It is a Quantum xtreme which I have had for around 3 years and it has had 2 previous owers. It was originally built by Quantum in around 2000 with a 2ltr pinto and then re-built by them in around 2009 ish by the last owner with a new Zetec 1.6 engine high lift cams with Jenvey thottles and Omex management system.
I have not been able to drive it too often over the past year or so due to hip problems (too much running in the past - new hip sorted this
. Now I am reasonable fit so am enjoying driving it again.During the last few years I have been also slowly re-building / replacing bits of the car I was not that happy with
- new clutch cam wheel to give better clutch bite (the original was very poor!)
- new master cylinder
- re-place rear brakes in full
- new procomp rear shocks
- fitted new primer pump, swirl pot replaced injection pump
- repainted rear suspension and replace the bolts (very poor original epoxy powder coating)
- re-built exhaust muffler so it can be repacked
I had a Dutton Phaeton many years ago that was so poorly made that I had to almost re-build as it. I thought buying a factor built car would have made for a more easy ownership but this has not been the case
I have some pics on Picasa however the share function seems to have stopped working. I will upload some pics when it is up and going again.
