It was a welcome return after just over a year !
The engine was perfect,really torquey on the tests no need to rev it too highly, it has 140bhp and 143 lbft of torque i can highly recommend Harris Performance Engines services
next on the list is a proper exhaust manifold & system.

Impressive figures Andy. I'm assuming that they built it to the standard H120 road spec' engine so as to meet with the rally class rules. An extra 32 horses is quite astonishing and you might be able to squeeze out a couple more yet from the exhaust mods.
Nice one!

This is beyond the standard H120 spec', this is more London/Sydney Hunter GLS spec'. Does this not mean that you will now have to compete in a more competitive class?

Been a bit busy over the last few months
I have got the engine refitted after having forged internals then had a bespoke full rally exhaust with big bore manifold skidded system and a re-packable back box
Had the limited slip diff rebuilt,lowered the rear suspension 1.5 inches, Then, had it set up on the rollers its now producing 120 bhp at the rear wheels
was running as course car on the St wilfrids classic rally last weekend and was really pleased with how different the car goes

Just to say; great performances & super photos. Well done Andy for campaigning a Fastback & showing how competitive it can be. What a pity Chrysler made no effort in respect of the 'Arrow' cars to carry on the tradition of the 'Audax' ones.
Be great to be able to use one of the pics for the cover of Cut & Thrust if that could be arranged; with maybe a little article to highlight your successes?
Cheers! G. |
