  • 165 @ the wheels @ 6000rpm

    Just got back from boggys(last min .com)
    Did 165 at the wheels and he only took it to 6 grand!
    In fairness it is and old school set of rollers, but "young Dave Bogg" said," she's very powerful " and made me sit in the boot, still couldn't stop the wheels spinning(diff oil on tyres(long story)
    I'm expecting realistically 150 to 170 at the fly on the pre avo road, but it does produce great low down power/torque due to the boggs bicycle carbs, it already flew on track with 30 to 40 brake less! (fastest escort at curborough last year,2nd fastest of all) so will give bigger horse cars with webbers a scare on shorter tracks!(bit like last year lol)
    He only had to balance the carbs, thanks mainly to Dave The Smart Arse customs build set up! Everything else was spot on.
    The engine is running Daves old boggo bottom end as my new all singing all dancing 2.1 block looks like it has a crack in it, hence last minute .com!
    Cylinder head developments full race head, ivey valves daves old rl31 and spring seat modification h/h dissy, and zzr1100 bike carbs with 21/2" rally exhaust and manifold!
    I've fitted tension struts/roll bar with adjustable tca's (to be set for track use) and corsa power steering(although i've blown the control unit so will have to get my popeye arms out for the lakes!
    Thanks to Dave for all the engine work, told you it would come together in the end i've enjoyed every minute (wallet has gone into hiding though)
    and for the loan of the bottom end, he was determined i got to the lakes!
    Can't recommend him enough ask a few others on here (K.Winslet)
    Roll on croft/coombe/wetherby/pembrey/oulton/anglessey/curborough and of course the Lakes!
