hi,
looking to buy a new exhaust [ full system ] anybody give me some ideas on what would sound good and go with my 1340 engine plus 5 speed box = vb

[minimiglia0]

the play mini stlye that you have on there is prob the best sound if just a tad loud

for quieter the rc40 is the exhaust to have

[dai9fxey]

Just spotted this Q.
Mike is spot on. The RC 40 has often been imitated, but the genuine article is the Bees Knees.
Maniflow coming a close 2nd.

has anyone tryed fletcher? i am looking into getting flecther system. i want similar bore all the way through. cna you get rc40 in stainless?

[valetboy]

thanks for the advice i think next show i go to could be buying a rc 40 thats if i dont get any serious offers in the mean time.one of the reasons i am looking to sell is that i am struggling with the clutch [ as i have a continued problem with a stress fracture in my shin and its been nearly a year since i did it and the bugger has just gone again ] and may consider buying a sportspack as they seem easier clutches [ god i am sounding like a man of 80 = vb

[dai9fxey]

I believe that The RC 40 is available in stainless..
The pre verto clutches are a lot heavier than the later verto clutches VB.
Hope your shin gets better soon .

[valetboy]

thanks dai9fsay, and stainless it will be !

[jjitaljob]

ive recieved my fletcher system and it is excellent quality if anyone is interested in something different with motorsport in mind.

[valetboy]

just found out engines only running on two cylinders,going to investigate tomorrow hoping its not the dreaded head gasket again,hoping plugs or leads = vb

[dai9fxey]

Oh dear. Let's pray it is electrical VB.

Dad was just wondering what seats you have in your car?

[valetboy]

rover 620 ti seats,fronts went in ok but obviously the back needs cutting down to shape,i think it needed a extra bracket on the fronts as well,seats very comfortable half leather as well,got them from ebay for £90.00 but you can get cheaper !also you have to bear in mind that if you are over 5ft 10 you will struggle for height,luckily i am a short ause so no worries for me

[jb]

Cheers. Well I'll fit, but Dad won't! haha

[valetboy]

its def not electrical,so off comes the head and see if the valves are seated properly also comp test came back at 140 140 150 150.renewed all the leads,plugs,points distributer cap but still missing on the two closest to the fan,bugger=vb

[ljonez]

those figures aint to bad and the engine should run on all 4 with them

also with refrence to exhaust, i'll only buy maniflow from now on.

i orginaly had a mini sport jobbie which was truly terible, this was swaped for an rc40 and now i got a single box manilfow with stage2 lcb and its easly better than the rc40 on performance and fit

[dai9fxey]

Have you got a twin carb set-up VB.??

[valetboy]

no, just a single su !

Hmmm. I was thinking along the lines of one carb not fuelling enough.
After running the motor for a short while, turn it off and pull the plugs.
Check to see what condition 1 and 2 are like compared to 3 and 4. Are 1 and 2 wet with unburnt fuel.??

[valetboy]

tried that all 4 were new after 5 minute runout came back and took the plugs out all 4 were very sooty

[dai9fxey]

Sooty plugs usually means the mixture is a little rich.
Not sure why it would cause 1 and 2 to misfire though.
