I don't understand why??? If the Engine has a Standard Slot Port for the Side Exhaust, what benefit would one get running a Round Port?
I could understand if the Engine has a Round Port on the Side.
I haven't seen anything that would be a direct fit, but with some ingenuity, one could Adapt a Rear Round Port to the Side, but the Header would probably require some Welding, grafting the Side Port pipe to the Rear Port Flange.

This is where the touring cars turn as they don't run the long track, therefore there is a lot of braking leading into the corner. Thats the only corner where hard braking is necessary and maybe a little difficult to control with a one-way. I will see if I can try a friends one-way this weekend, which he just bought.
As for the springs Brown (#ys-1750) front Grey (#ys-1755) rear.

I'm going to Adelaide for the Clipsal 500 in March so I will also call in to HH to buy some gear. High on my list is a new engine.
Re: Traction Roll
I read in a Mag that Chris T recomends putting the front shocks in the outside (higher) hole if it tends to traction roll.

Picco side ex. round port
Jaydee, yes the motor is a round port side ex. I know Baker ran this setup in Tx. and won. The graftin and welding seems like what I'll be doing, infact all I have left is the welding, just thought if there was a unit made it might be the way to go.
Mad Max yes the Picco is the one!

will have to try the different shock positions.
its good to know that you can make it traction roll, as i find it easier to loose traction than try to find it!
what sort of engine, a mate of mine has just started to bring in the collari engines

traction roll - yes, at the local track - push with stock setup, went to morebank and changed to 'sprint' 45/40's (one of the gandini 'brands') and traction roll city! through the inside hair pin 2 wheels nearly every time!
have since played more with suspension travel settings - i think it may have had too much!

contact - I dont mean Novarossi. Rossi is a different brand and I dont think there is any conection. sorry if I confused you.
im using FAST or BEST gandini's 40f and 42r i would still like a little more turn in.
another racer tried my car and said I had way to much steering for him but i've always liked to have alot of steering

Rossi focus on marine while Novarossi focus on land.

with names like novarossi and rossi they have to be related - or surely they would be going hammer and tong over naming right and infringements there of..
so are the land bassed rossi's the same as the novarossi's? (given the different heatsink colour?)
