Hi Guys. Have you found the life time of these to be much reduced over the standard H4 bulbs?
-
Hi Phil. Sorry to see this thread, thought you had this for life. Do you have any Triumph bits left or did any spares go with the car. Hope you get something to play with soon. Best MikeS

Had our first one three weeks ago, both Chris and I are well over 70, but still petrolheads

Hi. Having set mine at the 30degrees as mentioned it just rests on the "spacer stop" both sides, I will see how it settles once the engine and gearbox are back in. Robos, what size torsion bar do you have and is this for standard ride height or slightly lowered? Thanks Mike
-
Thanks, I started putting it together this morning and have set both sides to 30 degrees, so will see once it settles. Mike
-
Thanks Roy. Will try I was thinking of trying 30 degrees as the 2.7 is a bit lighter.

Hi All. Hope everyone is staying safe, and still playing with the motors. I have a question for the suspension experts. I have a 77 - 2.7 911 and I understand the standard rear torsion bars should be 23mm rated at 100lb, the spring plates free setting should be between 36*30' and 37 degrees as a starter for standard ride height. My car was fitted with 25mm torsion bars which are rated at 140lb. Does anyone know or have a calculation to give me an indication of what angle to set these at or what the difference in ride height would be if the same free angle setting was used (I assume considerably higher due to the spring rate). I know the final adjustment will need to be made once things settle, but a starting point would be great. Is there any info on this forum, ddk, or pelican. Any help would be much appreciated. Mike.

Hi Phil. Glad you guys are keeping safe and still playing with the 911. Did you get the full kit including the display or just the controller. How much did it take to set up, is Shaun happy with the controller? MikeS
-
Hi Phil. Do you think it shows a more accurate warmup vs the cam carrier fitting you had, any benefit other then better installation. Where did you order the adaptor from also p/n Other than setting the in the MS software any other issues
-
Hi Phil. Nice to see an update, but I wonder why? The "CHT" is only used for detecting warn up. Does it not warm up fast enough or are you just concerned with the fitting? Look forward to seeing the next update.
-
Have these now gone ? Mike
-
Hi Phil looks good, like the idea. Where did you get the rain hats for the air filters from
-
Sounds like you are having fun? as long as the motor is sweet, I would not worry about the mpg. Re the maps no rush whenever you get time, did you get my email address/ Will be interested in the motorway/cruise mpg,
-
Hi Phil. Thanks. will look for the map later, will be happy to see it, will this be Ignition and Injection? would like to see both if possible Did you seal the adjusting screws or are you relying on the springs, what change to get you full throttle opening.
-
Hi Phil. Glad to see you are still enjoying the learning curve. Why do you think is will be necessary to do the balancing so often? are the adjusters backing off? I still need to get in touch with Shaun, did the current maps change much from his first set up? Will be interested in the fuel usage. By the way, you missed a great day last Saturday at Greatworth. apart for the rain is was a great day I thought. Mike
