Update Replica GRP4 Oz

[Moose]

Well as we speak she's left home and is now residing in another garage

But only to have the engine/box installed and set up on the dyno

The engine builder has estimated 190BHP and I think he'll be about right as he's built and raced enough rally cars in his time.

Whilst she's away I'll be trial fitting 13" rims in the hope that I can get them over the caliper/disc setup as I really do not want to fit 15" rims.

HAPPY DAYS

Car should be back home next weekned for me to finish it off, after that it'll be off to be registered as a rally car as the cage has restricted me to competition use only (in all honesty thats what it's built for anyway, but would be nice if I had the ability to take it out now and again for a Sunday drive)

Build thread finished. Will still be adding bits as I'm sure we are never done. 13"rims should be with me in a few weeks time and interior will be subject to an ongoing upgrade to replicate the original (door cards etc). Thanks for all you comments and don't forget my door in Oz is always open if your ever in my neck of the woods :-)

Does driving it up and down the drive count as a shakedown :-), I'm away to europe tonight on business and trying to plan a shakedown/tuning day when I return to OZ (I've already noticed the clutch is dragging but not had time to work on it yet).

Hope so, had her out on Saturday for her first drive and all in all I'm happy with the result, engine needs to be run, then I'll be fitting double valve springs and sticking it on the dyno to see what she has to offer.
