So today was a good Cedric day with a slight hiccup that means I am still in Birmingham not Goodwood and will be leaving at 04:00 to get there.

If you squint you can just see Cedric getting his new full manifold back exhaust system at MIJ Exhaust in Walsall (https://www.mijexhaust.com/)

The Z story Hako muffler I got would also have unfortunately prevented the spare wheel from fitting so we just have straight pipe at the rear.

In their home market Japanese estates were mostly sold as delivery vans, normally with a basic trim.

Lovely! Given that he has arrived with you via a greyhound rescue charity, would he be Sonic the PledgeDog? :-)

So Cedrics new Pirelli Cinturato CN36 in 205/70 R14 flavour are rated at 168MPH .

I think we need to start pushing that number, I believe he has at least 150MPH in him. The speedo reads to 200KPH(124MPH) and on a private test track I have reached an indicated 180KPH which is an actual 100MPH GPSย  verified speed.

I estimate he is currently putting out 150BHP at the crank. I reckon we want to be in the region of 300BHP. Now we could do this on NOS but I would rather doย  it on motor alone and have the NOS for the drag strip.

So I am leaning towards a fully built engine with the addition of a supercharger. Watch this space as always.

Sonic meets Cedric.

Did you decide on a different dog to the one you had showed us? I thought the one in the photos was a blue-grey colour, but this one enjoying lolling in Cedric is a rather glorious shade of chestnut...
