Twin 40's: Round 3


Finally, the carbs are on, the crack has been welded and i have spent about 30 minutes tuning them in. I think i am about 90% there now. The car drives great, with lots of power and copious amounts of torque. The wheels are fond of spinning straight through second gear. I like it. Next task is to install a proper linkage which will have to be modified from a weber DCOE as no linkages were available for the Solex. Wish me luck.

EBC's Green Stuff Pads

I needed new pads. I wanted the best pads i could buy without upgrading the calipers. I have read some bad reviews of the Green Stuff pads but I have also read that they are now made from a new formula and are much better. Furthermore, the only performance pads I could find to fit my car were EBC Green Stuff. I decided to give them a go. So far so good, although i have yet to test them under more spirited conditions.
