tassy74ida; can you tell us a bit about your car and what you have done to it?
What sort of speed are you looking to get out of it in quarter mile time and in top speed?
I don't really know anything about this sort of stuff but do find it quite interesting,
thanks

Kind Regards
Des

handycam tell us a bit about your manx??
desh I bought the car around 8 years ago for the hefty price of $800 and that was with 12 months rego!! ha ha I then like most people on this site got
bitten by the bug so to speak!! Car mods well I just say the basics, 48 idas, jacobs ignition system, merged racing headers and fat boy muffler,
gearbox was assembled by dave butler and ratios are set up for 1/4 mile only!! just put a new front beam narrowed 2" and 2 1/2" drop spindles, new
ball joints, tie rods etc.... lots more stuff but nothing left of field..

GOOD WORK ANDREW!!
I think your tach may be playing up.
Even with a 26" tyre,
95mph with your gearing should be around 6750rpm.
Get some slicks on that sucker!

The joint was packed, more people there than I have seen in the last couple of years, except TassieNats. Heaps of cars, heaps of people. One would say
it was extremely successful.

Hey quick update, New M/T 28x9 slicks arrived today.Was in the process of showing my engine some love before the next meet and had a spark plug slash
burnt helicoil looking thing come out of the head together>> : ( No probs engine out and will fix the problem over the weekend. Um mesured
the stroke and it is a 86mm crank which was a bit of a shock. hear are a few pics of the inlet ports, any feed back would be appreciated. Not to sure
what type of port etc they are. Will post some footage of the maden voyage with the slicks on next weekend... : )

Man, wait to see how fast you go with some bigger ports!
The inlet flange dowel hole,
and closed boss on the top corner of the casting under the head-nut
says they are most likely early 1970s 113 heads as a base.
bit hard to measure the stroke thru the plug hole,
but when you take off the heads to upgrade them (hehe),
you can check it then.
look forward to slicks results!

Got some wiring done today for the line lock and started to play round with the clutch dampner.
Has anybody been using or has used this setup at all?
