cheers dude,

I'm running a 70 - 60 split. The rims are G60's tyres are 195/45/R15. No scrubbing, but I did have the arches rolled before I fitted them.

Its also running Gladderseight blocks which also alters the front rake. It now handles really good.

NO worries dude, I have had no trouble at all buying from German ebay, most of the guys are really cool. I always send an email first though asking if they mind shipping to the uk. I have only had one person say no, as they were in the ass end of now where. Also 90% of the time their english is pretty good. Yup like I said I did have the arches rolled, and I removed the inner fender liners on the front, and hey what can I say not rubbing!

Cheers bro, It would not be running like that if it wasn't for your help! I will have to make a longer running video after its all tuned up!

will have to do a tracking shot, so peeps can here the exhaust

did it cost alot to get the carbs set up ?

Hey there, I don't know yet as the guy I am using books 3 weeks in advance. So the care is booked in for the 27th on this month. I do know that he charges 74 GBP per hour on the dyno, and that doesn't include changing jets etc. So yeah I know its going to sting, however its pointless going through the pain and cost of installing them only to be let down on the tunning side. If they are not tunned properly they will not make their full potential which is stupid. Thats also the reason I had a custom dizzy bult for the motor, as if you do not have enough timing you are also letting the whole setup down, as webers can run up 11000 rpm. There is really alot more than meets the eye with this setup, and like anything to do it properly costs money. So my advice to everyone is take you time, do it wright. This care has takem me two years to get it to this point. Then again I have done it all myself when I have had the time.

I hope this helps.

Cheers

cheers dude, helps alot the more info i can get the better

Who modified your distributor for you?

High there, the dizzy was built by H&H ingnitions, basicaly you send them your dizzy and give them the exact specs of the motor and they build it accordingly, and insert it into your origianal casing. I have to say even now that the car runs much better and starts up straight away, where as before it was a pain in the backside to get it to turn on the try to set the timing was dam near imposseble.

cheers dude, helps alot the more info i can get the better

No worries anytime

Cool, thanks for that.

Did they tell you where you needed to set the timing with the dizzy back on, or is that waiting for the rolling road setup?

Cool, thanks for that.

No they didn't, I just used the exsisting timing marks to get it running, then set the timing the normal way from there. It seems ok, but It will all be fine tuned on the dyno. I actualy cant wait. I have had to take the carbs off again, because I found an airleak on cylinder 1 due to a bad seeling o ring. So I have replaced them all and will be reasembling the whole thing again tomorrow! jeeez I thought I would not have to touch them again!!!! At least I will know that is will all be copasetic once they are back on.
