The speedo goes up to 260KPH but it's a bit hard to see in this pic. It's got big and little characters on the face. I think that's probably plenty fast enough for me.

The seat is a no name brand fiberglass race seat I picked up on ebay. I bought a pair and I've cut one down into a low back already and will add a seperate head rest. Eventually this one will be cut down as well but I thougt it would be good to have a high back for the track.

The T56 fits in a treat in these cars. I reckon the only problem is they are very long @ nearly 900mm with the bell housing.

Ralph, your pipes look great. I'll have to look into the V band clamps. I've got a flange that unbolts a couple of inches inside the guard. It's a bit fiddly to unbolt the pipes here but the headers stay in place. I don't think I would get away with driving to the track even though it's only a couple of miles from my house.

Jess, I asked Jason about this a while back and he responded

Winton does have a limit, but I haven't seen it policed at any Shelby Fest.

The organisers do not impose any limit. That would go against all things 'Shelby'.


Cheers
