Hot cakes are for overweight people - it fits !
SeanDezart said:Grolls, if he paid £600 for new carbs, he got a bargain or was that without the manifold ? QUOTE]
I thought he typed it in wrong,but thats what he quoted. £800 wont get you the carbs. £900 is the cheapest I have seen,but then there is a manifold needed, nissmo= 450 cannon=400 cheapie= 250....Talking of manifolds, have you got your one sorted?
SeanDezart said:Russ - it's not prcie it's choice but I think one needs a lot more than just throttle bodies for them to work
Grolls, some basket called Simon260 registered in the UK bought 'em !
Dont knock it Stegasaurous, just cos you'd getAs for throttle bodies, 3-8 k depending on what level of performance you wish for. Gimmee carbs any day

if you ever ventured in any remotely competative situation.
Rhubarb !!!But looks pants and no sound
I have them because they give an improvement over twin carbs if set right and they look great, not to mention the induction roar,albeit hot. As for end performance, yes it will be better but then if I wished for the ultimate in a six pot then I would have put my money where my mouth is and bought a cross flow. Sean, yours were solex I believe, hence the non sale.SKiddell said:Sounds like the only reason you have triples is because you think they look and sound good, nothing to do with end performance !!!!!

SeanDezart said:Grolls, the triples certainly vibrate or were you jusdt too excited ?
"I would have put my money where my mouth is and bought a cross flow" oh no you wouldn't ! That was your budget for the whole car !
What's wrong with Solexs then ? I don't like Webers - is it just a name/reputation thing ? Bloody Datsuns were sold by Nissan with Solexs' !

Your hardly comparing like for like are you
Bolt a few shiney bits on a mini engine and it looks good, Halfords have made a killing selling bits to the clio crew.
If you want to compare apples with apples then use a picture of "standard" triples and standard TB's ---- err bit like I did really .
Anyway whats that propeller doing on the front of your engine, and 3 of your wifes collanders doing over your carbs, they are clearly for show, as you could hardly fit ram pipes and filter material under there.
?????? explain as I am curiousCannon....so less need
you see thats probably where we differ, I am not interested in investment, if I were, then I would have bought a 2+2I would imagine that not many people would be interested at a car that has been that heavily modded

Hmmm I will bet we are thinking of totally differant places.but as my car/engine has as yet not been to the best in the country to set up the carbs
If they dont ask "where are the ram pipes", then I would revise your previous statement downwards.webers etc are designed specificaly to use them
