    GB Springs Parabolix

    Difference is unbelievible... ..Only thing is they are about 50% softer than standard springs, so it a bit of a door handle scraper around corners... But they are so active. I have also jacked it with extended shackles and fitted Pro comp +2's (on V8 jons reccomendation) absolutly amazing...

    Engine is bit of a bastard made up from an old TVR racing engine, based on 4.3 with really, really high comp ratio and skimmed 28cc heads to create high squish motor. I will post a few images of crank, rods and under side of pistons - balancing on them is unbeliveable, all rotatives on engine...

    Decked block is where you skim top of block, done for a couple of reasons, firstly remove scratches, or dings but as a consequence it means heads are closer to piston and therefore increases compression ratio. Couple of problems in doing this are - you go to far and you get pre-detonation...
