WIMPUS Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 Recieved my order from a dutch Spitfire parts suppier (from the famous Rolduc area). And he had put some extra's in it.. Extra set of 45D points/condensor and a 25D points/condensor to. Thermostat i bought is NOS to, dont want to open it now 🫣. All is actually not for Fox, spares to help others probably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was to advanced, a lot ! Needed to actually search my white marking in the pully. I did check and adjusted everything. Timing, mixture, carb balance, timing again to make sure. It ran a lot smoother and more power to. checked spark plugs last week when he was here, nice brown color now. Owner now says after 2 weeks of driving it regular, its a total different car and uses a lot less fuel. So all seem good for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMPUS Posted September 1 Author Share Posted September 1 (edited) Decided to look at the noisy front suspension on Fox yesterday. Took it apart 2 times, 2 time removed all the bushes, loads of copper grease everywhere. Testdrive, all good. Wanted it to put it into the garage, outside the garage, still silent. Part it inside after 10 mins i push the car.. its back 🤬. Then i could see that both my track rod end gaiters had a split in them to and i dont have spares.. 20240831_210939.mp4 Edited September 1 by WIMPUS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMPUS Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 Saturday we went to the Abbey of Rolduc for the 10CR finish. For me 175km one way. Arrived at Rolduc to early and suddenly.. i spotted a brown Dolomite, had a talk with them and knew Fox to ! Then as i knew i had another hour that they started to arrive, i drive to the 3 Countries point (Belgium/NL/Germany) in Vaals. When driving back to Rolduc, Roger messaged me... to give me info and tell me more arrived, 30min drive and I was there.. Crikey ! It's the rozzers ! 20240907_181746.mp4 Then it was time to head back home after a nice evening. Massive rainstorm from just before Antwerp, softtop closed and stopped for fuel. Sadly water coming in between softtop seal and capping... But kept on driving. In total done 415kms, fuel use of 6,7L/100km. But did notice she was a little bit down on power.. Front carb was leaner then the back one, set it right and now fly's again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMPUS Posted Thursday at 07:16 Author Share Posted Thursday at 07:16 This morning fox went in for her yearly inspection. Tester came and said to other guy didnt want to (he was a very big bloke) 😅. When she was ready i went in to get her and asked if she passed... Yes, but i cant feel my legs anymore 😆. So passed without any advisory's again ! Not bad after 384.802kms/+239.000miles. Done just over 12.250miles in the past year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
