lowrota Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Well she is an old girl with a tiny bit of body rust but its a daily driver so not to worried about it. Just making up a manual choke for her and polish up the jelly bean tridents and should look good. Running a 265 with 2 barrel carby. 218bhp/163kw. Its had some (rough) paint touch ups but she is a strong runner and good for cruising Discussion viewtopic.php?f=18&t=16822 Plans later on is: Manual choke New 8 inch speakers in back if i can find a cheap set. New boot lock Repaint gloss or flat orange with black roof? Undecided or maybe just repaint colours it is now. Fix window rubbers. Headers 4barrel?

lowrota Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 New update.. Pictureless New extractors have been bought and is getting a new exhaust system throughout. One single resonater is replacing the current muffler that is apparently best suited for a 4 cylinder. Will update photos when its all on! Estimated power increase 20kw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrota Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Extractors turned out to be a bitch so sold them off and bought another set that where in better nick. Not handy with a welder (and dont have one) so waiting till i can take it somewhere to get put on. Accelerator cable was redone, 350 was rebuilt and rejetted/new needle and seat etc. Had water damage that needed cleaning but all up carb rebuild was only $116 @ the carby shop in hamilton. Fully recommend that place(now its got new ownership). She starts like a new car and runs bloody sweet now. M&H Flowmaster copy has been fitted Free flow and sounds fn sweet.
