Update: Getting closer to having a fine running TDr
Hey Folks —
Kentt said it was time for a status report on Emma — so here is the latest to date:
It turns out that I was working 2 problems together — tuning the used center-mount Weber IDF 40 carb and fixing the car’s habit of running hot (around 210-220 on 95 degree day with beating sun…[Read more]

Stephen Houser replied to the topic The Site Input Forum… in the forum Site Input and Issues 9 years ago
O.k. So I just did that, created the How-to, moved a few threads there, and then closed the old topics in this forum that were no longer relevant.
I’ll fill in some of the known features we want as threads into this forum next week. Feel free to add your own!

That venturi ring functions similar to carb velocity stack, and increases airflow as much as 10% at full throttle. The curved shape funnels the air in, rather than it “dragging” on the corner where it must make a 90 degree turn to enter the fan. It is simply more aerodynamic… Not magic, more snake oil…

This illustrates a worm, opened thermostat. A factory German thermostat will fail in this fully opened position making sure the air cooling vanes are open. A Brazilian aftermarket thermostat is a different design, and can fail in the closed position.

Stephen, there was a feature on the old site which I miss: there was a listing of the names of those who are currently logged in. A few minutes ago, I responded to a question from a member and I would normally stay logged in (if I knew he was still online) to see if he understood my answer.

Royal replied to the topic VW Oil Change — Special Conditions in the forum VW Based Kits 9 years ago
John, you are correct that the oil filter only needs about 1/4-1/2 turn after oiling the rubber gasket. Any tighter than that is only necessary from an “idiot mechanic”.
WRT your problems with the oil drain plate: I do not use any gasket sealer at all and am bone dry underneath. Try threading the nuts onto the studs without the plate. If the…[Read more]

I’m looking for your input on possibly splitting the ‘Site Input’ forum into two separate forums to help me manage the fixes that need to be done and to separate them from the site tutorial type threads.
Here’s the proposal:
- Site Input — a forum for site problem reports and to track upgrades, fixes, etc. One issue per thread and the thread…

Beautiful!
Coincidentally, early this afternoon before we knew of Steve’s purchase, Happy Jack mentioned to me that he might be interested in buying a Bugatti. His BCW TDr Weber installation is complete (with the exception of a few minor tweaks), but that is Jack’s story so he should tell it.

They have been doing a Motorfest at this location for a couple of years. I have thought about going. I sent them an e-mail asking if our replicas would be welcome and here is the response I got;”
