Personally....I wouldnt bother, if this is for the std/warm build it will be total overkill.......unless you can also use these on the hot engine - but then I think that will be better with injection (if I remember what you want to do with it)

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. It'll look cool, but be a total waste of time for the build I'm aiming for. The hot engine will be blown and injected, so I probably wont benefit from ITB's then either.

And no, I'm not trying to be dirty. For once.

Got a nice one of these round the corner from me looks & sounds great, I've always liked them.

What do the weigh ?

volospian · 17-12-2010, 14:48

Just over a tonne, about 1100kg. Mine will have some heavier stuff inside (heated leather seats, a few more speakers and stuff) but will have the lighter VR8 engine, so it should still be somewhere around that weight. I'm aiming for around 200hp in this build.

Just picked up the Compressor. It's pretty big, lol. I'll take some pics when I've thawed out properly. It took 7.5 hours to get from Ashby to Thornbury and back, a trip that should have taken about 4 hours tops... 2 hours to get there, and 5.5 hours to get back

This is Always the way, You never see a certain car then somebody gets one & all the others pop up in front of you.
My mate Jim with the Recovery Car/Van hire business rang me yesterday, Guess what i got on the back Malc ? A Reliant Scimitar. (He always rings me when he has something different about)
Don't suppose you need another one but if you do shout me, Apparently it's a barn find so totally original but in need of a complete restore. Prob no good for you but i had to mention it.

volospian · 22-12-2010, 10:14

What model is it? Got any pics?

I don't think there's anything specific that I need, as mine is having an entire re-trim anyway, but you could always punt it on the Scimweb forums...

Anybody recommend any good solvent? I need something to help get the carpets and sound deadening material out. I can rip the most part out, but it's leaving the car with a straggly beard like a jihad bomber...
