spigot rings on order, but they only centralise the wheel for fitting, and i'm not getting into that arguement on here.
wheels from a twingo. just a slightly lower et, tyres are 185 65 14.

Knowledge is to know a Tomato is a 'fruit' - Wisdom, on the other hand, is knowing not to put it in a 'fruit salad'!

boot spoiler could be going(could at moment!!)
yeah about 2" drop.
drives great on new wheels and tyres, which were knackered, plenty of tread but enough crack to keep our town going.

thinking of changing to efi in future, just wondering how much hassle it is. like is it connected to central locking, immoboliser etc? though being this early i'm guessing was a simple system.

EFI..... Eh? Weber or Bike carbs. Extractor manifold. Kevstarlet might have a complete 4A-F head so you could port/valve/cam grind 'on the bench' aka Slowtime. 2" exhaust [no cat!]..... Lots to *spend money on *Default opinion of ToyoBodz is a 4A-G or 20V Me.... I would hop-up your own 4A-F OVIMOR

Guy over on autoshite bought two Chinese 'copies', for his VW, and reckons 'not all bad... Strip the lot down, de swarf/check drillings, ensure all jets are the same/correct for your car'.
£60 + effin about .. against .. £300 'new boxed' Weber [which actually isn't & needs stripping too!]
China gets my money....
Heres a Weber on ours :-
Somewhere building 'Chinesekie copies'....

Righty ho....
The '4A-F' Chinese copy carbs are laden with all the [frankly wibblepoo] emission/bypass/econo mode drillings... Why ffinn bother m8
The Weber 'Chinese copy' is what you need + the base plate mod insert .... this takes the stud pattern of the Aisin [on our car] and alters it to suit the Weber.
Google this:-
99004.250 base adapter for Weber
Electric choke option for us, or you need buy an eBay 'mini/maxi' choke cable kit.
Keen to see this sorted, m8

This is interesting to watch....
I didn't know about the *water jacket/carb warmer.
*take off carb = engine fills with antifreeze (unless you drain off!) No install vid mentions this :/
Good info on what all the pipe outlets are for.
