I dont have steel rods yet (whoever asked on the prev page)

ARP rod bolts were 70+
SBD 88mm pistons were 600+

You need a re-bore to fit them tho, std is 86mm

Cage - Its got a full weichers cage... and does seem to help it stay flat through corners

heads are fuckin expensive

I planned to go for solid lifters etc etc.... but i spent 1k as it was, still on hydraulic

When i go for steel rods.... solid lifters, 300+ cams, bronze guides, wasted valves etc will be shoved in.... 9k rpm

9K yummy my mate has a swindon developments head...the std port size is 58mm or something IIRC but the ports on this is more like 86mm valves are massive too ! i really want

my bottom end is completely new inc rods and arps so might as well do it all the way

might just save up and do the whole hog..can get steel rods with arps at the end of them for a good price

Thats all fine and dandy, but i cant see them giving it to you unless you pay

It's not quite up to the spec of Roy/luckyb's yet... he was runing lightweight slipper pistons, solid lifters, 300degree cams etc.... but its lighter

Dean - it was road legal when i blew it up at knockhill so i can get it taxed/tested etc... that reminds me, it actually has the wrong plate on it just now i moved AKZ onto it after selling the supra

next stop i think will be ditching the AVO coilovers bags of squeeky rattling wank, get some LEDA dampers fitted

then tidy the inside etc..

i'm thinking about bonnets just now... my mates s2k track car has given me an idea! Just angle grind the bonnet supports off
