    This is going to be so cool. Is it possible to blow through the SU? Apparently the Chinese reproduction AMRs have a liner on the rotors that disintegrates after coming into contact with fuel. A blow through would eliminate this issue but a draw through, cools the supercharger. Just stating what I've heard.

    • @FoxSpeedshop
      @FoxSpeedshop 2 месяца назад

      Unsure about the rotor coating, i havent heard it, doesnt mean its not correct though! Blow through is more difficult regardless of carb especially with a mechanical fuel pump as a blowthrough setup needs a boost referenced fuel supply, one that increases fuel supply as boost increases to prevent lean running

    I like the mercs as well but I have actually passed up on mercs because I was waiting for shoebox ford. I agree about the coupe vs two door sedan though, I have two door sedan and plan on chopping it unless I come across a coupe I can afford. To me the perfect car is a 1949 Ford Coupe, lowered, with skirts, either a shaved fuel filler or a fuel door from a 51 grafted in and some 51 trunk hinges to clean it all up. Just a cleaned up mostly stock car though.

    Fantastic, glorious Fiat 500. It was one of the greatest Italian prides in terms of small cars, which marked a great era for those years. Always a lot of fun to drive, even if the internal space is extremely limited, including the pedals, which require small feet (for small people). Or, for people with big feet, they currently drive barefoot (without some shoes). As in this video, do you drive with shoes or without shoes?
