[ajp70]

I'm not fishing for comment but thought it may have been a little lost on a previous thread so I'm posting this for general interest, or general slating .
Sorry, I can't give a direct link to you tube but search:

It may help if you're marmite about it.

'Tis a fugly engine though isnt it....be honest compared tot he AJP or S6.

[flyingdutchie]

This is what I was asking for!

Neat solution for the airboxconnection. Awesome sound. Don't know what is meant by the engine looks presentation, but this one will give you sound, power and a no problem motoring experience!A pretty girl is nice, but if she falls a sleep every night at eight....

You could dress it up with enginecovers. There are enough of them on ebay. Even polished ones.


The exhaust headers seem to be the standard cast iron ones? Easy acces to the coil packs.

Steve Heath/Dave Wallis are doing my 6 litre conversion at the moment. After hearing that sound I cannot wait anymore. BTW I decided to go for the T5 reinforced. It will give me a peace of mind.

Hope you will not have problems getting through the MoT decatted.

Hmm.

An AJP can still sound sweet, I'm not convinced the LS is any better:

And I never really get it to full chat, and there's a lot of short shifting!

I'll have to have a dig and see if I can find some on 'song'.

Can I just say what a beautiful colour that car is

[flyingdutchie]

I really enjoyed the AJP also!And good news for the fans that Al Melling is reintroducing it. It will mean better spares availability again. Not sure his pricing strategy will work with those low volumes. But that's another dicussion.

Ok my LS will sound more quiet because I will have the cats on and the standard backbox of the Cerb.
You've got linked decat pipes and sportstailmufflers. Decat pipes are linked to function as a balancepipe?

This should test my bandwidth ! (I appologise for the fruitful language by the camera man at the end )

LS3 sounds nice enough, but it's not as raw as the Cerb (althoguh I do like the over run - not the same as a Cerbs crackles, but still nice)

Nice vids guys, always good to hear an engine on-song, AJP or not....

Olly - those videos look like the road to Rye from Camber direction, am I right? If it is, I've just spent the morning with the roof off enjoying the sunhine on the very same roads - great day for a spin,

Have to say I saw the car and a lovely instalation and did sound good, same colour or very close to mine but still think the look and sound of this is still better?? Although would like the extra HP! Great job though.

[ajp70]

It was good to see the posts with Cerb action or factual pics. Loved the two Cerbs giving it a blast and the hillclimb, great engines. Had my AJP for 2 1/2 years and loved the flat plane crank sound but as you know... Anyone got any more clips of their cars because they are good to see.

Is there an engine in there somewhere? Only joking I have a foot in both camps.

2 more pics for comparison.

^ Those are good pics. The ls could do with a pair of engine covers and yet the tiff is almost covered to the point where the engine's hardly visible.

[diycerb]

You can make LS installs look nice and neat, I've hidden all the pipes below the F1 plate, as per original AJP, using the original LS ignition coils meant Corvette beauty covers will fit. I might get them made in red Carbon though

[Boosted LS1]

^ I've got 2 pairs of those covers in stock, new. I have a set of black items and a set of red items They do look nicer then nothing at all.

diycerb - and how does it sound? Give us a sample.
under bonnet work looks prestine.

Now that is a neat installation.

Very nice But I'll keep my AJP, I have enough spares, in my garage and shed, to make 2 x 4.2s so I think I've covered most 'problems'.

Do you happen to know what capacity blower that is? It looks a lot longer than my M112 (112 ci). How much boost is it producing?
