Neils Engine options

Postby greenwoo » Sun Aug 29, 2010 12:22 pm

We found an upgrade option for Neil whilst out and about yesterday - Neil, we taled with the owenr and he confirmed that at 49 bhp it should be atleast 30% more powerful than a crossflow. I know it might be a bit tight in your engine bay, but Chris reckons that with some brute force we can get it in there. Matt was talking about turboing it, but i'm not sure that would really be necessary?

I have been looking at these cars for some time now with an interest to buying one and joining you on runs out but i am a bit concerned as to what the electric motor strapped to the top does as it looks to be a starter motor or is it a hybrid that would of course be more powerful than a cross flow and would leave those cars behind.

I refuse to bite but may barnacles grow on your bottom like the hull of a 300 year old frigate.
