Hi all... a little advise needed. I'm currently running 215bhp from the old girl and wanted to know thoughts on lightening the flywheel. Would it be required to dyno the engine out of the car and what bhp should I expect and the last one where can you buy them?

well.... after talking with Adrian.... looks like a few upgrades......Ap clutch is interesting but whats your thoughts on a Helix paddle clutch??? the car is for tarmac rallies.

Triple webers will probably go on too along with a gripper led diff.... any thoughts TVRm's?

I thought heavy diff would be a good thing to balance the weight out? What ratio would you use for the 4speed? Bearing in mind that I need torque as well as acceleration. Top end is not really an issue since it's closed rallies that I will be doing.... Love your M .....nice paint job....mine will be cream with stripes.

Hi

Well yes...... Totally understand your position.... The truth is I'm heading that way too. Because I want to end up at 800kgs if I can....so weight saving is an issue and cost for less weight costs money....hurts to say that but true.

Love your project would love to know more PM me if you want
