Here's a little teaser with what me and my mate has been up to. The latest thing to be fitted is the Irmscher power cap.
Just on the wireing up stage at the moment. A few more weeks before the engine gets started up. It's been over 3 years in the making, we're not rushing it to get it finished.

No recent ones of the car but here's a little idea on the things that he's brought back to looking better than new......


There are some pics in my Garage.

Why fit the Powercap??If the car is going back to standard looking,then surely fitting the SFI box will be more suitable??And it has a better desing.Powercaps are ghey.

Very, the SFi box is an inlet chamber and by making is smaller (i.e using a power cap) you loose torque
