You can adjust the timing at 30mph (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

No, I'm not that good as I do have to stop...but I can adjust and set the timing with my seat belt on. Did this the 2nd time out as I forgot to tighten the dizzy down. |

Driving with the access panel on could make earplugs popular (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

I have my teen up on the hoist right now, not a single leak anywhere. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
I was really surprised how easy the big six was to start. I had trepidation that I may have wired my twinplug dizzy wrong and I couldn't static set my timing with the MSD. I gave the key a quick turn to see if the starter worked and it fired! 2nd turn it started right up! A quick timing check and I was right into the break-in running. So far the full balance /6 is super smooth, totally different animal from a T4. While waiting on my alt to come back from the rebuilders I'll be chasing the dreaded spongy brake. |

Tires are 205/60-15, we'll see, I'm not a huge fan of GT flares, maybe pull the fenders for 225's. I have my young lads 914 in the works and he often get's my cast offs, so I'll look at wheels/flares options when we get further into his car. |

Great news. How loud is it in the drivers seat when the firewall is open like that? You can download an app to measure the volume.
