SAUers,

Found this old mag (Wheels, July 1990) whilst cleaning out the home office. I scanned it thinking some of you may be interested.

The article cites 576bhp @1.8Bar, driving 1325kg car. That was 15 years ago...

Elsewhere in the mag there is an article on the 'new' 5.0L Ford HO motor. "Ford's brawny V8 is back with a vengeance" and 165kW. :P

PS I've got it in a larger .pdf that's around 1.8Mb, if it's hard to read or for bigger pics.

PPS Check the filename for the page order, the comp has loaded them back to front.

Sent to all above addresses and PM's.

Guerilla: It's no trouble - for what I've taken out of SAU, it's the least I can do.

Intensevil: Thanks dude. If you PM me the link I'll edit the first post to make it easier for everyone else and save the wait. Cheers

Mark

    • I'm guessing you mean something like this size? https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/bodyworx-bodyworx-hard-soft-sanding-block---70-x-135mm/594184.html?cgid=SCA01100303#srsltid=AfmBOoq_qZTEe3boann9BaHiB2f59dxJlosWLzCr0zm_weHgUlDX-N5f&start=6 Are they sanded completely flat?
    • Just a standard sanding block size. With the rock chipa they are quite small. I sanded them as you could feel the edges. 
    • Say you've just laid all your filler and your about to start sanding, how large is the sanding block your using?  Like a high fill primer? Technically possible but would be a nightmare. Just guessing from the photo, but they look small enough that you might get away with using a 1k spot putty. Normally you'd use something like this on pinholes but with the type of project you're working on I'd give it a go. 
    • Omg Brake pedal removal.. FML!!
    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.
