Yeah. Whilst mine was small it was pretty aggressive. 215/223 .604/.610 112+2

Yep probably NOT the best thing for a daily Driver  :XD:

I daily drove it No probs. The heavy clutch was the downside.

Was thinking more longevity, 50>100K Km’s and the springs wouldn’t be happy…

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Yeah would need it’s routine go over. I did 37k with it. Springs were good still. Lunati doubles.

Good move, I always run Duels “just in case”

Yeah that’s it. My 304 had singles and there was always that doubt if I broke a spring I’m dropping a valve. At least with doubles u have somewhat of a fail safe

I lost an outer in my old Turbo Supra about 80Km’s from home was able to limp it home on the inner with no additional damage..

Yeah that’s it mate. If it was a single it would of been catch ya valve, piston and bore. Lol

More than likely write the head off as well… (I had 7K+ just in the head alone on that engine)

Duels = cheap insurance  :XD:

Yep was a bit of a big budget I-6 build at the time, the 7M’s are a very unloved engine and I wanted to see what I could do with one, as usual got a bit carried away..

I assume that one didn’t try to kill you? (not successfully anyway)

Yeah actually it had a crack at it…. couple of weeks before I moved up here I was out doing a tune run, came back in at morning peak hour on the Ring road sitting on 100K on cruise control behind a cop car when a rear control arm broke…. a few 360’s through 3 lanes of traffic into the armco and that was the end of that one..

I guess 13 years above 400rwhp took it’s toll on that arm.

That looks pretty minor damage wise for the break & speed, you got off lucky

Mate, I am starting to rethink the wisdom of doing Collingrove with you in this

Only joking btw!!

Yeah the one before was MUCH worse…. walked away from this one without a scratch and managed to miss everyone else on my way through.. (there was a red scuff on the rear bumper so I clipped someone, they didn’t stop though)

I said at the time when you held your hand up for a ride that you were a brave man  :XD:
