    The plans have changed for it now, widebody rear wings are on and the conversion will be finished when I get around to replacing one of the rear doors and both front wings.

    I've since replaced the 33 P4 steering wheel with a Momo Zagato (same as the SZ and TiZ) and have another set of wheels to fit, like the OZ Zagatos (same as TiZ wheels)...but not sure I can make them work yet!

    Not sure about the inlet cam, it's reduced power/response below 3k revs but I'm not passing full judgement until the mapping is configured to include them.

    One thing I might do is lose the stainless manifold, apparently they have worse flow than the OE cast iron versions!!!

    Where did you hear that nugget of info, and is it restricted to one particular type of tubular manifold?

    It only refers to the Chinese made manifolds sold a couple of years ago, "designed" by a chap in the UK.

    The tests were reportedly done by Guy Croft but I haven't seen the report myself, think I read about it on here though...

    The GC designed and produced manifold is £2000:

    Note the comment about the "other" manifolds.

    I wonder why it isn't ceramic coated to help with heat control?

    I'd be really interested to see a comparison between all the 'major' Lampredi tuners favorite manifolds.

    nice to see the engine in that GC post running a Kappa inlet manifold too.

    Update...

    Bought some of these, been looking for a set for two years! Oz Zagatos...


    The Oz Zagatos don't fit with 166 Brembos, by this much, when they're spaced to clear the caliper...


    So, the Brembos have gone, to be replaced with Wilwoods. There's only 40mm of clearance with these wheels so I've stuck the standard 5mm spacer on the front, 45mm should be enough. In this picture the rears are without spacers:


    This one has 15mm spacers to the rear, still 5mm to the front:


    Better perspectives:

    Whats that hanging down infront of the oil cooler duct?

    Oh and those oil cooler pipes look a little crunchy!

    As Brul says, HID unit...they make a huge difference

    Yes, the pipes are FUBAR, but I also noticed the bumper hanger is a bit squiffy too!

    Thats as it should be. Cars are meant to be driven not polished.

    Sadly it doesn't get driven as often as it should either!

    Currently on SORN (off the road) and being treated to some new bits to get it through the MOT....drop links, wishbones, CV boot, front wings, replacement brakes etc

    Yeah well I should have said they need to be driven/worked on rather than polished (Especially red ones, too much polishing leaves them pink)

    What Wilwood model is? With these calipers you can install the Speedline original wheels?
