Whatever happened to that Green V8...?

SprintV8<br>
<br>
After much investigation, the axle is a shortened TR8 unit... I have a receipt for it being rebuilt with an LSD, but if it's still in the axle it certainly isn't limiting the slip properly!<br>
<br>
The brakes are... err... standard discs with green stuff pads. Now, I thought that they'd be flagrantly not up to the job, but I gave them a good spanking on the track and there was no fade, and the bite was surprising... <br>
<br>
Still, I've just bought a pair of twin-choke IDA downdraught webbers on a modified 4.6 injection manifold (pic to follow on my website) - once those are bolted on, it's not going anywhere until I've upgraded the brakes! (Any suggestions as to what to go for?)<br>

Sadly this means a bonnet bulge will be required <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rolleyes --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> but what can you do... Have found a suitably not-too-boy-racer one... There's a photo of it <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.m-99.co.uk/Car_Bodykits/Bonn ... vents.html" target="top">on this website</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> - it's the red one - KA110 - what do you guys think?<br>
<br>
Looking forward to summer cruising... <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

If you really need to suck air from on top and want to cut a hole in the bonnet I'd go for a shaker scoop...<br>

Like on this Yank Tank. It's attached to the engine and not the hood so it shakes when you rev it. Nice.
