Its Finally Done.....

hey adam, dont worry my acr ahs been mistaken for a triumph, so no skin of my nose.........

[Adam_RSX]

Yeah, they look reasonably similar

Ghostrider - I'm probably going to stick a PI donk in it soon, we've got a few spare, just cant be bothered changing the tank and fuel lines atm. I would just go for a TC or S engine for the extra torque over the 2 litre, but if I'm going to do it I want it to sound good... and sticking filters on each throttle on a PI engine and junking the standard plennum makes a fantastic noise, its rorty, growly and just generally fantastic. Plus we've got them down to a fine art now, basically never have problems because we get the guy in Sydney that tunes the mechanical injection metering units for the Forumla 5000 and Historic Touring car guys to do the units and send them back. Only problem is injector 5 sometimes getting an air lock, just leave the engine running, pop the bonnet, pull the injector out and tap it a few times with a spanner, then stick it back in

That said the FJ20E is appealing as it will rev a bit more, probably be lighter and will sit back a bit more

Edit - Oh, and as to where the engine came from, as far as I know its just an extended version of the Triumph / Standard 4 cylinder (which was a Massey Ferguson tractor engine) but with a narrower bore? Could have been the same as the Vanguard six?

It's no longer a classic to the purists, that's why I scrapped the RB plans for mine.

Tisk Tisk! As you rightly say,it's the owner/driver that has to be happy with it!

Say NO to peer pressure

wow, always good to see a classic given some love. Would have been tops with the original prince heart, but given the circumstances RB's good too.
