Looks the goods mate- all done with plenty of summer to go.
Whats the wrap on your accelerator pedal for?
What club have you joined?
Samm
Its too damn hot to drive it in summer, im waiting for winter i love the cold haha.
The wrap was there to stop the pedal scratching the paint while the throttle cable was off.
I joined the mini car club of nsw, the inspector that looked over my car lives in my suburb so he came as soon as i called him and signed off straight away which made it easy.
Took it out for a first test, spark plugs are golden so the tune seems to be ok but will recheck it again.
Only issue i encountered in 3 km of driving was that the carby was as i believed too close to the firewall, the carby has scratched the paint so i will need to get some longer engine steadies that will move it away by about another 10mm at a minimum.
The issue isnt the vibration of the engine but the bumps and speed humps that cause the engine to jerk, i wasnt happy with the current engine steadies so at least now i can make some solid full length ones.
Other than that i haven't encountered any problems, the lingering fear of stalling based on my prervious carby is still there but so far this carby has performed without any issues.
I would still like to find a mid hood bow so i can make up a partial roof to at least have some protection from the sun/rain, i dont want to keep looking at the weather radar when i want to take it out.
An alternative is to have a roll cage made up and the roof attached to that and do away with the roof frames entirely.
Every second person is giving me the thumbs up, not use to all the attention haha.
Cheers,
