It used to be rallicross car what came to 3rd place 10 years ago (2004) and has been stayed outsideand not used since that...never eaven turned the engine :|
After inspecting it on first few days I'm really pleased
Engine turns nicely....plugs were rusted and carbs didn't move at all but still.....full of hope

I changed starter and sinked carbs to diesel for 2 weeks....got shafts moving.....I put new plugs, gaskets to carbs, changed oil. and started the engine :D



It has F3 cam inside with bigger valves and some things more done. This engine was in "Vormel Estonia" once ( http://www.picsauto.com/images/estonia-21-06.jpg ) Builder of the engine beleved between 180 and 200 horse in it.....Usually they were near 180hp It has 4x disk brakes, uniball front axcel....double sideplate real axcel, Bilstein / Koni coilovers. Hydraulic handbrake and clutch

Unfortunately thats all I know about this car. Can anybody tell me how moch power it could make when I tell carb jet numbers?
