Davey Bee Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Just dropped of my engine at QED and they have on display their new Millington alloy block. They say that the weight saving is in the order of 19kgs and as I'm about to fit an Elite box which is very light I'm thinking it would be such a benefit to save some more weight. The only problem is as always the price. However all I can think about is how much faster the car would be and how much better it would handle. QED are quoting a weight of 85kgs how does that compare with the K' and the Duratech.

EFA Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Old Alloy block was made by Jenvey. Sure its not a completely different product? IMO QED couldn't develop a photo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Bee Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 They state in their literature that Millington have helped them develop their alloy block. I can only assume that it is therefore the old block. If so, it's shame they couldn't keep the old price. 😬 TRY 5S Buzzin' Bee It's never too late for a happy childhood *cool* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
