hi yer sure are ultralites 13 x 7 :) cant buy them in that colour thought ;)

first ones I've seen with the right offset for the car. most I've seen theres like 2 inch poke (too much)

yours fit nice though, looks sweet mate

must accelerate like f**k though on 13s :p

effectively just shortened your ratios

some people need to get a grip. if he actually said yes about putting it on the rr in college i think id be scared about it. the things been there over 20years. i remember my dad telling me that he used to put his mk1 escort on there when he went to college there.. :| knowing my luck it'll jump out and fly into the wall. I'm too paranoid :/

little update

sorted the throttle cable out at weekend and took it for the first drive, went well revs out very quick and revs very hard :) untill it pissed oil over where. i had to spend this week to see where it is comeing from i hope its just a blocked brreather :) have a vid of it going up the road will upload it soon :)

awh bad times mate =(

hope you get it sorted....loved my old R6 carbs on my 1.6 8v so cant wait to get my new ones on my valver =D has it made a massive difference on yours then?? as I'm running pretty much the same setup before and after as you lol

  • Author

yer think i sorted the oil, its coming from the oil breather box so new sealy for that and hopful end of oil leak.

yer its so chuck fiderling, like the rubbers worked them selfs loss last light so i am with out a car once again lol

masive differance in acceloration i worked it out you can do the conversion for about £180 and get a 15+ bhp increase or a bmc for £170 and get 3bhp increase if your lucky lol

the main problem i have atm is i am running standard ingion off the valver so i have no limeter, not a problem but cuz there bike carbs they try to rev high like up to 20k if your engine would let you lol

lol i wondered how long it would be lol um i am keeping every thing at the mo, i am not sure if i am keeping the bike carbs or not as i do a fair few miles a week and i might be selling the car and it would sell better on injection from what i have seen so far on here lol ;)

well it would sit nicely ontop of my 16v in the mk3, so drop me a PM which ever way you decide!

  • Author

still not sure weather to keep the carbs on there doin about 25 to the gallon :( but i will get them jetted and rebalenced and see what happens i think. also i am not running the mk2 igniton still running standard mk4 igniton and seems ok touch wood lol.
