... there is only one advice i can give you guys; take the lap with Sabine at the end of your stay, or else you might think you could do that too and really hurt yourself :cry: .

Nice car.

Were the first three photos taken in Laerdal tunnel?

I've seen a video clip of a fantastic sounding GTV6 that was taken there. Was that your car? If so, would you like to share the video with us?

I don't like to be too pedantic, but Alex managed to find 228 BHP at the wheels:

Re: VALVE GUIDES

I will look for the bilsteins in Spain. Any specific model? E. B. Spares sell specially valved Bilsteins to use with the Harvey Bailey kit. The RS Racing kit is an alternative to the Harvey Bailey kit. It's available with different settings depending on the application (i.e. fast road/track etc.). ...

The MO design varies slightly with offset etc. The "flowery" set might be Compomotive RLs (see www.compomotive.co.uk under "road wheels") .

The H-B kit comprises of two rear springs and the thicker front anti-roll bar.
I have one on my 75 and don't find the ride harsh or uncomfortable. In fact, as the car doesn't wallow like it did on the original suspension, I'd say that it's an improvement.

Yes. I don't know much of it's history, other than it was it was first registered here in 1989, but I have reason to believe that it was imported from Greece.
It suited me as it had already been started (and abandoned) as a track car project with repaired bodywork and a roll cage already fitted.

Alex thought that they might be able to sort out some lumpiness and drive-line shunt at low revs by some tweaks to the fuel map. They made some improvement but I've been advised that any more will compromise the top-end performance. So, I'll live with it :D

Had some tweaks done on the car at the weekend and was really pleased to meet Glenwood & Gotech gurus, Dawie and Domingo. We've been hearing a lot about these guys recently on the forum and I thought you might like to put faces to the names.
