what was the 5 spoke rims he used to have on it?? bit of a long shot....
They should be about 35mm offset
Here's some pics from RTOC at the Pod 04
Its current state is covered in blankets in a garage! No my plan is to try and get her out this weekend and clean her up. Ive got a couple of bits to finish off on it as i went back to charge cooler but have fitted a twin cooler rad set up but only a few hours work. Ill get some pics up asap mate, plus im gonna try and get to some meets in her before she goes.
check out Ave and Stu Clarke in the background
Cool pics mate, still looks just the same really. Im sure all the chrome is gonna need a good clean once i open the bonnet! Ive got a chap who is gonna polish the devil strut brace up for me.

Mentioning Mickey T's & sorting his carb - That was my 1/4 mile downfall that year...
not sticking them on your car and blowing him away with your higher traps was your downfall
here's a tip, when you're trying to be quicker than someone else only discuss the things you know will make him slower - I've been experimenting with adding weight behind the front bumper to increase traction
nah u av just jizzed over the red paintwork
so what did he do why so many people hate him,even tho he has been off the scene for a long time,i remember wen i wanted another set up from him he vanished,and my old membership expired so dint no wat happened,i remember he told me he was racing go karts semi pro,i thought that was wat he went off to do,
just woundering if this thread is going to KICK off if someone says the wronge thing
id quite like to hear the background of his car ect
i talk in riddles somtimes and there is alway a youtube moment

yeah the manifold on that cost over £1000.
The shell was rotten to the core, he'd sprayed over all the rust. Mike forged the cheque, that Chris fella who owned the car, used to pay a bill on it. Insufficient evidence was produced and he got let off.
There were quite a few other problems with the engine, it blew up on the dyno or something like that, I can't remember all the details.
... Just a thought, maybe he left masking tape in the sump again
Basically, the link was titled www.hybridturbo.com, and it had Mike attempting to balance his shaft with a walk through guide...
I still remember posting that link
