Thanks mate
I only finished the build of the white one a week ago, so I am still tuning the weber. It goes pretty hard off the line at the moment but seems to be running out of puff up top. AFR is good up top but not revving out past 5.5rpm too well. More jetting to do.
So I only have about 15km driving on that engine/car but the bark from the weber is louder that I thought it would be (sounds awesome. I don't get that bark from the Mikuni). This car is for my wife so it was supposed to be pretty tame and has bulk sound proofing and only 1 & 7/8 maniflow twin box exhaust. Is really smooth and quiet for a mini.
The silver one will always be my preferred driver. It has minimal sound proofing, it is sitting on old cones so the ride is rough, has 2 inch single box exhaust so is loud as hell and at 12-13 psi around town the torque steer is there.
My point is, neither of these cars are my daily, I like the raw / loud experience of the mini and I like horsepower so the silver one is my fav.
My daily is a HSV Maloo 6 speed manual. It is cammed an goes pretty hard but not the same experience.
Is floyd an 850? Looks like it by the grill. My first car was a 1961 850.
cheers

Nice job.
They both look great. You are correct Floyd is a '63 850. He's got a 1098. I've just got 500ks on him so far.
Had a noisy generator bush that scared the daylights out of me. Fixed with help from the guys on the forum.
I'm now thinking that my hs4 will be adequate. The Mikuni would be over kill. And I am trying to keep him semi original. Thanks for the reply.
