very impressed with the high flow design of that EM, and the clearance it and the turbo has to the front of the car. A trial fit in a roundie would be very interesting


You're on!! :wink:

Two chances of the mani fitting in a morris. Even if it did the big fark off turbo hanging off the thing is another issue.

6 weeks eh, fantastic. I've been waiting a long time to drive one of these things....... :lol: Mine, Tony's, whatever.

I must say, I'm very impressed by the manifold.

Now I'm glad I'm going Leyland, almost bought a roundy! :shock:

I was tempted....hahahahah

Anyways, I really do like that exhaust manifold, it's different, and performance aside, when you open the bonnet, it'll be right there in your face, shiney and all.....mmmmmm... 8)

Hey Tricky i was pondering some time ago about these sort of brake discs, i have a similar style with the groves.... Now do you know or does anyone know which way the groves are meant to go? Like in the picture below, the groves are sorta against the drive? Do they do this to enhance braking by making it a rougher (if you like) surface or do they go the other way?

Interesting to note... I was watching some rediculous show on channel 9 on the weekend called "Test Drive". Apart from the appalling format of the the show they tested some late model falcadore. The showed a close up of the rotors and the grove was going in the opposite direction to the way its fitted to Tony's car. I'm not for a moment implying that the falcadore had it right , just that it might be worth looking into.

Correct way for the TAROX brakes:

Q. Which way should the grooves face on a grooved/grooved & drilled disc?
A: In the case of the G88 and Sport Japan discs the grooves should radiate outwards towards the rear of the car. A C83 disc should run in the opposite direction.
