[ToM 2012]

got a lovelly 2.0 redtop engine that would fit nicely??

[tom130691]

not looking to go down the redtop route,

now has the wheels on and i have a nova gte engine ill be running on twin webers, ill add some updated pics in a second

[tom130691]

much better quality pics

also gave it a clean to make it red again












everything was hunky dory the a classical bmw tried to run my of the road by overtaking in a stupid location resulting in this




so its currently more like this








engine parts collection is going well

i intend to convert to a lairy E16se (nova GTE) lump,

my reasoning is to be differnt to the norm and carbs are

the spec i intend to run should be somewere between 120-140bhp, but im not fussed how much im not chasing figures, im building a fun car not a straight line driver,

SPEC LIST

i already have
- e16se lump
- kent cam
- piper exhaust manifold
- vernier cam pully

need to get

- possibly a lightened fly if i can find one for the right price
- CARBS (either ninja bike carbs or twin webbers)
- nova 1.4 mechanical dizzy set up


this should be a "raw" engine with very little electronics
