Listees,



I got my 4-2-1 manifold on yesterday, put in the new AAQ needles (anyone
want some AAT's? - I have 2 stainless downpipes, 6 month old intermediate
pipe, year old muffler, 2 cast iron manifolds... offers....), stub stacks
and "reset" the carbs so I could tune them from scratch...

1 turn of the throttle screws and 2 turns of the mix adjusters was needed
to get the engine to idle smooth as silk.

I can already feel the difference - similar to the feeling when I first
put the K&Ns on - and Im yet to do my magic tuning... which I perversly
enjoy doing...

As the Mazda advert goes... it's "zoom zoom zoom" alright!
