Mechanical
The car has incredible power, starts instantly, and pulls hard through the gears. The engine has been completely rebuilt and fitted with all new accessories. This should provide decades of reliable power, and plenty of fun along the way.
The block was bored 30 over and then fitted with new Maxsil Piano Top pistons and a fully rebuilt e12 head. The engine also received a new oil pump, chain, tensioner, rail, head bolts, etc.
Then a rebuilt Weber 40/40 downdraft carburetor and a Tii exhaust manifold were added to take advantage of the higher compression and great flowing design of this combination. The Weber breathes through an ITG filter and is fed through a new Euro six cylinder Fuel Pump which provides the perfect flow to the largest of the down drafts.
The valve cover, intake manifold, and water inlet manifold have all been polished to a mirror like finish, and the engine bay has been fully detailed and includes so many new parts it's hard to remember them all, but here are a few:
The ignition system features a mechanical advance 002 distributor with a new Pertronix electronic ignition, a new Bosch Blue Coil, and new 8mm silicone leads.
The cooling system is also new, with a re-cored radiator, new waterpump, thermostat, and all new hoses and all new hose clamps.
The electrical system features a new alternator, new voltage regulator, new battery and new battery cables.
The suspension has upgraded with Tii Front Struts along with Bilstien Sport inserts and matching Bilstein Sport rear shocks. To keep it dead flat, the sway bars have been upgraded to massive 24mm front sway bar, and an adjustable rear 19mm sway bar with poly bushings front and rear, along with new strut mounts and camber plates.
The brake system features a new Tii master cylinder to feed correct fluid levels to the Tii front brake calipers, and it has been fitted with all new brake hoses front and rear, as well as new brake lines from the reservoir to the master cylinder.
The clutch is new and the transmission still remains easy to power through all four gears (no grinding synchro's here). Even the pedal box has been rebuilt with all new bushings, springs, and pads. And the engine sounds great rumbling through the twin pipe ANSA exhaust.
The Turbo Flares are nicely filled with vintage Enkei three piece wheels, with new 205/50/15 tires, for more trouble free miles.
