Had a change of heart with my wheels, decided slot mags are now my weapon of choice.
Same size as the old ones, just a new style (7x15 & 10x15 - 215/60/15 & 295/50/15)












Bought new tyres as well, so the old combinations can go into storage for the Mk1 MantaRay project later :)

Gonna make a carbon guard to cover the belt & pulleys I think

Come to the conclusion that my master and slave throttle body setup just doesn't work as well as I'd hoped.
The TB's only need to be out of sync a fraction and it causes issues, so a split / dual throttle cable was the only option. Still needed the big/small pulleys to give the required reduction in travel for these Yamaha TB's, so today I made up a little assy that does it all.
Not quite finished yet, hopefully get it finished and on tomorrow.

Good to see this at Swanage and have a chat.  A lot of work has gone into the engine setup on this one.

I've been stockpiling parts for the Corvair Mk1 Manta Ray project.
I have Body, Chassis, Flat-Out-Customs short floorpans, alternator, starter, lights, gear shift (bugtech), spindles, discs, drums, callipers, wheels & tyres, Corvair gearbox adaptor kit (Kennedy), Triumph 675 street triple throttle bodies, another Megasquirt EFI ECU kit, etc etc.

Today I collected the pair of Corvair 2.7 140 motors that I bought from the Corvair-Ranch in Pennsylvania US, from the freight Co in Southampton.

Much excitement down there then are you fitting the reverse camshaft or flipping the diff.
