Quote from: Ian65;712923That white fb was parked near me out in the car park. I had a good look around it.... it really was as nice as it looks in the photos.
Gotta say Mark, the work you\'ve put into your car is amazing, the finish is stunning. RESPECT!!!

P.S. Where did you get your white dials from?

thanks although its starting to look a little bit tired in places from my point of view, there was certainly a lot of good gen 1\'s there very honoured and shocked to have won a trophy
The white dials came from ebay a long time ago! think possibly Oz although im not 100% there may be something in my build thread, i remember i had to sand the original faces away and paint the needles for it to work

Yeah we got back fine no drama at all, see what you mean about the extra mid range I had a great drive home.:Giggle

Good to meet you mate looking forward too seeing your baby.:chat:chat

Quote from: Marcrs;713148see, now I\'m intrigued...

The jist of the conversation was...

"you want more midrange grunt for no money?"

"sure I do!"

"gimme a cable tie then"

And that was that,I had a rummage in my tools and found a small cable tie and Ramon gave me poor mans mechanical secondaries.

There is a noticable increase in willingness to pull through the midrange and it sounds awesome.:burnout

I\'m sure there will be techies shaking their heads reading this but who cares, it was cheap and it works:Giggle

Cheers again Ramon...

see...now I\'m even more intrigued...

I have some cable ties...al I need now is a Ramon :Giggle

I\'ll get some photos later mate and a quick write up it\'s easy peasy, but you need the really thin cable ties really-2mm wide jobbies. If Ramon gets online it might be better if he does a paragraph that makes sense rather than me doing an essay that confuses everyone including myself.

Marcrs · August 26, 2010, 05:45:29 PM

I\'m all excited now

**runs to shed to select smallest cable tie on the shelf**

For a proper bodge you need to put a gasket either side of the accelerator pump diaphragm, to help reduce the huge flat spot!

Oh forgot to say, expect about 15mpg!

To be fair I found you just have to adjust driving style so as long as you\'re nice and progressive it is fine. Granted if you plant it without warning you get a hiccup but apart from that no probs. I\'m willing to forgoe that for a bit more umph!:Giggle

Fuel consumption is horrific at best, but it\'s fun-so I\'m happy.:mmmm

you\'ll lose that hiccup if you adjust the accellerator pump to cope with the extra demand for fuel.

Sure is fun, I discovered that the wheels will spin changing from 2nd to 3rd at 7k.
Ive heard that Mr Nock does it all the time!
