    Vauxhall Firenza in Radstock near Bath

    Spotted this yesterday, manky looking old M or P plate Firenza, in matt black, Triumph Herald trying valiantly to keep up with it up Radstock hill, until I could hear the sound of a dump valve and the Firenza just shot up the hill!!

    Didn't sound smooth enough to be a LET engine, but it bloody shifted well.

    Thanks any way. Youve got to try.
    No one ever wants to rip um apart. I know its a bit of a sacralige but when youve got more power from the engine due to a bigger carb k&n and a powerflow exhaust not to mention carrying half a tonne everyday you realy do need some decent stoppers and it sure as hell aint got anything near decent.
