Popular Post CarbonWest - Chris Broster - Bristol & Bath AO Posted July 4 Popular Post Share Posted July 4 Visited ProDev Engineering, Carmarthen to see the ex-OMEX Richard Wragg to see the finishing touches to my engine build and bring it home for installation. I can wholeheartedly recommend Richard as an engine builder who can build to his spec or adapt to a one off. As a note he supplies both Burton Power and MST with their Zetec and Duratec engines! From a 68K ex mondeo 2.0 Zetec oily lump to a rebuilt forged 8000 rpm 230 bhp zinger... just waiting on BGH uprated gearbox and its all systems go for install! 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sticker has been on my roll bar since joining last year. Sure others will tell you they’ve had theirs a lot longer than that! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually looking forward to seeing how it performs compared to my (what I assume is) standard T9. The 1st and 2nd gear ratios could be better although I'm not in the habit of doing 0 to 60s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset Posted July 11 Author Share Posted July 11 In this case I was the postie, picking up my silencer from a place called AtomFabs in Chard, Somerset. It had cracked welds on the bracket between pipe and silencer, and also where the pipe meets the silencer. It had also been repaired once previously. They quoted me £50, and ended up only charging me £30 and it was done very quickly between other jobs. Nice chaps to deal with too, recommended. Will refit it tonight ahead of Powderham tomorrow 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
