Needs to be duplicated here of course as this is the main forum for the TBird as far as I am concerned lol.


Big bore before and after with dyno . The proof is not just in the seat of the pants it seems. I love reading what I struggled so long to describe for so long about the big bore kit . It shows Im not deluded or indeed mad . Well not much anyway.

FUEL CONSUMPTION 8.9 L/100 km; 32 mpg (9.9 L/100 km; 28 mpg)

These figures seems way off unless they have been on the throttle a hell of a lot or the 1700 becomes a very thirsty engne. My figures are around 5ltr/100k's. Actually those figures are almost the same as my Toyota 4WD.
