Superformance MKII, Riverside Racer 289 FIA vintage race car

[CompClassics]

EBC manufactures a few different compounds for the Girling calipers as well. I have used the “Yellow” pads with very good results on clients Cobras.

John,

Where have you purchased the EBC brake pads for the cobras from? I have found it difficult to find competition brake pads for the cobra. Thanks. One of these days I would like to make it out to the west coast for a vintage race and would like to stop by and visit. Let me know if you are ever on the east coast.

Time for a little update. Received a call today from Fitzgerald Automotive and the 289 FIA engine is just about completed. Darryl is doing the final fitting and plans on putting it on the engine stand Friday and if everything goes well the engine will be to the dyno on next Saturday (April 6) for some adjusting and on Sunday, April 7 I will join Darryl at the dyno and we will do a couple of pulls to further fine tune it (I will video these of course) and then the engine will be crated and placed in the back of my truck for the ride home.

Here are a couple of photos that Darryl sent me.



I can't wait hear it run and see the dyno results. I will fill you in on more information as I have it.

Received a short video from Fitzgerald Brothers, the engine is on the engine stand and running. Plan remains that Darryl will dyno tune it Saturday afternoon and I will go there Sunday morning, we will do a couple of pulls and then load the engine in my truck for the ride home. I am going to see if i can attach the short video.
