Greetings,
for those who are unaware, a group of auto enthusiasts got together on 2005 with the idea for a unique car club. The common thread among members is the ownership or enthusiasm for vehicles that still run on carbs and points Therefore anything from your Great Uncle's 1932 Rolls to your 1978 Datsun 120Y are welcome! We don't care that your bumper is crooked or your paint is bubbling, or your dash has cracks. We are just happy to meet, ol talk, share ideas, and generally share advice and knowledge so we can keep our cars on the road.
So far I have about 8 names on the registry, and almost twenty cars! I'll stert the ball rolling by listing my projects. Hopefully everyone else will follow the format:
MGB GT
Reg# PO 9145
Engine: 1798cc 4 cylinder
Transmission: 4 speed manual
Drive: RWD, solid rear axle
Mods: Weber, tubular manifold, telescopic Spax dampers
Vauxhall Chevette HSR
Reg# PAM 9775
Engine: 2279 cc 4 cylinder, DOHC
Transmission: 5 speed manual
Drive: RWD, solid rear axle
Mods: none so far
Contact: PM or e-mail [email protected] _________________

ok junki, only cuz is you, we go let yuh in.....by aftermarket ignition, I mean MSD kits or Lumenition Magnetronic / Optronic kits, Petronix etc.....electronic ignition was an option on the HSR back when it was new, but since dad went nuts with the Recaros, he had to X-off the electronics from the options list....mind you, the recaros were not an option, but he got them to install them anyway _________________
