twoguns - June 14th, 2003 at 09:12 PM

hey matttyler. you went a 1916 insted of 1776. could you tell me why. im am trying to work out which. and how is it cooled....
thanks

matttyler - June 14th, 2003 at 09:36 PM

To tell the truth I got the 1916 because it was there at the right price.
All I can tell You at this stage is "THE BLOODY THING FLIES"
As far as cooling it has a deep sump and with the weather we have at the moment cooling really is not a problem, I will keep you posted...!
Matt

twoguns - June 14th, 2003 at 09:48 PM

yeah i've been talking about upgrading. i cant use a deep sump.... toooo low. going with kombi cooler as per mike (cbb). just trying to decide what size. damn shame i missed the 1916 thread b4 it was taken off.

Hi Matt,

Mad I tell you Mad ( In other words bloody fantastic)....I dragged off a Mazda Mx6 the other day. He pulled up at the lights on the inside lane thinking the old Kombi couldn`t cut it .....Silly little man in his hairdresser car,you should have seen his face!!!!!
