Yeah go on.... I'm totally happy to extract you from your bitumas trap and allow you to run free again... Then I can do a review for all.... "So I received Blings 18kg of sound deadening from a very pissed off looking mailman. I then carefully layered it up on top of the fuel tank in the front of my imp and my god- this car has NEVER FUCKING HANDLED AS WELL AS THIS BEFORE!!! "

How's that finger pulling going? I'm in the market for some sound deadening and Amazon keeps telling me they wont ship to my address ? (because rural?) So the stuff you bought has me intrigued.

I play the exact same music whenever I'm out racing the gringo tourists in their Tiidas here.

How did you get on with this @zep ? Do 100 series 4wd hiaces with the lsd rear end have the correct axles you need?
-
Oh and there are other cams available. I was going to get some. I can't remember who/what brand but it was via the mx6 forums I'd found them.

I'd be keeping it simple too and just enjoy getting it on the road. It's pretty impressive how fast a lightweight car (like my viva which was around 1 ton iirc) can feel with circa 200bhp the KLZE engines put out. Get your itbs and exhaust sorted and you may well be looking at a bit more. I'll just put this video here. I imagine he's running some high compression and it has itbs etc but certainly no variable valve timing or other alien magic Just pretty oldschool tuning on a fantastic base engine design.

Tomble's adorable go cart / distraction / Alto Works
yoeddynz replied to tomble's topic in Other Projects
Just catching up on this thread. Did you actually clock up that amount of kms in such a short space of time or is that a typo? -
Is that factory fitted fake carbon on the dash or added by a po? Damn I wish I'd bought one of these and bunged it in the container (we had the room) when we moved home from blighty. They were stupidly cheap because not fashionable at the time and very few decent outfits with real experience in the uk. In the early 2000s when we had our FBs you could pick up many rx7s series 1 through to 6 for beer money if you looked about - especially if not running. It's different now and cheap ones there are hard to come by.

Yoeddynzs 1965 Hillman Imp. Chasing Flappy whirrs
yoeddynz replied to yoeddynz's topic in Projects and Build Ups
Because I'm such a hardcore party animal on new years eve here I am doing an update. The imp needs more fresh air via face vents. See this grill here.. Removed there's this... Air inlet for main ventilation system is here in the left.. I wanted more air. So on this side here... I cut a hole.. Filed it smooth, painted the edges and moved on up to the passenger side bulkhead where another hole appeared.. From the inside, once cleaned up, matching hole in bulkhead cover and fire extinguisher moved below the shelf.. I'll connect these holes with more 2" alloy flexy tube and create some sort of scoop/nasa style duct to help channel air at entry point. Moving to the back. I have never really fully clicked with the look of the all black leather covered rear bulkhead garnish that I'd made to hide the access cover above the engine. Its a bit too much black which makes the bay feel smaller and darker.. So I removed the lower half of the leather right below the bottom alloy strip... It was stuck on harder than I expected. Then spent ages cleaning off the contact adhesive residue left.. Prepped it for paint, masked it up and set up the paint shop.. Sprayed lots of blue about with most of it hitting the target and leaving my characteristically custom 'leather pattern paint finish.tm' ..... Once set hard enough enthusiastic me could remove the masking tape and fit it in place. It looks much better me thinks! ... There's a side panel I want to make next to tidy up the drivers side inner bay and I'll be pretty happy with the bay then.- 120 replies

The vast amount of energy AI just used to create those yet still got some spelling wrong I'll post one up on the mybookspaceface hillman imp page and report back with responses. -

You just wait till I load up the poster print consisting of screen shots of well informed Barry comments from a recent facebook post I had made on a modified car group. Much mirth. Some angry barries out there. -

re-spacing them is the easiest bit. Its the flanges with accurately spaced injector ports that's the tricker bit to hand machine. I'd hope to print something that suits my side feed k11 injectors/custom rails I made. -

yoeddynz replied to yoeddynz's topic in Project Discussion
It does have 6 carbs too but they feed from a common airbox. I'm very much looking forward to fitting my itbs. I might have to enlist the help of @ThePog or @Roman to whip up some flanges to take them before I commit to alloy (if alloy is even needed) because I think i'll get bored very quickly hand machining something to suit them... -

Cool - I was thinking about some packing since I have some left over. This 1500 without any mufflers still sounds quite deep and on the bench with some very basic bike mufflers it sounded pretty neat with a bit more over run rasp at high revs.. I'll be building it as the above picture internally but a similar style to my current box externally (so it fits the same spot easily) with a removable lid so I could add or detract some packing. I actually kind of want a smidge more 'tinny' sound. -

I'm going to make a whole new muffler much like this as found on 70s 911s.... Added bonus is that it has a side exit I think my straight through perforated pipes with glass fibre packing is only removing the high tinny sounds and it leaves a deeper note. Its a very smooth sound but not the sound I want. This is the sort of sound I am chasing. A bit more grumbly and less drone. -

It's a very smooth surface. 1040 (iirc) plate steel that I'd given a skim. It'll certainly be very smooth where the bearings run now @GregT I do exactly the same with all bearings I fit to bicycles. Quite comical how lacking in grease some arrive with. -

Good idea. I'll have a look at that next time the engine is out. They are good quality items and 2rs so hopefully the grease will stay in place till then..
