This little lot just arrived today ready for fitment next week by Paul @ 1320:

Gaskets
Oil Sump Baffle
RMW Head
440cc Injectors
ARP Head Stud Bolts

This should help give me an extra bit of punch for the GTT Castle Combe Challenge

I haven't over hyped anything, just excited at my new shiny bits and thought I'd share them.

Looking very good - the exhaust valves look huuuuge

!!

I assume you'll be dyno'ing the car pre & post head to check for gains?

MINI-Morgan · Mar 25th, 2008, 06:26 PM

Yeah not much room for more on the exhaust valves. Did you get import taxed?

Yup, yup. I did.

Early impressions are good. Only tested in Warsaw though - too much traffic to really say. But there seems to be clearly more urgency especially when pulling on 3rd and 4th. Better have both hands on the steering wheel and a solid grip!

Have to travel tomorrow again so no more testing until I am back on Sunday...

Now I just need a tune.

Paul Webster · Mar 25th, 2008, 09:12 PM

I bet the mechanic was so pleased that he got the job when he went for a test drive
