This is all a bit "x-files" like,,,,, (insert x-files theme music here) today i had 4 ph calls from different Twinky kit purchasers & spend basically the whole day either on the phone to twinky customers or working on one of my own twinky donks & then this topic pops up,,, :-)

& it`s all smoke & mirrors Gaz,,, none of it actually exists :-)

I rather like Jimbos (Jimsters) turbo twinky video on youtube,,, he just doesn`t quite have a handle on the 200hp yet :-) but keeps up quite well none the less :)

no kenno,,, i never ever had any in the first place,,, i was only joking about the whole thing,, it`s just been a major scam from day one :-)

oH,,, sorry,,, though this was another thread,,, oops my bad :-)

my 1510 donk with K1200 hed will be a while away have head,,, have donk,,, just hav`nt married them together yet,,,

the small bore twinky with single carb & dist is all ready to go, just finishing up a few fiddly things & i`ll fire it up on the ground before i chuck it in the blue "S"

the turbo injected moke is still waiting for my wiring man to finish off the dash & guages, he`s stolen the fuel relay & the computer so it can`t be started without him (ning nong!!!)

I have a few more customers engines here but they`re in the middle of being created

I`m off surfing at Byron for most of next week (have freinds over from NZ & teaching them how to surf) so probly won`t get time to get back onto the twinkys till the week after,,,, i expect that both the moke & the small bore will be runners then tho. (again)

I have been playing with the Dummy up of one of my turbo 16b race donks tho & have sorted what rod length i need so i`ll order those in the next week or 3 :-)

I was at the doctors most of the morning getting a check for the thing/lump in my throat being cut off so i havn`t done much today but ph calls & a bit bif a play with the small bore twinky, orer some bits, pay some bills, fit a new fluro light tube into the kitchen & baby sit one of the dogs is crook :-) it`s a hard life :-)

25lbs boost & 8000rpms with twin cam 16v turbo injection should make a bit over 60hp a the wheels yeah??? ;-) How do i stop the wheel spin??? do i need new tyres???

:-)

Just sort of half engage the clutch. That will stop the wheels spinning. Probably won't help your clutch live a long life though.
