Your conduit as wrapped, labelled and will be posted tomorrow and your back wheels appear to be on the wrong sides.

franky - 7/2/10 at 06:37 PM

how heavy is the motor/box and what sort of power does it make?

prawnabie - 7/2/10 at 06:40 PM

I love it. I especially like your number plates.

Standard XJ40 Getrag 265

what sort of weight is it? Power? Must be a good easy six pot to get hold of?

Six pots are the way forward

speedyxjs - 8/2/10 at 09:52 AM

It weights about 250kg standard but i have taken the power steering pump off and the air con pump so mine now must be 220kg at most. It puts out 225hp but im planning to supercharge it after IVA (winter 2010 project).
