its been about 2 weeks since herbie has arrived here at his new home , he has since had the 1300 removed ( richard!! was actually 1200 ) and a 1600 put in now he has the balls to get up the hills here in albany
has had another fuel pump put in as the one in was buggered so herbie ended up wit the original pump that came out of my poraga when it blew up
Oh yeah and kim has pulled out the seats and put in R32 skyline seats nice and comfy
okay well thats it from me and I am sure Kim will update this thread himself soon

Kim and Sharon. I'm really pleased to see the progress with Herbie. So it was a 1200. No wonder it was gutless. WTG. Richard.

herbie blew a heap of oil out of the motor today apparently 1200 gearbox 1600 twinport engine and 86 mph don't agree.
the oil is on the outside of the car as well as the engine bay..lots of oil
Kim

P.S. no herbie stickers now took em off last weekhaust
P.P.S. also crunched the exhaust so now it is running the twin hotdog exhaust off sharons poraga
