Awesome! good to hear that you have found the sweet spot for your engine! "My (Weber DGV) carburator also turns quite rich when accelerating. I already tried to fix that but have not yet found a way to do so." You might have to take the car into a tuner with a rolling road so they can re-jet the carb so it will have a more consistent fuel delivery across the RPM range.

I run a 2 litre pinto which is a BRISCA F2 race spec and that runs on 2 degrees timing. My previous stock engine with twin weber 45s was also running at 2 degrees timing. The best way to set the timing (in my experience) is to do it by ear. Turn the dizzy to the point that it is idling smoothly at the lowest rpm it can. when you achieve this, it will be running OK without pinking (detonation). Also, don't go by the book as the book was written for (proper) fuel back in the 80s/90s and todays fuel can't have as much compression and they ignite faster than they used to (you can thank Ethanol for this and all the rubbish they mix in).

Awesome, very happy for you! About the pedal box, yes, you will need some karting shoes (don't go with racing ones as they are way too expensive due to homologation with FIA standards which you won't need unless racing it on a race track). It's always good to have some paperwork with it, shows that the last owner was diligent and took care of it. Yes, keep us updated, we love to hear about people building their kit cars!

Welcome to the club! This is a fantastic hobby and it really pays off when you go on the road to enjoy the fruits of your labour! Having said this, it needs nerves of steel as frustration runs high, and some times we literally run on fumes so spanners do fly around! 🤣

Interesting, I marshalled at the BRSCC event at Brands Hatch in April and will do again in October!

Hello, try this retailer here: Savage Switches – CheckMOT

I got a spare one, from mine as I do not use it. PM me your details and I'll post it over to you.

I hope this will help you on how to adjust the clearance....

This is brilliant!! PM sent 😉

Have a word with the manufacturer and see if they have any replacement parts for your Tiger… https://www.tigersportscars.co.uk

Hello, I have a tiger cat e1 with spax coilovers. what engine are you running? mine has a 2.0 Ford pinto and the sump was 4 fingers away from the road! If you want to raise the coil-overs just for the sump clearance, I would suggest a short, purpose-build sump. Brand new they go around £150 which is not too bad all things considered….

I am soo sorry for not making it to the show…

🤣 I took option 3 a year ago … 🤣🤣🤣 I might take Option 2 this year, come on Sunday with my family as a day out…

Oh, how much I would love to be there but unfortunately, my Eva is not ready yet so I will have to sit this one out....again!
