So i am getting an unexpected upgrade now, Was trolling ebay and found a fully recoed single 40mm DCOM sidedraught weber on manifold from RE-Carb in QLD

 

can't wait to get hold of it and fitted, will be much more responsive and should get a bit more power over the downdraught 32/36 i have on there now, plus i can ditch the stock mani now as well :y:

 

Glad i found a single, as much as i like twins (used to have dellortos on my old coupe) the single will be much easier to keep tuned and for the size of my engine ( or any K engine) A single weber sidey will provide ample fuelling no matter how crazy i get with the internal mods a little further down the track

It's looking great mate. Love those rims, really set it off. Also the grill looks sweet, only thing I could suggest is spraying the area behind it black so that you don't see it as much through the grill.

Ok Progress still happening

 

Carby is all mounted, and almost running smoothly will rectify that on Saturday arvo

 

Also after getting 4 flat tyres from having undersized 165's on 7 inch rims(warning to people who want to stretch tyres)

 

I now have some 205/60R13's all round

 

Painted the lettering on the tyres for that muscle car look, will post more photos on Saturday

 

ill try that photo again.....

 

165 on 7' rims? what in the f$ck! i like grip therefor 195 on 7's work fine for me

I run 165's on 7's :hmm:

brb understeer into a gutter

Arguable. Less grip obviously but there wouldn't be "gutters" on racetracks where vigourous driving should be done...

So now car is running better but still a bit of fine tuning, and then ill get it off to the tuners

 

It certainly looks different now

I like that, Rebels and that colour look great. Not sold on the bonnet scoop though? :hmm:

Its a functional thing, cold air injection into the carb, i guess some peoply might not like it, I love it Sets off my muscle car theme i think

 

I also like to be a bit different :wink:

I'd like to be steering that wheel, looks tops. The car all round looks awesome mate, very cool styling.

Thanks mate, I'm loving how its coming together, no longer working saturdays now so i should be able to get my finger out and finish off the interior properly

 

I love the feel of that wheel, much nicer to drive with, 70's muscle car all the way 8D
