On that bit where you have to come off PPW to then go under and get back on so you can join the m60

Major FAIL - ooops!

LOL what a fool, bus 1 - biker 0

should have been a schhool bus for full on comedy effect, 30 scarred screaming children

Yeah and 1 normally quiet, sick individual sniggering whilst taking pics

got a few things done at the weekend, harnesses are all wired up and door cards all fitted.

removed the g60 brakes and packaged them all up and put my 239mm setup back on, only to then win a 270mm tsr conversion on ebay so they will be coming off again, but its got a set of new pads,braided hoses and calipers, i dont need the calipers so ill make up a VWII G40 239mm setup for sale complete with grooved/drilled discs and new pads

was on a bit of a spending spree bagged this for 15 quid, debadged twin spot grille, I'm not a fan of quad lights on mk1s but cant beat that for a bit of cheapness

The Carbs arrived in the post today, so i had a nosey around to see how complete they were and what i still needed to get, trial fitted them on a spare head and found out i need longer manifold studs 50mm is too small, measured it up and i need 80mm studs so will have a gander for them.

Also needed to get a 2-1 adaptor block for the throttle cables and a 3 way t-peice adaptor for the fuel line to the carbs, got these for 14 quid through eurocarb.

anyway some pictures of the carbs, trial fitted to the spare head and car to check out any fitment issues and clearance issues especially around the MC, its tight but perfectly do-able. Ill be fitting a 22mm master cylinder I've got in the house so ill route the brake pipes accordingly.

I've decided to mount the fuel pump and reg on the scuttle panel next to the coil, it'll just make for easing routing than having it go aruond the front. Does anyway know what i do with the mechanical fuel pump on the block? do i just leave it disconnected?

trial fitting on spare head

inlet manifold

not sure of make, holes are correctly ported for the inlet holes on the head however it could seriously do with some polishing internally

a couple of randoms

them trial fitted on the car

MC clearance, good enough

sorry for loads of pics but I'm sure someone out there will apprieciate them

oh and i still need to pick up a backbox, bushing kit and brake fluid before i get anywhere!

nice bit of kit

Edited 9 April, 200818 yr by poyzon

DUDE!!! you HAVE to let me play with R2DT and lego mans demented sick gay love child next time I'm there :-D

What does it do?

aye it is, i changed the firmware so i can program it in java, built an artificial neural network for its brains

edit for walsh, it just follows a line and has collision detection thru the bumpers but all the inputs are propagated thru a multi layer artificial neural network which is just a tech way of programming just to show evidence of an AI technique adapted to a lego robot

edit as i didnt type quick enough and the answer was posted
