Fantabulous The rear wing is truly awesome. I love the roof line on these, it's just very right. |

Now that is how you a mega hard Sprint. I noticed on the TDC forum a few people doubted whether you could get that sort of power out of a Sprint engine . |

That's pretty f*cking aggressive. Love the fact that not only is it still competing but actually beating much newer machinery. And anyone that doesn't find a glowing manifold very cool is a little bit dead inside.

I was in touc with this guy a while back - he has the engine canted back towards vetical a fair bit to accomodate the tubular manifold.... he was a really nice and genuine fella....
My first car was a Dolomite Sprint - and this is the main reason why!

I may have neglected to mention (ok, I forgot), apparently the head has been modified to take another cam. Mental.

What, so it's a triple-cam? How does that work?

Sprints are a single cam 16v with a rocker system.  |
