            Hi
            Is there somthing that attracts white cars together?? going from the replys there maybe
            The basic spec of the Cortina engine wise is, Rover V8 originally 3.5l bored and relined to 4.00, 11.5 cr Omega pistons, polished, ballanced, and lightened bottom end, Steel flywheel, Helix Clutch, all fixings top to bottom ARP studs and bolts, Tom Wilkenshaw GRP A mechanical cam, TVR race series heads and inlet manifolds, Jenvy/Luminition 45mm throttle bodies, Emerald M3dK ECU, Guesstimated 290/300 hp, 250ft/lbs If plans work out over the winter I will be testing out Dave Walkers rollers in the spring, Last rollers I tried I smoked the eddy brake , and was asked politly to leave , gearbox is at the moment is a supposedly bullit proof and rare Jaguar/SDI hibred, well its broke, and is due to be replaced over the winter with a Toyota Supra Box. Back axle is Toyota Celica Lsd with Moser shafts. Wheels are Compomotive MLs 6 n 8s with 225 50 15s on the rear.
            Lee the wheels are being offered up hopfully this weekend, but I dont think there is enough metal on the hub to safely machine off without cutting into the rear of the spokes
