Have you dynoed your car? what kind of numbers are you getting out of it?leeputmanjr wrote: Currently:

Looks like a 1" timing belt from Miller's Mule.
Re: Engine Bay Gallery! Please add your own!
The wider timing belt came from Csaba & Ramzi
I have not dyno'd the car (yet). I've got just over 3,000 miles on the new build, and I still need to degree the cams, put in the slightly larger chokes (going up to the recommended 34's from the current 32's), which will require a slight re-jetting & re-balancing. I also have a higher-power coil, and some new Magnacore wires to install.
In the meantime, it runs like a scalded cat! Mileage around town is only 16mpg or so, but out cruising it jumps up to 22mpg.
Very, very difficult to keep my foot out of it!

Just a little paint on the under-hood portion of the cowl and side seal areas.
Re: Engine Bay Gallery! Please add your own!
Look at this!!
It´s an Spain Club member´s car. Fiat 124 Abarth Gr IV, full rallye specs.
Dual Weber 50 mm, titanium rods, hi comp. pistons, and original Abarth 16 v head (almost impossible to find). This engine gives arround 190 hp!
The rest of the car is still better, with fibre hood and bonnet, aluminium doors, and independent rear suspension. Simply awesome!!

Here's mine. Not to bad, but could stand to have the radiator painted.

Corujoxx, can you resize those pictures smaller so we can see the entire engine bay? I think they are 48mm IDF's, unless they were bored out to 50mm.

Before & after pics.
Not as nice as others posted here, but I appreciate the aaahs and oohs it gets from the uninitiated.
