[moorlander]

how is the other car you hit ???

[KieranBolton]

Fine all fixed and repaired sorted Just working on my 1.4 lump now... Gradually buying bits

Kieran

[KieranBolton]

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160981224677?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 - CBR 600 Carbs

Now im undecided on wether i want to buy a bike fuel pump built for the job or an upmarket one like a facet one.......

heads being stripped and valves and springs being replaced aswell as ported and polished then finished with a skim

Once that comes back ill be saving up for my Cam

ohh and ive officially decided i need something luxuary and fast so ive decided on the next car..... which will be a secrate untill it arrives however thatll be closer to the end of this year

[andyllewellyn]

nice the cbr 600 carbs are perfect for these

as for fueling a few people use the filter king and pump(think thats the name /brand)

am looking for an old bready to do the same to as a summer project

cheers

Good lad andy  

 

Im selling a GT loom if you're interested for a GT conversion? 

 

Anyway Bikecarbs almost here... in the meentime have a flag

 

 

Kieran

[KieranBolton]

Well the plot thickens... I have currently in my possession: 

 

Welder

Bike Carbs

Welding Shiz...

Ohh and some tubing...

 

Basically the CBR 600 carbs turned up So i bought a welder and grabbed some pipe from work so i can get cracking with a manifold On monday im going back to work to find some scrap plating i can use

 

now im not sure where to go with this one; I quite like the look of fancy trumpets, but then i cannot find any to fit my carbs, so then an airbox/filter was thought about however CBR 600 Filter boxes are a pain too... So there's going to be some fab work either way

Anyway

[andyllewellyn]

ohhh trumpets

andy

[KieranBolton]

i love the trumpet idea... but the filter idea is better i think... not sure 

 

got the grinder out tonight and decided to give making a manifold ago however got bored and quickly gave up (Cut 4 pipes) Anyway Off to work tomorrow to get some plate to see if i can weld said pipes to plate.... or better still get them to make me a manifold  

 

Ill update when i get chance

The heads gone to  lancaster engines

Personally I'd want to get it done professionally, not only for looks but for safety and performance!

[andyllewellyn]

seen it done by pro's and pikey's, both seem to work well

I may even give it a go this summer

andy

[Kpowell911]

Just get your manifold done by Bog Bro's. They made and set up my mates 106 Rallye and done an awesome jo band not too pricey either!

[bodgemonkey]

Yeah Boggs aren't too bad, got quoted

[andyllewellyn]

seen a few from the bogg bro's and always been impressed

looking at a set of zxr400 carbs that a mate has and that will be the start of my build

1.3 gt lump with about 100-110 bhp to start with in either a square back mk2 polo or saloon if i can get one cheap enough(there not getting cheaper now)

will build the lump as funds allow and take it from there

good luck with your build and how's the paint going?

cheers

[KieranBolton]
