In the description it clearly states 12 + driver so there's a heap more seats and people you aren't accounting for.

 

so it's counting a bench front seat.. yeah right who sits in the front of a limo

and the bech at the back as 3...i'm not crouding in that hard.

 

I went with 2 on the rear seat and 1 extra in each of the 6 new stand alone seats.

 

plus a driver in front.

 

could you get more, yes, would you tho..doubt it

 

Correction---

 

your right I didn't look at the pics close enough and yes there is a 2nd rear facing back seat. so lets add an extra 157kg to this...

It shouldn't sink anyway...what idiot sells out of a stock because of a one week delay to a procedure...do they even know what they are investing in?

People have sold off for dumber reasons. Also this week delay was unplanned, which is not great for morale/confidence.

Stupid people...if it said a delay due to something that is likely to ihibit success, I would accept it. A delay due to something that can easily be fixed within a week should hardly be a decider whether someone stays in a spec stock or not. The bet here is on the flow results, i.e. whether they can get profitable oil out of the ground, not how fast they can do it.

The only other reasons I can think of are short termers who hedged everything on getting an announcement this week, or people expecting a drop on any announcement and trying to beat others to the chase so they can buy in lower.

needs more low,

but yeah looks like a fun car.

Why sell it, not going to make you any real money, and you could pop it on club reg and have a weekender.

yeah the look of it is growing on me. Since ive never driven one, i cant comment on what its like the drive.
Theres a bunch of reasons why I dont want it.
- Most people convert to electric ignition because old car. I probably would want to too
- drum rear brakes.
- rust is always a concern, even if car has none visible. (not sure how im going to check the fuel tank...)
- not fast enough for my liking. fast mods is more money, less reliability. apparently they're about 1000kgs, but the nameplate says 1300kgs ??? surely not that heavy...
- electrics are pretty damn nasty. ive become pretty fastidious and would want to re-wire the entire thing, which further takes it away from "original" spec.
- I dont have space and i dont want space for more cars.
- 2x project cars and rarely being home is hard enough as it is.
- I would prefer a sunbeam Alpine if I had to choose a british coupe

If I had a mortgage or something and got rid of the gloria, then yeah, i'd probably tinker with it and hold onto it. I dont think they will fetch big money like its older cousins in the near future, so dont see it as an investment. However, its relative simplicity and cheap parts plus that old car character make it tempting...

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
