More photo's of the car in action

These were taken in 2003,
After the car had been fitted with a new progressive Nitrous Oxide System a heavy duty racing clutch and new LSD axle,
1/4 mile times are 14.4 at the moment but with HUGE amounts of wheel spin,
i'm still learning the setting up of the nitrous kit and how to achieve the best launch,
we are hoping to get a nice 13 sec run with the car,
Plans for the winter 2003:
Well the car is going in for some body work to get her back to original showroom condition during the winter months,
while that is being done i will be attacking the 3.9 v8 Rover engine with a few more modifications,
A pair of ported 4.6 Rover heads,
A set of Magnecor racing ignition leads,
A set of chrome moly plasma piston rings,
New Cam bearings,
New Big eng and Main bearings
And a cold air induction kit
