ah ok :). at first glance it looked pretty simple, but ive never worked on a scooby in my life so didnt know about that.

good luck with it anyway, im really looking forward to seeing it in action. what kerb weight are you shooting for? i know the early scoobies are the very light ones :)

Its my manifold mate i have got dereks but his icv and throttle position sensor plugs where different to mine his where 3 pin where mine are 4 pin plugs, unfortuantly my bits would not fit his manifold so had to put mine on there.

How did things go with the car mate, did you use all the bits.

Ahh I see, okay, didn't know that you were using your manifold.


Think you might be being at tad hopeful on the 1100kg weight mate (uless you've binned a fair amount of stuff off it.??), the earliest RA's were 1150kg, and thats a tad optimistic once you have all your fluids and fuel etc in the car.

Not yet mate, mapping is on Friday.

Need an opinion guy`s, I can`t decide wether to go with the front grill or leave it out ?

Im swaying towards leaving out, looks meaner and will also aid with airflow/cooling.

What you guy`s think ????


With grill

Without grill

The grill is a bit shabby up close dunc but may get it resprayed and fit it, will keep it off for time being.

Hopefully :roll: the car should be running next weekend, iv got to take a trip up to moccom to see zak and sort out my paralell fuel rail set up, and derek (aka diggler) will be helping me set the car up next weekend, so all going well ill be able to come to a meet or event very soon, :D

I think the fuel rail issue is a good one to solve.

I was looking at Perrin Rail kits the other day - they look a great solution.

It doesnt look like it will fit a classic but what do I know :)

I would ditch that grill and get a genuine V5-6 grill to match your bumper mate. Not that keen on aftermarket grills.
