Someones splashed out at Dsn Classic

[yeti21586]

lol only a little bit, you havent seen the interior handles yet lol i just love there stuff!

[Andrew O]

MMMMM get some pics up of them, After seeing your engine i think i might have to have a splash out at Dsn for my project

[iDemonix]

Wow, that pic has put me off a bit, looks like the steering wheel is 4 inches closer to you!

[RossKnight]

Which means the indicator/wiper stalks are 4 inches further away too. Or is it just the angle of the picture?

[leaky]

You going to paint your engine block?

Oil cooler is looking cool as well. I need to get one of them for my red mini!

[yeti21586]

i havent stuck a seat in etc with the snap off boss so i dont no what its going to be like driving with it.

and leaky yes at some point i will probably paint the engine but its not on top of my list of priorities, as were getting kicked out of the garage soon, so need to get it mechanically and everything else finished.

but thanks for looking guys.

That is a SU HS4 Non-Waxstat carburettor!

I'm 100% certain, so its not a wild guess you sometimes come across on here!

Here's a minispares page on it:

That is a Waxstat version, the waxstat was added to lean the mixture when they warm up....to be honest their crap, so you have the better HS4 for power and reliability!
