Not really my thing, but I'm still looking forward to seeing how it develops.

How much was it again?
Re: Project Redneck
Good fun
Hope it ends up better than the pink starion I owned.

Performance feels good at legal speeds, which is clearly what it was built for. Over that it suffers from the tall gearing (the rear diff is 2.73) and the power tailing off over 4000rpm. I did an impromptu burnout at the lights earlier; me and my youngest had gone for a cruise with the t-tops off, I just mashed the pedal and it lit the tyres up at about 2000rpm

Performance is like a modern diesel but at least it sounds good doing it
How about not having a sig at all?

I’ve even had a couple of neighbours tell me how awesome they think it is.

When will you start doing rolling burnouts past the elderly ?

Re: Project Redneck
I think a good engine service will probably do absolute wonders. Also, and you'll laugh, but I'd check the base timing (presume it's a dizzy) as it sounds very lazy.

Re: Project Redneck
I plan on doing that when I reset the injection system. It idles a bit high at the moment.

So 400rpm idle just now then?

Re: Project Redneck
Don’t know exactly, the rev counter is permanently stuck on 7000rpm but the lurch into gear suggests it could do with being a bit lower.

Re: Project Redneck
Is the plan to get it working properly first then modify, or are you just going to dive straight in and get frustrated and sell it?

I think at the moment the plan is to enjoy it pretty much as is over summer while I save up for a full respray.

So you can drive the 911 if you want to go fast and this if you want to go loud.
