You will be glad to no i think i have nocked them off by a second. I am waiting for the times to come up on the website.
And there has been small talk about a sertain engine (wink wink nudge nudge)

Quote:I suspect that the head you refer to is only a part of the story.That head by itself is the yin without the yang, & thats no good.
Much better to use the yin with the yang attached [wink] if you get my meaning, & that may yet come to pass, perhaps.

If you can knock of those Late' sipping, fancy pants Alfa's with a relatively modest A14 in a 'common' 1200, then I suspect that they ain't seen nothin' yet.
Good job & show 'em how it's done. You make us all proud.

I too have been looking for a gentle yin to calm my savage yang

well sounds similar to my prob. my mate is building/freshening up a VG valient with a Hemi 6 cylinder (probably to similar to the one running you down). auto and heavy weight. im ####ting myself cause ill nail him off the lights but yeah he'll nail me top end, and i dont wont him running me down. i told dad about my situation and he said we will work something out! i only have to beat him to 100km/h. cause tradition lasts, we have to have the quickest car in grd 12!

Coupe 1200
great time,s at the Island
2.00 has always been my goal
My best time was 2.10 running out of fuel at the start of the main straight
good luck for the future
Cheers Mark

I just got the head back today. Luckely only bent exhaust valves.
Still have to look at the bottom end. not looking foward to it.
