hi turbo,glad to hear you dont bite ,the questions i would like ask is what spec is the engine when it was built. what miles has it done. has the gearbox been altered in any way, has it got an lsd. i have tried to contact the previous owners but no luck yet.can anyone help me as i am looking for a build manual aswell.how do you attach photos. and are their any coupe runs coming up? thanks for your help. stevie

Manual more like general guidance/thoughts. im sure there was one online i think Ken555 has a pdf version.


one way is to upload a picture fromyou machine using the browse/upload attachment option when you place a post. Or insert the link within these [img]link[/img] the img tells the forum its a image, a good way to see how animage from a link was inserted is to hit the quote button and you will see how it was done.

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience fitting 16v headed engines in Coupes and weather they had to do much bulk head mods to allow room for inlets? Pictures would be great.

Cheers

If your talking KAD 16v head then yes I remember an article on one and they had to put a bulkhead box in for the carbs.

Gavs Cox was KAD's hillclimb car I'll be going to have another look soon

But I take it you mean a BMW K head?

Yep looking at doing a 1460 Kad engine, definatly not the BMW head i'm not convinced on the power figures people are stating so i'll stick with what I know.
I'll be running injection with the this Jenvey throttle bodies so might not have to do as much modifying as a carbed head.

Any pictures of this hillclimb Cox?

I'll have a look but don't hold your breath I don't think I have any .
But I Will get some when I go and have another look at it.

It had an off at some point, and had a late 13" wheel front end fitted, the rear arch'es were modded to the same size.
It looked good but a bit odd with the soap dish rear.

Oh and it's Red

What's the largest size wiper blade I can use on my Coupe?
