    Angry, Annoyed, Gutted (updated)

    I've read quite a bit about the airspeed threads on VZi and to be totally honest i think its mainly 1 or 2 people with the issues and the rest have jumped on the bandwagon. The main concern with airspeed is how its been put together and not the parts used. If your that unsure i would by a decent...

    No Power...1600 SP

    Took the van out for a drive over the weekend (was planning on going to Stonor) and to be totally honest the van has no get up and go, show it any sort of hill and you might as well get out and walk. Timing is spot on, carb (30 pict 2) is re-conned and set up according to solex, points...

    Simple Beam Narrowing?

    Couldn;t you space out the bottom trailing arm? But in all honestly your talking less then 3/4 inch, have a look at most cars and while ideally a shock should run vertical not many actually do

    Split charge relay help (faux?)

    As said it better to take the live feed from the dynamo / charging light output as this stops the leisure battery and start battery from being in circuit when cranking (this is usually what blows the fuses)

    SVDA timing at idle is usually 7.5 deg BTDC with the vac pipe disconnected and blocked. I would try setting the timing to this 1st before trying anything else

    Engine Choice

    If your in a rush then an off the shelf 1600 / 1641 is the easiest way but it wont be cheap (no turn key engine is cheap) If you have time to build something yourself then the common engine build size seems to be 1776, again it wont be cheap
