I've owned 108s, a 115 and a 123 with aftermarket (or add on) AC.
The 123 looked factory on first glance, but had an ugly wiring harness

IS that 500 hv horsepower or something else? If it is HP then that

It's a flying purple porsche eater. I believe hv and hp are
interchangeable, but I could be wrong. I do know that car should put
out somewhere between 400hp and 500hp in its current configuration.
It should also run high 13's in the 1/4 mile. He claims it still gets
mid 30's fuel economy too!
Now if Quaife would hurry up and make a proper diff for it (or maybe they
do and Quaife USA doesn't import it). They list diffs for MGBs, Volvo 240s,

I could have sworn that they were all alloys, and some were in the

it has survived thus far. Seriously, they don't blow rear ends like popcorn,

USUALLY the temp reads low with increased resistance in the circuit
UNLESS it's in the main battery to ground resistance and that increases

Did you fill the cooling system thru the top hose? If not, the added
heat MAY be from an air bubble in the cooling system.
Is there a source anywhere that shows the temp v. resistance curve for
