Title: Wanna Say Thanks To Russ And Land
Post by: AlanU on April 14, 2008, 12:11:59 AM
This year's been a simple non nonsense one.  Replumbed the Fuel line's and breather system to clean up the Roach's engine compartment.

Just wanted to say thanks to Lanny for settting me up for the killer new LanD breather setup and all of help. Also wanted to say thanks to Russ for my beautiful tin!!!

Heres some quick snapshots of my ugly roach.

Trev, I got the unilite last year. For some eyes \"she ain't pretty\" as an MSD distributor but I just wanted the optic pickup rather than magnetic. Debates on magnetic pickup vs. optics are always upto discussion but I was too friggen lazy to use different ends on my ignition wires :) The timing light loves the unilite regardless of brand (cheapy to snapon) and its precise upto the moon in revs.  Infinite variables for ignition timing and changeable built in advance to whatever degree you like (within reason).

I guess another add on I did at the tail end of last summer was another set of fuchs. Fuchs fitted with 15\" Bridgestone Touring TA's for a taller tire compared to my smaller diameter 225/50/16's.

If I get some energy I'll clean up the roach even more. The current cold spring weather is a bad infuence for the enthusiasm I usually have.
