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/)

And in with the new 😀 It's the first time I have used this place but they do excellent work! And for just £375 too.

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.

I don't. And I is disappointed coz even though I have seen Cedric, in the flesh in a unit, outside pics with the wheels is a must.

They load at my end.... Try a different browser/device?

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 GPS  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 do  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.

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...

No it's the same dog, it just came out like that.
