My car in PPC magazine!

[BB-Q]

My subcription copy of Practical Performance Car magazine arrived today. At home on my lunch break from work I'm idly flicking through the mag and guess what I found?

I feel like a man who's been run over by a steam train- chuffed to bits! :-P

[WheyDey]

the editorial's not exactly accurate, but most people don't have a clue..............

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

nothin wrong with a mitsu turbo:grrr:

Don't worry about the editorial accuracy, it often sucks, unless you practically write the article for them.

But nicely done, allways nice to see something of your own in print thats read by the masses.

[BB-Q]

I did write the article, but they just took snippets from it, hence why it's a bit off.

[Crazychopstick]

Practical Performance Car?

That sounds like my kind of magazine.

It's an HKS SSQV ebay special knock-off.
Worked ok-ish with LH2.4 (although the genuine ones work just fine) and will be just fine with MS (in progress).

[amargill19?]

congrats, that must make you feel pretty special.

It's a Collins Performance -31. No problems at all with it. I've had it running @20psi no bother. No experience with the Forge one.

sweet!

Kenny, could you be so kind as to point me towards a copy of your best dyno run and the full spec at the time. My local race engine shop is very interested in what these engines can do. They've offered to send cams to Kent Cams to regrind them to their own solid lifter semi race spec for £50 per cam!!!
I'd like to give them something to show what good power the 16v engines make with standard cams as I don't think they really believe me.

Excellent mate!!! Awesome car, and nice one in getting it featured ;)

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

step one: find speed shop
step two: get laughed at by denizens of speed shop
step three: smoke their project car
step four: get sponsored:-D

I suppose numbers on paper will do just as well until you've got a 16valve running to smoke someone with;-)

[Morley]

Well done Mark, you deserve it!

[JW240]

nice!

[Hank Scorpio]

the editorial's not exactly accurate, but most people don't have a clue..............

You're becoming very random lately David.

[Dr Dokeh]

Old age does that.....







ZING! :rofl:

[volvorsport]

well i thought you wanted a 16v dyno plot - if you look in the videos - one of the shots has the 'engine' dyno figures right at the end

oh , and its more to do with the xmas do !!!

[MikeHardy]

i think he may be showing you the benefits of 16V

but anyway, got it myself last night. good pic.

[Poik]

Nice job getting the article, that must feel pretty cool :)
