PETER THORBY should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Brakes

Well, that is how Frank set them up, and everyone queries that!!
the rears are 4 piston, i didn't say 2 piston?
i will try and get the cam specs for the 2.5 engine i run
pulls about 245 hp at 7200
do not go over 7200 as the 6 cylinder engines have an underlying harmonic problem, and are easily destroyed by breaking the cranks
the exhaust system is also critical. The original cast iron units are used with a 4 into two into one. you can lose a lot of horsepower by not replicating the set up.
i am racing this week end so i will try and post some photos for you
wheels are 16", tyres are Pirelli 600 x 225 x 16" 4 bolt
the 1986 cars had centre lock 16"
tissue paper gap between the wheels and the calipers
