avenga · February 03, 2012, 10:06:38 PM

blekkja · February 03, 2012, 11:06:45 PM

Give it to me?

14" Widened steelies and lowness! and thats it. DO NOT Lower it on modgeys with eigars and a Dumpy exhaust.

Drive it!

I think it needs a monsoon, visor and venetian blinds...any of you young guys know what they are??...lol

avenga · February 05, 2012, 12:11:17 AM

Hell yes!! We had an old cortina wagon when I was a kid with a visor and monsoons.

A lot of my Valiant mates run Visors on their safari's.

And one of my other mates had an old Jeep which was all black with black monsoons. Looked soo mean.

I agree that it needs a monsoon & a sun visor over the windscreen but venetian blinds might be a bit much haha.

^Agree

blekkja · February 05, 2012, 11:27:54 AM

Avenger Monsoons are awful though. The window is too small! Maybe if they covered the Quaterlight as welll...

79estate · February 06, 2012, 06:04:27 PM

hahah Choice As,

yeah i was thinking about some nice steelies?? what sort??

Im going 2 re-core the radiator, 4 brand new 175/r13s which will give it just a bit of a cleaner look plus handle a bit nicer round corners, put a descent sound system in it, maybe re-do the wooden deck, [ long run]

what about extractors with a clean nice brand new exhaust system, giving it a beautiful sound.

yeah??

Cheers Mikey.

Nikolai · February 06, 2012, 06:47:58 PM

Hey Mikey,

I will have extractors for sale (and possible the whole 2.5" exhaust for sale for a 4 door Avenger) later this week (was brand new Nov last year). You'd be able to lengthen it and still use it for a fraction of the brand new price.

blekkja · February 06, 2012, 07:29:41 PM

If you are going to do up your exhaust you will want to look at the other side of the operation as well. I had mine built to handle delortos and the single 1.75 stromburg doesn't quite cut it. It does sound quite nice, though. Drowns out the nasty noise coming from the tappets!

Nikolai · February 06, 2012, 08:04:31 PM

Keep in mind that twin carbs of any sort (eg Stromberg or Dellorto) will increase your gas consumption considerably.

The larger exhaust will give you much more top end on it's own, and a nice sound

I also have some twin strombergs with manifold but would need to be gone over with the carb kit (which I also have) which can be done for a mean price too! Hahaha.
