I've been on here a few years now but don't remember reading about this being done.
Did I miss it?
If it's never been done,why not?

Lol! Judging by the failure rate of some of his race engines that are out there, he may as well not bother tbh!!
Ducks arse. He's looking up it. Quack quack!
Yeah I spent A LOT of money getting my 197 ITB'd with a custom kit, race cams, VVT delete and high comp forged pistons. It dyno'd 230bhp...
Problem is the trumpets have to be VERY short because there's such limited space in the bay of the 197 and unlike the mk2s the slam panel is integral to the front structure of the car so cannot be removed or cut up. When I was working with TDF on the build we planned to custom make a new front cross member out of bracing to accommodate longer trumpet but alas they knocked road car work on the head before it took off.
Car was still a beast though, revving it upto 8,500rpm hearing those trumpets sing was a pleasure...

Sold it to some posh chap who wanted to replace his GT3 RS with something more sensible. Still speak to him occassionally, by all accounts he does a Spa trip a year in it and that's about all the use it gets although I'm trying to arrange a trackday with him so I can see the old girl in action again.

that looks cool, with the NOS lines...trumpets are indeed very short.
