KE ping it real Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) 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 Edited February 4, 2012 by KE ping it real Quote
FOOMAN Posted February 5, 2012 Report Posted February 5, 2012 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. Quote
KE ping it real Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Posted February 16, 2012 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 Quote
KE ping it real Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Posted February 16, 2012 ill try that photo again..... Quote
Evan G Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 165 on 7' rims? what in the f$ck! i like grip therefor 195 on 7's work fine for me Quote
Jono.C Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 Arguable. Less grip obviously but there wouldn't be "gutters" on racetracks where vigourous driving should be done... Quote
KE ping it real Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) 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 Edited February 18, 2012 by KE ping it real Quote
Jono.C Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 I like that, Rebels and that colour look great. Not sold on the bonnet scoop though? :hmm: Quote
KE ping it real Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) 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: Edited February 18, 2012 by KE ping it real Quote

The car all round looks awesome mate, very cool styling. Quote
KE ping it real Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Posted March 11, 2012 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 Quote
