have changed the inlet cam to a exhaust cam 2 let more fule in sound like its camed
Surely gaining more power isn't just a case of putting two exhaust cams on?

I'd take a total guess and say it would run like it was on 3 cylinders though?

white and 2.1?
question is, is it a real 2.1 (as close to as you can get) or has it had a sligh overbore and owner assumes its gone up 100cc which is the case for most people.

Does it exist? I think so. Whether the engines still in it I don't know. The shell wasn't anything "stripped" or hardcore, but still gave better times 8 years ago, than many XE corsa can today. Great car.

This was when Dave owned it but he did not build it, Roy from Arbroath built the car in his garage. One of the cars i was lucky enough to drive
