Carcadia Cars/Coffee

Post by nismou20 »

Met up with Ray Lim, Peter, Emi, (sorry if I misspelled your name) and a father and son team Alex and Noah. Emi has the dark green Ztec swapped roadster. Having a good time talking shop for nearly 4 hours. I was really pleased with some mods I applied to the SU carbs yesterday and driving it today. Thinning the spindle shaft really does make a noticeable difference for the better and the RA needles rock! Yet to test out the newly ground damper/piston. Also found some Orings to reduce vacuum leaks at the shaft ends. They are working but eventually I will swap them to Viton Orings.

Those SU mods deserve it's own thread!

Thanks for the write up,Tom. It’s the most roadsters I’ve seen at this meet. Looking forward to seeing more roadsters in my neck-of-the-woods.
