your not far of its 412 b and on the carb are you talking about facing into the engine or out as i cant see anything facing in and ive scraped a little
but have fount this facing outwards is 101sp 3201r109 and its a manual with not catalyser

You did great in this Sunday dude, really contradicts what people say about drifting in the dry with a 1.4 being impossible man, welldone

Volvodspec i'll be interested in what your thinking aswell as I believe my carb and ignition to be the same as Mats

[mat_91]

yer it does go pretty well and skiny tyres and 70psi and big balls (or big stupidity) helps

[valman]

amazing work good to know what the 1.4s are capable of, talking of which mine is the same engine code as yours and same carb - what you got planned volvodspec?

hows your clutch holding up mat? i found mine is slipping loads from doing similar things - hoping its jsut the cable( as the clutch has about 2 inches of play (pedal)) was only on there for 8 thousand miles and ive only done a day of sliding

[mat_91]

yer she does well just enough power to skid but you rely struggle on bigger corners to be honest a little more power wouldnt go a miss ive got a good plan on that front and i have all the big bits allready and thats as much as im telling

[slim1122]

did you ever make a manifold for the bike carbs if so take some pics so i can copy it lol

[mat_91]

nar it was to much of a hassle with the inlet ports being linked and the brake master cylinder in the way
i thought about it and the amount of work it would need wont give me much of a horse power gain so in the end i couldn't be arsed bike carbs sat looking at me now got better plans now

valver?

[mat_91]

nar think bigger probably not a better engine by design but its free so i dont care and im not telling what ive got
for now

[valman]

oooo sounds intereting is it a v8?

[mat_91]

it might be it might not as im not saying untill i start it as i need a car at all times so im working my arse of
saving some money for a 240 estate and conversion moneys

[valman]

blimey! good choice of second car if insurance wasnt an issue.. id be driving a 240 theyre cool as foook

[mat_91]

well it probably will end up towing the 340 around while i gain another years no claims as its not to bad with my engine choice and age but its alot of cash to me anyway and i will have to do my trailer license i can think of dirty things to do to one like air suspension as a 240 could be a nice comfy daily car instead of a stripped out drifter for a daily

[mat_91]

well the towing idea is up the swany the engine has got problems more than usual haha
it sounds like the tappets are set miles apart and its got a huge miss fire
gunna strip it down after work tomorrow hopefully just a bent pushrod fingers crossed
failing that the other engine may be going in sooner than planed
