What problem?
The motor revs its ring out as some of our club members can atest.
Although I dont give it a hard time very often.
All I wanted to achieve was a lumpy idle, A nice sound through the gears & to look good to me.

Im not a big grey motor fan either!
Its still there, because the car was never fitted with seat belts,
and if you fit a larger motor in my state (SA), I would have had to fit them
I also choose a mid 60's theme for the car, so it fits that anyway.

I reckon it kruizes as good as you think it looks. Sweet

Thanks for posting up the specs. That's a real special FB very . I'm hoping my EK wagon will end up like that - mid '60s sports.
Devilrod - I rang Alan Fountain about a month ago to order a pair of Frogmouths. The factory at that stage hadnt started back from Christmas holidays but he took my order anyway.
Thanks Thommo and Parisian, I'm more interested in the mesh bit, the roadster runs a 94 and I'm putting twins on it soon and want some filtration. Johns R&C have frogmouths but no spacer or mesh...
Speed and Style........... One day I'll get the speed bit.
