Was playing about with the 2 step limiter and the roll control today ready for some strip action at Bugjam next weekend, it leaves pretty hard

No worries

Yeah I’m happy with the performance, I know full well it’s never going to be a record breaker but for a heavy and fully fitted out westfalia poptop (minus the sink unit) which is street driven and used for holidays it’s pretty stout!

Bus has been racking up the miles this summer, on the 14th several of the earlybay.com originals. Grazy, Egotrippin, radish, MCVW and Marcher descended upon my workshop in the sleepy Suffolk country side for a camp out, bbq and piss up at my workshop. Much alcohol was consumed



Then on the Sunday myself, Egotrippin, Radish and Grazy drove back to Felixstowe for lunch on the pier. We couldn’t park along the sea front so upset all of Grazys neighbours :lol:

Racked up over 300 miles this week in the bus just doing errands, using it for work as well as trip up the coast.
Came across a misfire yesterday at about 5000 rpm when having a blast down a back road which turned out to be due to a knackered spark plug. New set of plugs and it a screamer again :mrgreen:

Off down to Dorset in it week after next for a weeks camping

 

[K@rlos]

Had a 248 mile non stop trip from Felixstowe to Dorset on Thursday, bus cruised at 70mph most of the way and didn’t miss a beat, didn’t get too hot and was fairly good on fuel too! :mrgreen:

Not bad considering many says performance motors in buses are troublesome and unreliable….



Home till Tuesday

 

[K@rlos]

Back from Dorset, just over 500 miles and 2 tanks of fuel.
Flawless 8)

Will be at retro dubs the weekend in Ipswich then off the road for the winter and for the nitrous oxide install :mrgreen:

 

[K@rlos]

Had a great summer in the bus, all locked away for the winter now for some work and improvements.

I’ll be installing a nitrous express fogger system and increasing the engines capacity from 2110cc to a 2276cc :mrgreen:

 

[K@rlos]

Motors out of the bus now, picking the 2276cc pistons and barrels up from the post office tomorrow and hopefully taking the long block to hector next week.

But while it was sitting there on the floor I began to have a bit of a play…





I’ll also be pulling the tank out and welding in an AN-4 fitting for the return line from the secondary fuel system for the nitrous. No real dead line for it to be done, I’d like it for ninove but I’m hoping to be in the states at about that time.

 

[K@rlos]

Got all the new bits, tear down starts next week.
