Paul, you Porsche whore! That is just a lovely bit of kit there!

I knew that your garage could accommodate a few more cars but soon you'd be looking at getting some ramps a la Monsieur Donkin yourself?!

By the way, did it cross your mind to, erm, bolt that ST engine into the 2.4S for a bit of running in

?

Awesome pictures- many thanks for that.

Bert

Thanks Bert, I'm far too busy myself, would you be prepared to help out with the running in chores? Or might it be a little too powerful for your modest driving skills.

Who did the lightweight "tinwork" for you - it really looks good

Cheers

Not sure who, but he's probably called Nick.
Nick Moss is building the car, Nick the Chisel is crafting the bodywork and this engine is being put together by Nick Fulljames.
Nick, Nick & Nick.
Anyone else called Nick is welcome to join the project.

Talk to Mr Moss for the lightweight amber 'tin ware' shrouds, I think he has a few in stock.

Paul,

Especially for you I called my secretary for a gap in my diary. Sadly I will have to pass in this instance.

As someone who never breaks gearboxes but prefers to blow engines instead, I think this particular puppy might have to do with your special beading-in skills

Paul, that engine is amazing. I love the look of the PMOs and the GRP tinware so much.

Hi Martin, yes, i got an e-mail from Ian Crammond to say we had won the beginners award. Average age on our table was about 102, so we cut while the going was good!
Hope to dig out a few photos of the rally and post them here, i see some good ones of the JPS Special on the official site. That Suzuki was the car of the rally for us, good to meet you guys, we had a lot of fun participating in the event

Thanks Jamie. It's magnesium cases (7R's), 93mm pistons and barrels meaning 2.9 litres, PMO carbs (46's), GE60 cams. So with a higher compression ratio and twin-plugged it should make, what? 250bhp? That'd be nice.

Paul

I could change my name to Nick and offer to be the official 'engine tester' as a bit more power following my Donington track day would be ideal for the pre-73 Silverstone day

And then I woke up......

Great looking engine and spec. though - cannot wait to see this one in the flesh.

Thanks for the offer Ian. The only person I wouldn't trust with my engine would be Helen.

You can never have enough photos

I think Paul covered almost everything, but here's a few more.

Excellent. We certainly didn't think we'd finish quite as high as we did, or win our class, so it was all a bit of a bonus for us! What site are you looking at? I can't see any pics on www.three-castles.co.uk...
