KKtrips

Last time I saw Steve. He's probably a spaghetti tin 3 times over by now.

Heres mine from a long time ago. //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/22549-k-trips-1974-austin-1300

These are cool cars. What stuff do you want to know. I've toyed with them a fair bit.

It's so people can comment on your build, give you advice and support without cluttering up your build thread. It's how we do build threads on here. It works really well.

Yes even if it means that.

You can fit an A15 without certification, An increase in 25% of power or capacity is still WOF territory 125% of 1200cc is 1500cc... Jus sayin nameen? edit - I could be wrong as I'm recalling info from 10 years ago when I was doing WOFs. I forget.

Its a sign that you shouldn't sell your 120Y

Jimi Marley? Voodoo Jammin

Lambo Vanbo doors.

That tank colour is boss and just screams out for some engine turned lettering with a name like "the Green Monster" or "Sweet Lolita"

Hows Ping-laden going with the doors? /he's sold em for scrap already.

Who needs lock when you have low. Also please indulge my desires and paint rims black, and the drums/wheelnuts silver then post a photo with no caps. Need something new for the wank bank.

turn the pump around and have it facing backwards? Like this but a pump.

EST is fine except it is overcomplicated for a very basic function that advance weights and a vacuum advance does perfectly well. Plus it is very early form of computer control so not developed and refined. When it works there is nothing wrong with it. Till it doesn't. Like now. Find a VH blue dizzy and jam it in. You may have to do a little research to figure out which wires to use but its not hard and the other wires can just be tidied up and stowed to the side. Alternative is a run of the mill points dizzy. Cheap and plentiful. You can get aftermarket electronic ignition to fit in a points dizzy. Totally adequate for anything you will do with the car in my opinion.

351 with an 850 - theres ya problem there. Unless you were pulling 8000 rpm.

An 850? on what size motor?

Fair enough Rog. Well Seedy if the girdle fits - or as the case may be - doesn't fit...

Are we going to be oversubscribed for this place - should we do a last minute change? I'm keen as fuck for this place because I have no WOF and no Reg on my car and I can probably make a reasonable excuse if I get pulled over that close to home but thought I would address the elephant in the room.

New carby installed - had to modify a couple of small things but it ran right out of the box and ran pretty good too. Genuinely so much more responsive and very consistent at idle compared to the Q-Jet. Things to do - tune it properly with the carb tune kit that came with it and adjust timing as it is a bit pingy now. - fit a right angle fuel inlet to clear the air filter base. - figure some way to mount the air filter as curiously there does not seem to be any thread down inside the regular hole in the middle of the carb. - adjust the throttle response as it is super snappy right now - probably just needs a lighter return spring. I drove it home tonight and off for WOF tomorrow. It sounds so much more rawkus than the video portrays but I know I'll be flayed without pics.

Sure - flick me the keys. 1 x Australian tune-up inbound.

Links Fixed

I saw a stock height and sitting on modgies (I think) version of this car yesterday morning heading towards the Eastern suburbs. Please don't tell me it was you.

Problem with POR15 etc is unless the surface is properly keyed then it can peel off in big strips. It does not stick well to flat metal very well. Plus to paint a truck chassis would cost a few hundred with the price of POR15 at $120 odd a litre.

PPG GMH Flat Black. 599-48355 I understand this is the paint they put on the underside of all the factory cars.

Now bring it to Wagnats and top'n'tail with Spiro.
