I won't give out the overall figure but I came away with 25 BHP (flywheel) more than I went in with.


Hopefully there will be videos from front & rear.

Looking forward to the videos. I wanted to do this, but I was not confident that my diff was up to the job and that I would have time to do anything with it. So I took the cover off tonight and 7 teeth fell out!! :cry: :cry:

Mine are all great. 9 out of 10 on the Sprint's pinion are broken! I'm amazed that it was still driveable. Luckily I have spares of both 4.1 and 3.45. I may have found a 3.7 too. The rebuild begins...

Sorry Ronald, missed this. The new setup looks exactly the same as the old setup. :D


Just to reiterate. If anyone does have the day off on Monday, I have an empty passenger seat & would be glad to take you for a spin (pun intended). :lol: A small donation to the fuel fund is optional. :D

Here's some pics when I fitted the Megajolt...

Coil pack fixed to the bulkhead where the coil used to be & the EDIS system thingy fixed to the inner wing.

Or, if you'd prefer a more sedate trip - I need some ballast for the left-handers, too :mrgreen:

Can't speak for the others; but, me ?.... Yes. It's been over 18 months years since I drove the car 'in anger', and am a little apprehensive, and also rather excited at the same time.
Being nervous is a good thing - It keeps you alert and 'on your toes'.

I thought we were only getting three sessions for our money, the itinerary which landed today shows 3 x 20 minute sessions per hour, of which one per hour is 'ours'. Excellent; best get the jerry cans filled....
