I dont post on here much, but I do come on here a few times a week for a browse. I must say Kitch your entire build is awe inspiring and those itbs are just perfect It really makes me want to chase after a certain 1200 coupe which has been hidden away.

Cheers guys for all your positive comments - much appreciated

Luke, I have not got a cold start solenoid circuit on my manifold.
Could retrofit down the track if necessary. I will just use my right
foot to assist with warm up, and not drive till up to temperature
its a sunday driver not a daily; so think I can live with that.

[Kitch]

ran it up to temperature again today.

playing round with mixture & butterfly stops & ignition trying to get running better,
managed to dial back fuel about 15% and lose most of the smoke, other than when I was revving to 6,000rpm+

think its ready for a pro to have a look at tuning now, as so I don't do any damage or stuff things up further!


Drove it up the drive a couple of times, took all of my self discipline to not barrel it up my street

She's sounding sweet.

If your motor is fresh, don't idle it!

Coming along very well Kitch with a good tune on a dyno she'll be screeming

[Kitch]

So I have a few days off between easter & ANZAC to look after the kidlets,

So I have booked in for tune & Dyno run in 2 weeks time @ RAPID!
Also will get Jacko @ LJ's Auto Align to do his magic & straighten up the wheels
After thats sorted, its out to join the queue at the paint shop....

(Yes, I am fizzing)

[Kitch]

Yay; 45 series tires FTW!
Amazing what difference it makes to the appearance (ie 195/45 rather than the 185/55’s)….
Sorry to Bart and Southern cruise contingent, that I had no wheels on to do a skid when you visited!
