i agree......maybe i should borrow ur car for a weekend of get to know it time jon
il be careful.........honest lol
or maybe i should just throw the bodies back on the willy n have a run against both of ya ;)
although to be fair...a quicker car, either in a straight...
0-60 5.63
0-100 about 14.5-15 secs, maybe quicker
SQM 14.0 would go quicker.
in one.
dont really know about the throttle bodied one, maybe around 6 to 60 but lower times for rest. will have to sort em out , refit em then go pod or summat lol. was a match for thejesus' anyway ;)
yes mate, the engine will drop straight in, you would need the loom etc tho as the 1.2 one would be useless for the 1.8.
there is everything there for a conversion tho, eng, shafts, brakes, hubs,shox/springs, minus box, even an almost complete 1.8 valver trim, very clean minus front...
must admit. that looks a lot better set up than the usual bodies conversion, purely for the inlet /butterfly shape.
dig me up when ones actually produced ;)

id recommend ds2500 pads with std discs. dot 4 fluids and a set of braided lines.
as edde says tho, std shud be pretty good, but give them a bit of continual abuse they start to fade very quickly. iv fitted the ds 2500 s on mine a while ago now, have been very impressed, no fade wotsoever...
thats not a problem..iv rectified the 10 mpg on 0051 now....hehe.
took the bodies off and gone back to standard inlet. left the cams in tho ;)
slowly slowly gettin ready for spa lol. let me know when your about.

Re: Valvers - f**kin awesome!!!!! :D
hmm iv never been beaten by a hill power tuned car apart from adis/matt browns old un. mod for mod mine would have raped it.....which is why adi added the nos. take from that what you will, but his engines have NEVER been impressive IMO. his rep...
and in that frame of thinking....world land speed record car had a mini subframe.......
off to fit 1974 mini 1000 subframe to the williams and then doing a 0-350 mph run ;)
Re: Valvers - f**kin awesome!!!!! :D
they arent as bad to work on as a lot of people would have you believe. owt for a few extra labour fees huh lol.
compared to a LOT of modern cars they are relatively easy to work on.
as above really.
back in the day, mod for mod, mine was running around a couple tenths quicker than the 1*2's on the strip zorst n filter mods only. rhys' old 172 ph1 being the quickest of the newer ones, with paddys ph2 close behind.
both chasin mine n craggys zorsted/filtered...
have a few of the proper old school meets. donny show, york think i even have some of the 1st pod meet ..in me black valver lol....would be 2000 ish. will have to dig em out
minter that. as already said, new expansion tank, and coolant, under bonnet clean n its all finished.
a smaller front plate, and ph2 grille woukd be the only things that id do to that tbh. but then ........fukkit....leave it std ;)
i beg to differ ....
true, you get what you pay for, but the more expensive kit is usually no better than some of the quality cheap-er units.
and the manufacturers of the cheaper units dont seem to go bankrupt evry other year, a la leda etc.
