kangaroosa Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) Have you had it running yet? I'm keen to see how the ASI Rad performs as thats probably the next upgrade on my list. How do your brakes feel after the conversion? I found mine to be rather shite with little bite and a hard pedal. I'm looking into vacuum canisters at the moment, given that my old 5k had around 160psi of compression and a healthy 12a is ~100psi.

chappo12 Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 so the car is in the rotary shop reliance are really really good but i still feel a bit hurt (its got nothing to do with reliance rotarys there the best) you drop your car off and then they start the questions when they look at the engine bay. now i know that they need to ask these questions but its so hard to explain every thing. i guess you know what the final product is gonna look like but they see it as why is this like that thats not good i.e ive done every thing myself so far so i guess i know what the out come is going to be. but they don't.

chappo12 Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 so it took the rota for a drive sounds tough but thats just it makes a lot of noise but doesnt really go very hard any one know why ????? and now it seems really hard to start and then if i do start it i rev it and then it idles down and then stops all together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KENut Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Cool! The first drive must have been awesome even with issues. Sounds like a fuel issue to me, maybe blockages in the carby. The carby has had the float set properly, tuned etc hasnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
