Ahmotorsport Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Nice update Cheers Sid! Mocked up the front rad yesterday as well. I will run it in sync with the rear rad for now. When i don't need the car every day it will be plumbed in properly. Also ordered new heater hoses (which is how my rad will be plumbed in)New rear flexi brake pipesNew rear wheel cylindersVarious other bits and pieces for the front rad.Another set of Strombergs if i didn't mention that before. Ahh yes, i received my cylinder head yesterday. I see some of the gasket face, outside the fire rings has corroded fairly deep. Again, no mention of that in the description. I'm sure i can sort it out, if it needs sorting, haven't had a proper look at it but, i'm getting real tired of these peoples sh!t.

Ahmotorsport Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Suppose i should update this, just ceebs recently. Umm, where are we at. New wheels. That's where we are at. Couldn't resist. Only got two, just to check they were gonna fit under the front, which they will with some slight fettling, had to ship some wheel nuts in from the States, so we're waiting on them and i'll order the other two come next pay day. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/10303774_10203149601132241_2535538815884170752_n_zpsfeb6dca8.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/10297566_10203149601492250_1023085324881799838_n_zpsf19ddf66.jpg That's how they look under the front http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/10273409_10203149601692255_6010229662617430640_n_zps6feec0a8.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/1613883_10203149600892235_6887871327529624036_n_zps926384c7.jpg And that's the back. Fuel pump has been relocated due to air getting into the system and making it noisey. So it's now a pusher, not a sucker. Located under the tank, perfect so far. Strombergs, yep, they are finally on along with a new outer and inner throttle cable, completely transformed the car. Bit more power all through the rev range but the low down torque and throttle response is phenomenal. Just gets up and fucks off! Lovely weather for it as well today. Real nice day. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/20140518_145920_zpsccf84dce.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/20140518_163507_zps16ace5b8.jpg Umm, with the new forum layout, i don't know how to embed a video in, so here's a link And of course, some random shots in the sun http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/20140518_180109_zps05989ab9.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/20140518_180117_zps4e4336c3.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/20140518_180056_zps167b6f2b.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/20140518_181914_zps79b9edac.jpgOh yeah, also got some new rear springs in the back.

Ahmotorsport Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Does it have drum brakes front and rear?Indeed it does. 4 pots are on the list. Complete and utter overkill and a waste of time. But they look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
