    Great to see the progress :)

    Continued project race/ track car

    I *think* it was 450lb at the front and 500lb at the rear. Might sound odd, but the way the front is designed, there is a multiplication of the poundage (worked out by doing corner weighting so if you have not stripped your car and put poly carb windows in etc it will not apply). Cannot remember...

    P6 with differential lock ?

    Quaife will make you one. £££££ Classe Parts will upgrade the internals. Not as much but still a fair few ££££. There's quite a few posts on this on the forum including mine where I tried to drum up enough people to make the Quaife option more feasible.

    Any news? Or did you mean donor for parts?

    So a complete body swap?

    Government MOT exempt discussion forum

    If you read it all, it says that those power increases are exempt if it increases the efficiency. So if you can prove that a blown 4.6 is more efficient than burning fuel than the standard 3.5... :) (it was certainly more efficient than the 3.5 without the blower). Just a thought :)

    Was the manifold just of poor quality then? What has it got in it? Where are the fuel leaks? If you floor it, the 4 speed will not last any time at all if all is running correctly with the charger. Or maybe the diff, who knows which first. Glad the eyes are off. Standard lights back in...

    Continued project race/ track car

    Ah, look forward to seeing the progress :). I built the car before I sold it on and it had the top end changes (including the obvious - supercharger), respray, different seats and mirrors and possibly a few other bits and bobs :) This is the original thread on here: Rover P6 4.6 V8 Road/Race...

    My old P6 4.6 V8 (resprayed black and with a supercharger)

    Well spotted and that was the first thing I noticed. He has not changed it - was a typo! I am sure he will change it (I mentioned it to him, he didn't realise)...but might put a few people off if they do a search on the reg!

    Cilinder head

    To add, the only thing you might have to do for full effect is adjust the carbs because the SD1 heads flow better.

    Me too, but each to their own :) I'd buy it back in a shot if I could :/

    eBay - they are 50mm universal arch extensions. This seller, who I got them from has not got any listed but has sold them fairly recently: yj_jewelleries on eBay And if you don't like eBay these are the same people: Knight Racer - Bodykits, Carbon and Customising

    Thank you for the kind comments. I will be sticking around. Miss it already, massively. I may be pestering owners to let me have rides!

    Rover P6 4.6 V8 Road/Race car.

    Hello. The P6 is sadly sold but thankfully to a chap who seems to be enthusiastic about the P6 and the Rover V8 in general and is not afraid in the slightest of modifications. I have pointed him to this thread and he is gradually reading through. Thanks to everyone that has had discussions with...

    Alex calls time.

    Thanks for sharing the link. As I have said to others I really do not want to do this at all. And it will not get a fraction of what I have put into it. But we have had good times together and I hope that the next owner will, too.

    Rockers and rocker shafts

    Which rockers did you buy that were rubbish? I will avoid them!

    Rover P6 4.6 V8 Road/Race car.

    Thanks :) At one point I had a straight pipe an crikey that was loud but it was only ever going to be a bit of fun. Then added a silencer on each bank from a VW Polo - was OK but still a bit much. Now I have added another silencer from a Nissan (if I recall correctly) on each bank and that...

    Rover P6 4.6 V8 Road/Race car.

    You can get conversion kits and I am sure it has been done plenty of times but what makes me hold back is that the T5 is expensive for what you get - only rated at 300ft/lbs...that isn't enough - I have heard of a 'Z' T5 which is rated at 330ft/lbs which is a bit better but even so...you pay a...

    Another 4 speed is now in place. Not the best box I have come across! But ah well it will get me out of a rut for now :)

    What could be done for the sound

    Side exits. Decent speakers do it justice. I wouldn't suggest a silencer delete necessarily...perhaps go for a silencer of "straight through" design - so it will give a more sporty sound but not be brash. Change one out and see if you like the noise...change the second out if you want to go...

    Jolly

    If it's not leaking oil and it's burning it then first step is a compression test. I'd say it's rebuild time :/ Is it making decent oil pressure? I love your car I really do - would like to see it in the flesh at some point. I have to be honest - it's what I would dream to make my car look like...

    New stainless fitted to the V8

    I think it sounds lovely, if a little harsh at the moment. But from what I have seen (or rather, heard) is that harshness of the stainless steel goes after a while. What did you mean about the Y-piece? Are tubular manifolds coming next? :D

    New stainless fitted to the V8

    Very nice. Did they have much of a waiting list to get booked in? Was it a case of turn up and they give you some suggestions or was it more complicated than that?

    Quiafe LSD diff for P6 - is there enough demand?

    They replied - indeed it is.
