Hey Nat...........

Nothing better than loads of Capris all driving about at the same time.

Ahh I think I see..

..so the resistence of a little 1" filter comes not from the airflow being restricted through the material of the filter, but just from the restriction of the airflow inside the filter.. if you see what I mean.. like a sort of air sandwich..

I get paranoid about sucking in leaves and that sorta thing.

..but just how likely that is I don't know.

Does a filter really have that much effect on airflow that it richens the mixture up? The resistence through a K+N is intensely slight.

You've made me paranoid and uncertain about mesh now!

Oh. Well.. my DGAV can't actually mount a K+N anymore..

<r>..coz the two screws at one side are stripped! It has a lovely botched piece of metal netting over it at the mo, the one Daisy had over hers at DICC <E>:)</E><br/> <br/> Yeah I'll stick with the DGAV for winter - there's a nice flow of hot coolant through it to stop it freezing on the motorway <E...

Oh that was on the 32/36 which I put back on for winter he w

..the chokeless DGAS is lovely and smooth mate :) But well hard to use in winter - how do you do it??

No apparently the DGAV was too lean on the idle jet, too rich on the first choke and too lean on the second one. I think that's right anyway.

Aye you're right Matty...

..proper old skool setup. And he was freakishly experienced. He looked at some jets - just looked at them before I fired it up - and said "it's been lurching a bit at low revs hasn't it?"

..madraw skills..

As I said in the first post, I liked it, you could feel the potential.. but it wasn't giving me it;s all and I'm impatient for the juicy power.

Nah shut up! Anyway they're broken now.

Oh cool.

..what kind've you got? I used to have a Samara 1.5.. the only car I've ever driven I never had to jack up - coz it was so high off the ground to cope with the Russian / Polish roads!

So you could go "russian" around without a jack and not worry. Heh heh ehh I'm a comedy genius.

Rapid cooling...

..would probably be due to the water level dropping below the thermostat. As for the cause, probably just a knackered old hose :)

Re: Well you big bunch of homos.. its Friday..

Nice! That's a good intintererary. I hate doing points though, I really hate it, gapping them, tightening them up which very slightly tweaks the gap.. and all the time your back's starting to hurt.. grrrrr... well annoying. I hate points.
