[SAL 821X]

Those twins look the dogs.........


Straight cut drops sound pretty good too..



Hmmmmmm food for thought

[MiniLandy]

Nice, what manifold are those HIF38's on?

[1977 Loud_Mini]

The manifold the 38's are on is an AEG573 one, and only utilises 2 bolt holes out of the 4 available on an HIF type carb.

[PhilipGCaldwell]

been on it this weekend, pretty much all done

cut arches and wing as the neg camber made it rub a bit, fitted centre console

need to look at the exhaust as its leaking from where the Y piece joins the downpipe, need to clamp it better

took it for a few quick spins down the road aswell, and by crickey u dont half feel it come 'on cam' at about 2000 revs, pulls like a train!It still bogs down a touch under 2000 revs but still need to tinker with the fueling, it has an AAA needle in it, going to order an AAU as suggested by AC Dodd as I think the AAA is a bit on the lean side for the spec

will post a pic tonight

[twrminisport]

AAU sounds about right.

Ive sent you a PM with my news about my small bore motor rather than clutter up your thread with my rubbish haha
Also if your interested i might sell my filter and go for an MED one myself...

Cheers

[twrminisport]

Yeah its hammering it down here too. But ive got a double garage with loads of workspace around each car in there, oxy cettalene in there and my snap on welder
Rear subframe WILL be out

[PhilipGCaldwell]

in between the rain yesterday I got the HS4 off and the hif44 on but didnt get it going as the heavens opened

[twrminisport]

Cool Yeah weve got garage space to the max to be honest what with home, lockups and the workshop.

Careful rejetting the HIF and make sure you modify as per Vizard

[PhilipGCaldwell]

AC Dodd suggested going with the BDL needle to start with on my spec
