Managed to get the car out and started it up in the snow. impressed it started first time with it being so cold!

Hopefully the pic will work (and is not too big!), its the first time i've tried it on this laptop.

Looks fantastic out in the white stuff, the wheels look really good.

Just one question.. what are your mirrors off? OK for SVA??

Cheers,
Steve

Pictures of the Indy in the snow look great Matt. I think Kawasaki green is the best colour for an Indy

Mirrors look like cbr600, same as ours. They were fine for SVA.

Not polished, just used a shampoo/wax stuff and a sponge and a good scrubbin'!!!

Its looking great,did you encounter any problems with the bike carbs on your pinto.


iscmatt - 23/3/08 at 09:27 PM

no, no real probs, they leaked a bit of fuel when first put on but that was only due to the o ring seals having dried out, as soon as it had some fuel in the rings (and left like that overnight) they were re-hydrated and not a problem since.

Bogg Bros, pre tune the carbs so that the car will start when first installed, as it did do, and then when i had put them onto the engine we went back for a tune up to get it running just right. Boggs put in bigger jets to allow more fuel but that was about it really.

The best modification especially as there was no stress involved!!

Looks great out in the snow, love the colour. When I see cars like this and the one in Mark G's avatar I wish I aint been so conservative and gone for black

looks beautiful. what kind of power are you getting on the carbs? what's the rough costs involved?

Haven't managed to get around to finding out power etc but hopefully this summer when the car is back on the road i will get myself booked in and find out, cos i really want to know too...

As for rough costs the carbs are very low maintenance and i got the carbs and manifold and filter (everything except the pump) included in the price which was around £400 if i remember rightly! and i now get around 23 mpg on 'strong' drive out.
