The car is currently running a carb (32/34 DTML) The car is and will be my daily - around 90 miles a day, so obv needs to be reliable and economical. I'd be more than happy with the 140bhp the KR gives out, I just wanted to do something outside the box of the normal 16v conversions...without spending £££'s If thats teh case and the car is not injection already then I would go for Bike Carbs. Its a lot of hassle retrofitting injection stuff to originally carbed cars, as a Daily, but something different then Bike carbs are easier to keep in tune and you`ll still get the noise from them but you wont have the huge thirst that a pair of webers will give ;D Carbs from an R1 will be plenty, and cheap too, will also probably run from a mechanical fuel pump as well No electronics to worry about and no additional or uprated fuel lines/tanks either Keep it simple  |

I know of a set of GSXR1100 carbs (40mm) for sale, I was offered them for the Locost. I can contact him and put you in touch if you want. The gixer carbs are better spaced for car applications than R1 or others aswell due to the wide engine.

^^^^^^ That is exactly what I was thinking when I asked those questions  |

'79 MG Midget 1500 - Still patiently awaiting attention
'02 Vauxhall Astra 1.8 Elegance(!) - Better than you might think
'03 Mazda MX5 - All new and shiny looking (thanks to Antony at Rust Republic)
'09 Renault Clio - Needs to go.

Adam - If you could put me in contact with him it would be great...thanks.
How would I get these set up initially to get the car to run...or would they just work??
How much is a manifold going to cost me then?
What bike cc's am I looking at? 750 +...

 I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like. |

Thanks Adam...and I keep seeing your dad on the M4. He told me he'd seen you a couple of times Unfortunately it looks the carbs I saw are no longer for sale, but I'll keep a look out for you on the gixer and locost circles. Adam |
