Good work Simon,
you should be proud of all your hard work.
I am sure your oldies are also proud of you too....it is their job to embarass their kids,
but I am sure you kow they mean well.

Ive gone close to maxin the speedo in my stock 1.6.
You should get some tread plate to put down in your diveway so that its a flatter angle.

Good to hear that you are taking it easy with that new motor
you should be able to go off the speedo in 3rd gear, you ll have to ask Joel if you can use his test track

3rd gear is 100km/h for me.
Ratios are awesome. Still short but better cruising and top speed 
Car is running rich though. Starting to backfire under load and smells rich.

you may have to try a set of hotter spark plugs.so the fuel burns a bit better and the plugs dont foul.
we went one number hotter plug and it made our 1916 smoother to drive.

Just adjusted the tappets to .15mm and it seemed to stop it backfiring?
Could this have been the cause?

yeah..could be..would definitely make it less noisy, less rattely, but .15?
shouldn't that be .06/.08 ?
put some air in your tyres?
have you given it a bath? always run better after a bath.

Thats 0.15mm / 0.006".
Seems to be back to back firing. In lower revs, say when you try to pull out of a corner.
Does this mean I just have to change my idle settings?

No soot around ports and fairly sure there is no air leaks.
