.. with a few summer pics.

Taken yesterday.

Thought we should try the superlites on this car.

Works for me.

lovely pics there Kilroy

Ooooh, very nice piccys there.. 8)

What size are the Superlites? Look like 7 x 13 's ?? Thinking of 7 x 15's on my coupe but was wondering if they would fit under the front arches..... :?

Joy.

Had some tuning issues with the red beast.
Was displaying classic "lean" symptoms - and as the engine seems to have very little compression, I was not getting the results I was hoping for when tuning it.

Today was about 30C, so it was pretty well warmed up when I returned from a quick trip over t'hill.
Decided I should be able to beat it, so I hit it 3 ways.
- I deliberately set the mixture half a turn too rich - most I could get without affecting the idle speed.
- I removed the suction chamber and piston, stripped it and replaced the piston spring with the strongest one I could find amongst my bits.
- I filled the damper with heavy engine oil.

I took it for a quick test drive, and it seemed transformed.
However - the acid test is to get someone else to give a second opinion.
Sue likes manuals, and she knows when a car is going properly - so I figured her face would tell me whether I was on the money or not...










I think thats a "yes".

I can see her nipple from that angle

ooooh - cheeky..!
