When I was away at the F1 GP I gave the car back to PR and the boys for a few mods to be done. Harrop brakes were fitted, a vast improvement over the original Corvette brakes. They do have an ear drum busting squeal when cold which hopefully will go away when they have done a few miles. If not I will try different friction pads.
A removable steering wheel was fitted which makes entry and exit a piece of cake.
A breather/catch tank was fitted to the right hand side of the motor, this gives me breathing from both banks.
I also had a thinner seat cushion made for the passenger seat which will enable taller passengers to ride without bumping their heads on the roof.
In the process of doing this Peter discovered a problem with the windscreen wiper motor, which he replaced at no cost to me. And the left hand rear wheel was slightly rubbing the inner guard on bumps, P.R. also had that fixed once again at no cost to me. Great after sales service.
We put the car back on the Dyno and found an extra 12.6 H.P. The car is now putting out 375.1 rear wheel H.P.
Question. What do you think that equates to at the flywheel? I'm guessing about 510 HP.
