its not exactly a nissan so didnt think it was appropriate
 , although it is a nissan and engine and box.tyres are Kumho Ecsta V70A in soft compound. They are currently the softest road legal (List 1B) tyres on the market, so make them ideal for the sprints and hillclimb events i use the car for. Ive used Yoko 32Rs and Avon ACB10s but none are as soft and sticky as these, in fact 3 laps of castel combe and they are overheated  . They are actually their Formula 3 'wet' compound rubber but on a (ultra stiff) road carcass. Although i havent used them, the medum compound are supposed to be an awesome trackday/race tyre, in fact they are used as the control tyres in TVR, Porsche 924 and BMW circuit championships too. my car runs 7" fronts with 205/50-15 and 9" rears with 225/50-15.

ok manifold is 90% finished now, have just cleaned up ports with die grinder and tungsten carbide burrs (crap photo
 ) just needs the flanges surface grinding flat as they have warped during welding even though it was bolted to an old head. Was expecting it tho, thats why the flanges were cut 15mm thick to allow for skimming.

i built the first one (normally aspirated), then bought this one, but not in this spec. In fact the only bits that havent been modified or changed since ive owned it, is the diff and chassis, both of which are being rebuilt and modified before the start of the season lol  Martin yeah, its on the list of jobs to be done. i run 16psi at the mo, but will probably be running 18-20psi when its remapped. I do begrudge paying £400 for a fancy ally I/C that i know i will destroy next time i have an 'off' lol  The only thing between the I/C and the armco is 2.5mm plastic and fibreglass.i do fancy the ally iveco ones, as they look quite nice and should flow pretty well too. Whaddya reckon? any other choices?
