I'm no doubt being stupid here, but humour please...

Whats a "JE 5.0L Tuscan Challenge engine"? Is that the engine the Tuscans ran before the AJP arrived or is it a 5L AJP (like BossCerbera has)?

Full spec 4.5L Tuscan Challenge race engine (and box) up'd to 5.0L using steel crank, forged pistons and H-rods (along with full rebuild-new everything), by John Eales (Top Engine builder).


One of the engines that got away when the challenge moved to the new AJP engine.

Just glad that it's successfully mobile again Andy. Yep, definately need some footage of this one as you've teased us all for so long with its progress.

I did a 0-3 in 60 secs once: my daughter used an hour glass.

Well done Andy!

I might have to keep a good look out in my rear view miror, just incase i need the Nos! Lol.

I think you and i should meet up at the Pod or something what do you think? Clash of the Titans and all that!

Cant remember what your tyres are but try 'Dunlop Formula R 01' they are awsome. Run them at 16psi for drag but deflate only when cold and dont over do it or they distort. Still spins if you dont progressively deliver but does improve grip a treat!

By the way what Gbox is it - T5 with straight cut 5th, or Girtrag, etc?

So.... i throw down the gauntlet, do you feel lucky punk?
