eccsmk - 11/6/12 at 09:52 PM

after 3 years (and 1100 miles ) i finally decided to sell my indy
sad to see it go but on with the next project

Andy D - 12/6/12 at 07:59 AM

Will the next project ever set a wheel on a race track?

PAUL FISHER - 12/6/12 at 09:56 AM

And you never built the courage to get it on track then martin, we all want to know whats going to replace it,

well spotted Mr F.

Andy the engine is a 1.4 8 valve its just being freshened up a bit, there is a 1.6 16valve bing built too but its going to take a while as the bits are really expensive

I got a couple of mates that run this one in the local rallys. It's got 1.6 Bill Faulkner motor.. 200+bhp.

'course it'd go quicker with a big fat pinto in it!

C14SE is a great engine (I had 2 SRis - 2nd and 4th pics), which were great country laners, the other 2 were redtopped and just another world of fun.
PS. added a reply on PNG re the loom.
