Yeh, hopefully I am able to break into the 11s by/at the shootout. Be a nice little iceing on the cake. Even though I never thought I would be aiming for 11s with this combo, especially seeing as it was only running 12.9s last time out before these last few modifications. I tell you what, many...

That would be great to see all the DOHC brothers out in full force, and needless to say a hell of alot of fun too! As we have discussed, it is only a matter of time before we start seeing more of these kind of engines, getting out there and putting down the power. Definitely agreed there, you...

Definitely all well deserved attention too. It is a credit to you guys, getting out there, doing something different and proving a few people wrong along the way. Would be great for you guys to make the trip up here. Would love seeing the Capri running in the flesh, not to mention the FoPar...

Haha, job well done. It will be good to see the feature, should definitely get a few more people talking. Yeh, be good to see him get up the list a bit further, show all those big cubers how it's done. So I take it that you guys won't be making the trek up this way for the shootout on the 12th?

Photos turned out great! That's a new desktop wallpaper right there, haha. Any indication as to how long before his feature hits the shelves? Can't wait to see the numbers from the latest changes. Bring on those 7s!!! It's about time he got back into the APSA Top 10 again!

They are -20AN fittings & hoses, which is around 1 1/8in ID hose I believe. Not the cheapest stuff to buy, but the end finish and safer leak free result I think is well worth it.

Thanks again. The alloy pipe come with the throttle body setup which I brought from a member off of this forum. We just polished and modified it to suit my setup.

Haha thanks, well I am proud to own one of his engines. :D The 3 speed auto works like a dream, revs a lil bit cruising along the highway, but it got driven to the dyno tuner the other week which is well over an hour drive both ways, without a problem at all.

Thanks for the kind comments guys, I'm very happy with the finished product. Reason for the change to the automatic is because I will be competitively drag racing the car. After having already destroyed a manual first pass out when the supercharger was newly installed, I opted for the more...

Latest Modifications Well guys, it has been a while since my last updates due to other changes and distractions but the latest lot of modifications have finally been completed and the car was dyno tuned a couple of weeks ago. Since the last time it has been on the dyno there has been a few...

Yeh it has worked well for us. Has run a best so far of 9.05 @ 148 with a few descent wheelstands along the way, haha. It's just running the typical setup, 393ci, alloy heads, methanol, mech injection and so on. Would be good to see how your brother's setup would go in a lighter chassis car.

Definitely agreed! Quite a fan of both your cars, the attention to detail, etc gone into the FoPar build is just amazing. And as for the Capri, well being a Ford man at heart and with the love for the 1UZ, it ticks all the right boxes. Certainly helps having a soft spot for the Capri's, we...

Quiet an awesome car this one. Read a post by the owner's brother on another forum I frequent that it really is a true street car... driven to and from every event and they are also hoping to break into the 7's soon!!! Amazing accomplishment for a street driven car, let alone our beloved 1UZ.

That's fine. Was just saying there is more to the story that's all. But yes, it is unfortunate we don't quite have it as good parts wise as the american V8s, etc. Thanks. I'm keen to see how well it works too. Unfortunately we won't be able to see the true gain power wise, as there has been a...

I take it that you are having issues with the belt rubbing against that right hand side plastic cam cover? At that stage in the pictures above, the plastic cover was simply heated and moulded in a bit to make enough clearance. Now with the intercooler install, we have machined the old...

Thanks again for the compliments. That's the way, it is always good to do something different. Plus the torsen has proven to be a pretty descent centre for myself thus far. Sounds like a pretty cool project you have happening there. Be sure to put some pics up on here too. As for the diff...

Yeh, thankfully not too high though, all still fits under the bonnet with no modifications. Yes it works just like the radiator for your engine, water is pumped through a heat exchanger at the front of the car which cools down the water passing through it then pumped back to the intercooler...

fastegg... Thanks. Yes, the main part of the intercooler is mounted beneath the supercharger. Probably a bit hard to see in the photos, but if you compare the pictures to the previous ones you should be able to see the difference. Price wise, I'm not really sure, I try not to think about...

Intercooler upgrade Well as some of you may have already read on here, I have purchased myself a Bullet intercooler which we are in the midst of installing at the moment so I thought I would give you guys a bit of a sneak peak at the progress and a few more details. Some of the parts being...

Glad to hear you were able to put it out before too much damage occured. Would've been quite disheartening to lose it all so soon. Was it just a leak that started it all?
