It needs a lot of work still and I'm having 0 time atm.. redoing my house too, so budget is 0..
and it didn't help that is was 35degrees celsius in the lockup for the last few weeks..
I've been playing with the idea in my head to do something else engine wise... have the suzuki on bike carbs and build a extreme economy version of the derby.. just for fun.
I was thinking of a 900cc twin cylinder turbo setup like the new fiat 500 is, haven't got a clue how to get it round but I like the idea of tweaking it so it runs 1 litre on 40kms... must be possible I guess..

Hopefully I'm able to get to the Gathering, I'm definately not driving there myself cos that's too expensive right now. I hope someone is able to take the interior from Eindhoven to the Gathering, or from Eindhoven to Southampton (even better)
thanks!

I guess indeed it was running very rich, but I haven't got a clue where to get different jets..
As this carb was from a volvo 340 1.4 which is quite tame, I guessed it would work on a 1300cc suzuki engine which has a wilder cam as the volvo..
Also I wanted to put it on bike carbs anyway in the near future.

Went to Gemert (a tiny quiet little village in the Southeast of the Netherlands) this morning and helped the crew build up for JCS or Japan Classic Sunday, organised bij TACN Toyota club of the NL. Traded my helping out for a free entrance and both sides were happy again! Earlier than expected @ half past 9 the first guests were rolling in, at first mostly MR2's (modern ones) but after a while that changed. Datsuns, Mazda's, Suzuki's but mostly Toyota's.. There were a lot of special car on display, and the weather was excellent. Further.. have some pics The terrain overview, thanks Dennis.. lNice little Datsun cool van, with a cool dude.. just back from surfin... Liked this Civic.. I blame RR for that ;D have some CROWN More CROWN... and even more CROWN.. and last but not least.. some CROWN.. JDM Drift not AE86.. ;D 2TG's were present... When RWD was for losers, cool people had..... Oh yeah! and I has 5 speedz.. ;D It's a Subaru.........WHTFSTUFTW Star of the show, Show Star, wore the badge with pride!!! Big fat 600cc 3 cylinder lump, would that be 2 s tr(m)oke? ;D It's a giant Suzuki! Sterling Moss used one of these to open the highway from somewhere in Italy to Napels.. averadged 122kph over a number of hours.. Suzuki Fronte What's that program??? must be a virus my scanner missed . And Thomas parked his shed at the back of the field near a football goal, hoping the rust would jump over... And it did!!! imagine this goal being spanking white this morning, and it looked like this after the Chaser parked next to it for a few hours..

www.mytyres.co.ukwhich is a branch of delticom, have very good experiences with them over here. btw Nankang is worth a try, they're really good value, but obviously not the best there is..

If you want to tow on a normal license, the trailer has to be under 750kgs (dead weight PLUS max load) OR the trailer PLUS max load has to be lighter than the car.
Also the car has to be able to tow the trailer with maximum load..
If a trailer is able to handle 1500kgs and weighs 500kgs itself, the allowed towing weight for the car has to be at least 2000kgs, even if you are only transporting empty boxes.
Do you allready have a horse box? if so whats the weight and max weight limit of it?
and as stated one or two horses in the box doesn't make a differance, it's the trailer's weight limit that does.

are you sure it's a fiesta? there's no rot!
what's with the dents on the driver's side sills?
I like it very much, but give those arches a rust treatment to keep it rustfree!
