    The L28e and especially the L28et are heavier. Not nearly as good looking. Visually its a pretty boring engine haha But it performs very well in the car on the road and on the track. It revs super fast to 6500RPM and sounds pretty good threw 2.5in/64mm exhaust and a Borla

    Absolutely I was so sick of doing body work and paint on the car at the time, I needed a fun project. A lot of my past builds I usually do some art on or under the bonnet. Its all hand done with spray paint, paint pens and finished off with 2k automotive clear.

    SU carbs WILL work perfectly on my modified L28 and give DCOEs a run for their money!!!
