Thanks for the info frank!

mines a bit on the advanced side(around 20ish) for now coz im still using the efi dizzy since my carby convertion.. my last dizzy conversion had an opposite rotation so the vacuum advancer causes it to retard instead of advance >_< ..

baguete WROTE:

"About that flywheel, can it be made to suit 180mm clutch?
Click to expand...

its got the hybrid 180mm on the f/w side and shaved down to 170mm on the pressureplate side baguete (with the 160mm centrespline swapped over) the 160mm friction plate would slip bigtime
the 1.3 setup has a bigger dish in the f/w, so the auto driveplate is,nt suitable eh

Oh well, have to keep the heavy setup then, and discard the auto fly that came with the March... lol

thanks gents :)
fitted some corsa coilies today (acquired from a local breakers yard) and used the corsa topmount
it sat very high tho ! (as in pic) so had to include the smaller helper springs, and adjust it fully down

coilies are off again lol :) we,re currently running on some more matiz legs but with the lower perch unpicked and lowered and 1 coil cut spring (bottom in pic)
the 3 coil cut ones were too firm (like the coilies) and the stock matiz leg is too soft and high

yes nick, and i,ve got rid of that damn machine gun sound under the dash now !
if the coilie dampers were adjustable and i could soften them, then they would be fine (the springrate is,nt far out) but those stiff dampers "jarr" the car on our local concrete M42 or on scabby tarmac
we,ve cut the (fairly rusty) front crossmember off now, ready for the straighter /higher ally one :)

Hey Frank, I love your style of modding! barely a JDM brand mentioned.

have you looked / done the maths for the ideal Header design?

Dia of runners? Length of runners? 4 into 1?

what size would you run the rest of the system? 2inch? 2.5?

A fabricator friend and i are looking at knocking one up for The AUS spec 1.3 with air con.

planning on Tig welding mandrel bends, as sand pipe bending might be a bit much for our 1st time.

ive had a read of the theory. but im unsure to what RPMs ect to try and tune for.

any opinions ant articles greatly welcomed.

just korean DM eh woohoomobile :)
the mani sounds good, i measured baguete,s cube alpha mani primaries when it was in my possession, and they were surprisingly small for a 101hp setup, and sort-of 4 into 1 eh
and my janspeed ones seemed too large for a 1.3 to me
i think my personal choice would be a similar design to the cube but with bigger 28mm bore primaries :)

this low would be nice LM, with 165/60/12,s on :) (the chassis is sitting on the floor tho)
Click to expand...

That needs to be made to work Frank, it's so very good. Your banded 12s with chunky tyres and them super-lows, it'd be mental. I see them wheels in gloss black with a yellow lip and white tyre lettering *drools*

shame we cant run that low eh matt :( the wishbone mounts were literally sitting on the ground lol
the banded 12,s are for the track tbh (they drop the gearing a treat) and will have black centres and chrome/ally dish like the 135 rears

and we tried a different assembly method today :)
angled the g/box and engine, used a nut and bolt as a guide (arrowed) and it slid together a piece of piss (shafts in situ obviously)

cheers :)
the dub ones were a doddle to separate low, you should try :) just 4 x 2" welds to grind off with that very versatile well known tool, and then bish-bosh
i could have done with a bit more grip at the rear today lol

Click to expand...

not braking or lifting really sik, the 3 breakaways were part way round the corners eh, the back was sliding round most of the corners (the photographer has a few shots of me midcorner straight steering wheel), but i work on gokarts every day and my instinct is always in rear wheel drive mode (opposite lock, steer with the throttle)
and the little finger is instinct too lol :D my misses says i drink tea like that too :eek:
