Got the choke installed today.
 



 

Hey Natspeed,
 
You did a great job.  I just had to file the mani bolt holes a little but other than that I am very impressed with how easy it all went together.  I was ready for a lot of swearing and cut knuckles but I was disapointed.
 
Did you get yours running properly?
 
Where's the vid link?
 
Cheers,
 
Matt

well there you go - my foot, hand and escort lol and my fzr250r

if i remember my mkII's, there is a metal retainer to slide off the cable end, a small screwdriver might be the go.
My jets are 1.8 too, they may need to goto upto 2mm tho - i can feel it, my big ported head and FR33 cam lobes can handle a bit of a fuel load methinks :)
Putting the carbs on has made me want to drive the car again - motivating me to splash some well deserved paint on the old 300,000km+ body, sadly my car has been in many hands and seen abuse from all angles (character building), i'm not innocent either but i have kept it alive this far and don't plan on giving up any time soon. The best part of the body is that it has a solid floor and hardly any rust - rare these days to have an original floor unwelded, it must have seen years of garage time in it's early life as a 1300, it also has pop out quarter windows, another rarity.
September 75 is pretty much the end of production for mk1's, i've not seen another 75' mk1 yet.

lol marty is a great help, i dont have the same hunger as does he, i'm into motorbikes too and i have put alot of hours into them, call it multiskilling lol. Bikes have a special place in my heart too as does my escorts - i will never part with them - never give up.
i'll paint my own cars in good time :) I have to get better somehow eh, i won't expect a showcar paintjob but i'll build me a solid car which will look sick from a distance ;) metalic blue always does
 

A few things arrived today -
 


 
New Grp4 alloy front hubs (RIX Engineering) , caps & bearings but usuing the standard wheel studs
 


 
Adjustable track control arms
 

 
I got them all from MotorsportTools.com.  Great, friendly guys.  Highly recommend them.  Great prices too.
 
I am getting a mate to draw up some of the 120Y master cylinder sandwich plates in AutoCad so I can get some made up so I will have a few up for grabs if anyone is keen.  Just let me know. 
 
Cheers,
