no all of em if they are a little bit out of tune etc you get this sort of prob

but i also agree it can be fixed most times i cant be arsed, thats so long as it does not misfire in any way at all, that is something i really hate i once ran the fastes ever in my old dart 10. 56 best clean it was fantastic i then ran it on n20 10.40 misfiring it was Bananarama! felt much slower never even kept that ticket,

How's the car coming along Miles?

Hi Jem, I ned to do a major update really. I'm driving the car most days now and really enjoying it. Got 95% of electrics working correctly and the motor is breaking in nicely. Pondering on the expense (£500) of bringing over a set of Wheel Vintiques steel wheels with dog dish hubcaps as I realy like that look.
Playing around with carburettors and loking for new rear spring options. But the important thing is I really like the car!
Just need to update with pics.
Most frequently asked question besides the predictable 'wots the mpg, mate?' is 'when you gonna paint it?' to which I respond 'I'm not!'

Great choice Miles!

Just be aware that the they have had issues over the caps recently. I was in contact with summit over about 5-6 months regards stock and shipment. They repetedly kept on changing the in stock date due the fact WV were having issues........Not sure what, but November became April before i managed to bag myself a set of the Twins on here!

I'm still awaiting the email from summit saying that they are now in!

Ok Dave, cheers. Chris at WASP reckons on getting them in without problem.
