Good move on dissposing of the side skirts and the blue details look far better

need to warm it up every time dude, if shes cool. ps. get a full stainless straight through. the rip out the end when u plant it is as good as the tickling from the carbs. what webers they 40 or 45? what feul pump you using? recommed facet redtop (www.peterlloydrallying.co.uk) before getting set up as it really does make a difference.
lose the socks and it sounds/ runs better as well. ppl say its bad for the engine and that but i live/ work on a farm and my engine still running fine without filters.

What is it like with twin carbs?? I had the chance to fit twin carbs to my astra Gte years ago and I side stepped it thinking it would be a step back
