Great result and figures very similar to my car (322 & 319 at 1.4). Makes for a very nice combination of plenty of power when you need it, yet docile and relaxed to drive when not. Didn't see any it anywhere whether you have gone for a clutch upgrade? Mine is running a standard unit, but is very close to the limit and can be coaxed into slipage! Glad to see another wounded coupe revived and not scrapped/broken! Good work by all.

The sprinty is back and it feels grrrrrrrreat!!!!  Porkypaul - pm me your address mate!  Very Tidy Marco  Really happy with the new engine, 302 ft/lbs is a great result to see from one of my engines. Flea did say you can get another 5bhp if you'd been mapped on 99 fuel but these results on 97 are not to be sniffed at. Happy driving mate, we'll have a couple of beers at Spa and CHECK your oil  Even with my own issues yesterday it was still a great day, many thanks to Hovedan for the taxi rides and Coffee
