling down from Captain Tibbets visit.
The odd jap car can run a 9 or even an 8 sec quarter but you never see a 2.6 Skyline lump in a...
I would personally try and get hold of a 480 Turbo bottom end ( F*N Renault 1721cc based ) with flywheel and clutch that has come off a 5 speed manual car - im pretty sure the crankshaft is different on the Auto version. This will also solve your TDC sensor issue. The 480 turbo uses the M59...
Very little needed for 200 BHP on the A3 1.8T's
Remove cat and weld into place a straight through pipe. Then send ECU to ...

This will add about 45 - 50 hp on the standard engine. The decat about 5 - 10hp.
Driven an Audi a3 with these...
Save for a 1.8T - dont bother with cams and filters and other b0ll0cks like that as once there all fitted and you get a 14.5 you will then want a 13.5, so eventually you will end up fitting a 1.8Turbo. Richard at Venom fitted one in his lupo - about 275 bhp could be had for less than £3k
Ive got the car on video racing my 1.2 sleeper - Nicks was fast but i handed him his arse at York that cold Sunday afternoon in April .......i think a few standard 172's were snapping at his heals to
