some updates

well exams are nearly over 1 left wooop.

sun has been out in force this week but instead of playing with the car i've been immersed in gta 4 haha.

anyway messed about with the inlet manifold again took some more off it with the angle grinder and it'll almost go on fully, but got bored at that job so started with the wheels

got a few more coats to do over the week, not sure if I'm going to detail the inner bits black now cos I'm liking them all white but i'll see when I'm done

swapped over the brakes and got a new brake line made up from the master cylinder to the drivers side wheel so i could bend it out of the path of the carbs without kinking it

239mm jobbies back on

angle grinded the flexi pipe and fitted the centre section, needs a larger sized tube placing over ideally and welding, will get the pat the mot'r to do that for me woot

finally got the inlet manifold after much fannying about with an angle grinder

pressure gauge (I've got a blanking screw for after I've set the pressure

carbs all fitted and plumbed in, just got to fit the pedal back on, connect the throttle cables and wire up the fuelling loom

and got a couple more coats done on the wheels too woopagio

off to stanford hall show tomorrow with my mate rob and picking up my yokos woo

well updates

managed to get the carbs spitting and stuttering but not firing up, fuel pressure guage was broken and i didnt have a balancer for hand but new FPG is on the way and a friend is letting me try out his balancer that he picked up for setting up his twin 45s on a 2L 16v.

also will check timing is correct by whipping spark number one out, turning the head by hand and checking teh piston height with a screwdriver.

fuel pressure was at 2psi before the gauge broke so i dont want to mess about adjusting the fuel pressure without a working gauge to check and i dont want too much fuel pressure in the carbs. also got some fresh petrol today cos the car was left garaged for the last year so the petrol probably lost all its octane level

and went down to my local tyre fitters and got the yokos on the routays, got them balanced then stuck em on the car, bled the brakes while i changed the wheels for ease of convenience so i finally have a brake pedal that works woo!

some piccies cos the day was still warm (check out my 3.75 bhp grass cutting skillz)

so all that needs doing pre mot is getting the carbs up and running and once thats done i can set the gear linkage ensuring all gears are correctly selecting, refit backbox and get it down to pat the friendly mot man

Looks Awsome chap!! Wheels really suit it!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ agreeed!!!

Just read the whole thread as I've been slacking recently (in terms of this )

Gotta say, looking good safmeister!

Rude man Rude !

cheers boyos :) the paintjob is pikey but they look better than they did before,

main thing is just them looking half decent and being wrapped in top rubber, so job done in that respect, will get some centre caps made up but in no rush, my old housemate is gonna knock up a quick cad diagram just cos he wants to get tech so i might get him to make me some stub axle spacer plates too

me likes the wheeeeels says iiiiiiiiii

Not seen this thread since the start as my PC was ill.

It is now the thread with everything- Twin webbers, grilled cheese,cleaning fetishists,robots that can write and robot hands lol.

Oh and it looks great, respect to all the work put in :)

Where was there grilled cheese?! mmmmmmm

and thanks mate, appreciated. its not mint and it is going to get a beastin on the road but thats what cars were made for and aye that robot hand was legendary haha

man they look great in white. awesome work on the carbs too they look like serious kit!

any of you manc lads coming down for the leeds meet on sunday?

walshie might be but me last exams on the monday so ill be giving it a miss, I'm freer than a motherfucker after that tho

Ah man that looks schweet I'm reet jealous, twas a good call getting dem rim tingz.

had to completely setup the timing from scratch as it was mega out, lined up all the pulleys, just need a timing gun to make sure its bob on and a balancer to sync the carbs

but she lives

happy days ps. sound quality is gash cos it was on me phone
