Default Re: What's your new sportscar?

Well it maybe not be exactly new but it sure feels like new. I increased the horse power over 50%, upgraded the top end performance and handling. Sure feels like a new car.

I did this by adding a SLK supercharger, upgraded 4.55 rear differential gears, BMW style rack and pinion steering and rebuilt the front end bushings. While I was in there I redid the head and rocker assembly to include larger breathing valves, new bronze guides, new springs, unleaded seats, and changed the compression from 7.5 to 8.3 and rebuilt the rockers to new status. New push rods and tappets.

This winter I will be adding disk brakes to go alone with the increase in "go"".
