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.

Dont suppose youve got a scap one? as I could seriously use the front axel so I can put disk brakes on the van.
Stoping is always a good option!

Re: Vauxhall Firenza in Radstock near Bath
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.
