A bit late actually, as I already own the Dolomite for four years now.
Here's the list I already went through, in chronological order:
- Sprint wheels
- straight pipe exhaust with a rear silencer from Rimmer Bros
- replaced standard air filter with ram pipes and socks from Pipercross
- Superflex suspension bushes front and rear
- added a second hand OD
- 123 electronic ignition from Hebels (they built the 123 unit in the existing AC Delco D302 distributor)
- added Trackerjack vented brake set
- added oil pressure gauge (Smiths, same design as the other gauges)
- AVO ride/height adjustable shocks PF207 and PF208
- AVO 8" springs 400 lbs/inch front and 200 lbs/inch rear
- reconditioned 3-rail gearbox from Quiller Triumph
- replaced the OD with a reconditioned one from OD Spares
- reconditioned differential assembly from Rimmer Bros
Above a picture of last summer, driving during what seemed to be the hottest day of the year. Just waiting for some friends to arrive, nothing wrong with the car here (surprisingly the Dolomite only left me standing twice since I bought it).
During that same trip, while I normally really enjoy the sound during driving (removed the radio...) I found a constant 4500 rpm a bit deafening.
