Barry Ashcroft Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 so if i got a 1800 and add a set carbs with a bit more little tweeks i'd pull low 5's possibly late 4's Think you would need more than a few little tweeks to get under or near 5 IMO Be sceptical about bhp figures on V8's it pisses me off with an ad like big cam and a webber 220bhp b*****k* I knew what I spent and fitted to get 265bhp on my last car. So be warned. The car in the ad is it ford injecton or 40s or TB's I am in bristol might have seen the car but can't remember Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealMcNei11 Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 If you're already think of upgrading to a busa why not get a bec to start with? I got my megablade just over a week ago & I love it. Clutch is a bit tricky to get used to at first but well worth it. Sequential gearbox I'd never driven a westie before but glad I just went straight for it. If you're really hardcore I'm sure you could use it everyday, I did the school run today - kid loved it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Navin Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Had you had a look at Johnnys car ? The work on the engine should be of intrest to you but it remains an excelent road car as well. Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're really hardcore I'm sure you could use it everyday, I did the school run today - kid loved it Would agree if you want a Busa get one now. That way you won't lose money selling the Zetec/VX powered car to buy the Busa. Busa engine has quite a car engine like power delivery and the clutch can be made to work quite nicely. I went from a 5L TVR Chimaera to a Busa and I love the Busa. Had it for 3 years and I am turboing it this year. Bazzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
