Fantastic car
! Which engine do you have? Have fun!
It currently has a 1.6 liter engine but I recently acquired a 2.0 twin spark engine. It will be some time before I get around to installing. The original 1.3 was replaced by the 1.6 before I got the car.Fantastic car
Last year I drove the car to Las Vegas and back, earlier this year to La Jolla and back. Last week for Monterey she logged 1,378km in 5 days. The car did suffer from a no spark issue in the way up and fortunately my friend was able to fix my cleaning the points and resetting the gap on the points. Pretty much averaged about 4,700 rpm which is about 78 mph per GPS iirc. A couple times I got her to 5,600 rpm which was 93 mph which is about as fast as she can go comfortably as water temperature will start to rise.
