I'd like to use this group's collective experience and opinions in order to get
some ideas on improving my '74 ex-Californian B. It's a good but not great car,
with double HIFs, although there is a bit of a flat spot between 3000 and 4000
rpm.
The improvements I'm looking for are in a) handling, or more precisely,
roadholding and b) power. My wife's priority is replacing the Rostyles with
wire
wheels, but I'll leave that for later.
What would the best (cost vs effectiveness) actions be to increase
performance? Please let me know via the group or mail me at
hert@worldaccess.nl. Thanks for your input.
We actually drove the (locally) famous Wilbert-rally in Holland last week, with
a
field of 30 cars including several E-types, Austin Healey, Lotus etc. At one
stage a wide river was crossed with these cars on one small ferry: a wonderful
sight! We won that rally, but from the mentioned competition you can guess it
wasn't a speed challenge.
