The first carbs put on were dhla 48 mm way too big for my lil 1600 which made it near impossible to drive there was no inbetween it was idle or 4000 rpm clutch dump takeoffs it was hard work and took its toll quickly on the engine bore washing it, after sourcing them i made the switch to 40mm dhlas but the damage was done and the smoking was getting bad but for a while i just drove it and enjoyed it till i wanted to start the rebuild.

So after saying to my matesi didnt want to mod this car it was too perfect and awesome first on my mod list was a custom 2 inch exhaust system about 5 days after ownership, from there it went downhill haha then it was time for the doooooor of twin sidedraughts i had heard it and needed it myself so on they went and the real sss was born.
