i think i have seen that yellow porka before, does it have a V8 and nos bottles in the boot?

do you have thing for V8\'s, i know how you feel, i have a thing for turbo\'s, i got it so bad that i turbo charged my 1200cc motor bike, which subsequently spat me off!!

what sort of power figures do you hope get?

lol...the scoop has been made to get me on the road really and its facing that way so the air is not getting rammed in to the filter,as if tuned on the spot the mixture etc would be totally wrong when driving at 70 as the air is getting forced in so would make the car run lean...

I have to agree here, i hate the scoop, but if its needed, then so be it!

Wheels wise, i really do think some big fat centrelines would suit it now...with some high walled semi slicks on the rear!
The centrelines that are all metal but split in 2....like what the beetle hot rods use.

:cool

Pleased to see its on the road.....bags of torque i bet!

Dan!!

as you know dan it serves a purpose at present,when funds allow i will try and fit something a bit more rounded...considering what it was like when i bought it i think its turned out very nice...cheers...
