I think of all the races I'd like to see and Le Mans is always
right there. Any of you rich people out there want to sponsor a
SOL trip to Le Mans?
TeriAnn and Roland both talked about the Ford GT40s and the
excitement they create. I must agree. At Watkins Glen this year
(at the SVRA vintage races) there were 3 or so GT40s, including
one in the "Gulf" blue/orange. Wow. As much as I love the sound
of my Europa, the thunder of big block Fords will grab you. But I
digress. LBC content...
-------- For the net wisdom:
I need to replace the valves/guides/seats in my Renault-Europa.
I've been told that I can put the bigger intake valve (from the S1
Europa) on my 1565cc S2 Europa. What should I expect (performance
wise) for this conversion? Any advice for or against? I already
have a 45DCOE9 Weber, Hermes headers, and glass-pack muffler. Cam
is stock. 10.25:1 77mm pistons. Car will be in full tune after
rebuild (I'm going to try out a ColorTune this time). Thanks,
